Hi

Could someone please help me out...

I am trying to set the focus on a specific component within a frame,
i.e. to display the cursor within one specific JTextArea within a
frame. I have tried to use requestFocus(), but it doesn't work for me.
I cannot get the cursor to wait within that specific text area.
Instead it remains within the first text area within the main frame.

Please can someone tell me how to overcome this problem.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks
Uri
