How can I manage focuses without focusmanager???

[lanfeust]

I have problems to manage the focuses on textareas in a JDialog. I can't use the focusmanager because, with the focusmanager i can't capture the tab (->|) button on the keyboard.
The problem is; when I request a focus on a textarea, it jumps to another textarea.

f.e.: there are 11 textareas, by entering a value in the first on and pressing on the tab (->|) button it has to change the focus depending on the value that is typed in. It only may change the focus when the tab button is pressed en not when the focus of the textarea is lost.


thx in advance
