I start up an application by soliciting a line of text information from
the user. I do this with JDialog and JTextField. The control comes up
just after I have put a menu on the screen.

The problem is that the user has to move the mouse over the control in
order to get focus. I've tried putting jTextField.requestFocus() before
and after the jTextField.setVisible(true), but to no avail.

Ideas? Solutions?
