1. add KeyListener to target
or
2. use direct method

Thanks a lot quuba

Is another one resolution. Just using dispatchEvent.
target not need additional listeners.
Example for button[0] and button[1]:

or shorter version

Dear Sir,
i have attached the whole code with class file for your consideration.
Infact this code was written in jdk1.2.2 and its working well there
but while migrated to java se 6 its not giving desired results
but it successfully compiled with java se 6.It has java se 6 compile classes in myproj.zip (attachment)
Action desired: While user click to virtual key it should type that letter to focused field but its not doing in java se 6.
Kindly help to resolve this problem

Thanks

In release 1.4, the focus subsystem was rearchitected.

Use the piece of code. This adds an AWTEventListener to receive all AWTEvents dispatched system-wide that conform to the given eventMask.

VirtualKeyButton: change the source/target respectively to Component: usernameTextField.getTextField() and sfuIdTextField.getTextField(). Make same changes in constructor.

At and realize switching through buttons with ImageIcon.
