.requestFocus() does not seem to work?

[Reza Beheshti]

I can't get the .requestFocus() for a component to work.

I'd like to have the cursor on a particular input field when the dialog opens, so I call the Component.requestFocus() as the last thing in the dialog init method, but it doesn't work!

What am I missing?


P.S This is all Swing 1.1 stuff.


Thanks.
