I've got a serious problem!

I have build an application using JInternalFrames, which are added to a
JDesktopPane. The problem is thats, if a user has more frames opened and
uses the TAB key, it rotates all the frames, instead of what I'm used of -
and want - : it rotates just the components of the frame that has the
current focus.

This beheavore has some nasty side-effects in my application, because the
user is pushing buttons on panels he's not aware of.

Is this a known problem?

I tried to use requestFocus() to the first component on the last component
on each frame on keypressed events (== KeyEvent.VK_TAB)... does'nt help.

Is the a way to make a JInternalFrame modal?

Can someone please help me?
