Hi all,

I have a login window with 2 fields (Login & Password) and an OK-Button. 
The user would like to have the OK-Button pre-selected (marked with a 
border or something) and when Enter is pressed the button will be "pressed".

I could add a listener on each text-field but is that the way to go 
here? How do I get the border or other marking of the pre-selected button?

Any and all help is much appreciated,

Magnus

Simpler then expected :)

I put: getRootPane().setDefaultButton(okButton);
after the call to jbInit(); in my constructor.

dialog.getRootPane().setDefaultButton(okButton)

will ensure that when you press the ENTER key, your event handler for the OK 
button will be executed.  Of course, this is presuming that your dialog does 
not contain a JTextArea that could be having focus when you press the ENTER 
key.  But I should think that would be unlikely for a login dialog :-)
