Arrow Key Input

[Runesoul]

Alright, i cannot figure out for the life of me how to take arrow key input. The only thing i've found on it is how to do it regarding an applet. My program is not an applet... so it didn't work when I tried it. Any suggestions?

Thanks

Is this a command line input? If so, i'm not sure you can get the arrow key. If you're using a keylistener then it should work. You'll have to look in the KeyEvent API to see.

My program is running in a Frame. I looked at the KeyEvent API and it seemed like you had to have something to take focus before you can use a key listener. This presents a problem for me because all I have in the Frame are Images...

Anyone know of a way I could get around this?

You can make the frame request focus. Look in the API for Frame, the method will either be in there on one of the superclasses....

implement the KeyListener interface in a class and add it

MyFrame.addKeyListener()
