I have a frame containing multiple JTextField for input of 5 characters in each field. I move to next input area by Tab or mouse. I want to move next input area, when I have keyed in 5 characters, automatically. But How?. Solution is requested.

Try to use KeyListener or KeyAdapter classes from java.awt.event package and add this listener to your text fields using addKeyListener() method of JTextField. Override the keyTyped() method of KeyListener and check the text length of the text field. If it is equal to the 5 char. then use the requestFocus() on the target text field to get the focus. I think it will solve your problem.
