Description
/*
the [original code below] causes the combo box to grab the focus if you use
the key sequence alt+c. This works great, unless you keep holding the 'c' key
after leting go of the 'alt' key. If this is the case the focus jumps to the
JLabel component and not to the combo box as expected(desired). I verified
this
using the Swing acessability classes...
This is a serious problem for me, this ccmakes keyboard navigation very
tricky...
I am using swing 1.1 and JDK 1.1.7 under winNT 4 +SP3

//Add a combo box

ColName_LBox.addItemListener( this ); //Listener is not important
//Add a JLable
tLabel = new JLabel(sRes.getString("BPANEL_COLLEC"));
//Asociate it to Combo Box
tLabel.setLabelFor(ColName_LBox);
//Give it a Key Mnemonic
tLabel.setDisplayedMnemonic(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_C);

Workaround None.
Evaluation Lynn -- I kind of consider the labelFor property accessibilities baby. Can
you take a look at this? If you think that I'm misassigned it to you, please
pass it back.
