Hi,

in my application I have a JTextField in which a timevalue can be entered.
This timestring hat to be checked on leaving the field (by pressing the
TAB or Enter-Key). If the format can not be converted, the focus
should not be handed over to the next contol.

The only way i found to prevent the focus to be changed is throwing a
runtime-exception in the focusLost-Event-Procedure (a consume of the
Focus-Event is not alowed.
The Exception causes the hiding of the caret but the focus stays in the
first field.

Does anybody know a better way to solve this problem?

greetings

Robert
