So what I've got is that I would love to try and make an little login applet. I'm using Java Windowsbuilder for it, to make it easyer for me. I hope the code isn't to messy, because I'm just a starter.
The problem I've got is that My JButton "login" only registers a keyevent when it's selected trought tab, or when you first click it. What I want is that I can use the button always just by pressing the "ENTER" key.
Hope you guys solve my problem :)

Thanks Emil!
Sounds like you want to make the "login" button the default button for the dialog.
See Enter Key and Button for the problem and solution.
