Hi,
I have doubt in AWT. How to transfer cursor control between two Textareas in the same panel? Also how do i make the user give input in one textarea and read it in the other textarea.
Any help will be greatly appreciated

You need to add listeners to the textarea's and then when you are notified of an event in the textarea you can stop and do stuff (like changing the contents of the other textarea).
To transfer control, when you are notified of an event you can change the focus.

Hi,
Thanks for ur suggestions. How do i actually transfer the focus to a particular textarea or textbox. The API transferFocus just transfers the focus to the next element in the focus order.

Call requestFocus() on the TextArea.
