TextField and keyPressed Event

[Watts]

I am using the CaretPosition of a TextField in order to switch fields based on a keyPressed event. The problem is that this event is not behaving consistantly. Sometimes the event is handled before the character appears (which is what I want) and sometime the event is handled after the character is added (not what i want). When the later happens my keyPressed event doesn't switch to the next field causing a serious problem.

Does anyone know how to force this keyPressed event to occurs before the character is added to the TextField?

This might work:

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent e)
{
int c = tf.getCaretPosition();

if(c>=10)
{
tf2.requestFocus();
}
}

That is exactly what I am doing Vepo. My problem is that is Visual Cafe it handles the keyPressed event differently than Internet Explorer. Your code works great in Cafe but when I try to run it on IE the character appears and then the focus is shifted.

Sorry, I didn't know that you are coding an applet... maybe someone who knows more about applets can help you.
