When a particular tab is selected, either with the mouse or 
programmatically, I want focus to go to the top component on the 
selected panel. So far I can't make this happen. I've googled and have 
come up with possible solutions but no success yet.

The following almost works.

I added code to the jTabbedPane's stateChanged event to request focus 
for the appropriate jPanel that will be shown for that tab.

That panel's focusGained event is successfully triggered.

In the panel's focusGained event I added code to request focus for the 
component on the panel, but that does not work.

Someone suggested that the component may not be visible, so do 
setVisible(true) for it. That doesn't help.

I've also tried the componentShown event instead of focusGained for the 
panel, but no good.

Thanks

John
