When the user clicks on the EXIT button at the top-right of an
application's frame (the 'X' on a windows app) -or- when the user
invokes the ALT-F4 keyboard accelerator, the frame receives a
processWindowEvent() message where id=WINDOW_CLOSING without sending a
focusLost() message to the component with keyboard input focus.  I'd
like to be able to send a focusLost() message to the GUI component that
has focus before the processWindowEvent() gets fired to trigger the
component's validation process.  Does anyone know how to do this?
