How to implement "Enter" short cut key on the OK buttons in my swing components (JPanel and JInternalFrames)
Thanks

I'm shure, there are many ways of doing this. One way is, that your JFrame listens for keys. Everytime "Enter" key is pressed, you can send a message to other listening components (JPanel, JInternalFrame). They can do something, when they catch this event. You may ask now, how do you add the components as a listener to your JFrame. One possibility would be the work with Observer and Observable. An other way would be using PropertyChangedEvent.
The only fact is (as I know), the JFrame is the only component, which knows all key events, no matter which component the focus has.

I tried to remove the Enter Binding from Key map. It does not work right to me.
Could you post some examples with Observer/Observable?
I dont understand why some simple features are made so complicated to code.Like making a button as a "Default Button" in a Component.
Thanks

This is a small example:
File 1 TestJFrame.java

File 2 MyBean.java

Hope this helps you
