First, Jeff, please change your user name from
jwisard to something that follows the
JavaRanch Username Convention like
Jeff Wisard...
Next... on to the problem... it sounds simple enough to solve...
Just add a FocusListener to your JTextFields that looks something like the following...
However, the behavior of scrollRectToVisible( Rectangle ) sometimes breaks... so you'll have to mess with it to get something appropriate to your layout... ( The following listener
almost works perfectly with the previous code... it still jumps around a bit more than I like, though... )
