how do I control tabbing through components

[CINC]

I have an array of JTextFields in GridBagLayout in a JPanel and instead of tabbing through them horizontally, then wrapping around, I want to be able to tab vertically (down), then wrap back up to the top of the next column.

I really need help with this one.

Thanks,
CINC

All subclasses of JComponent can use the setNextFocusableComponent() method to explicitly define what component gets tabbed to next. You have to set it on every component in your JPanel to override the defaults.
