How to Set Focus on JTextField?

I make my game run without mouse so using pointer is not a choice. High Score menu will show when player lose.

this is my code

    highScore=new MyTextField("Your Name");
    highScore.addKeyListener(this);
    highScore.setFont(font);
    highScore.requestFocusInWindow();

I have tried 

highScore.setFocusable(true);
highScore.requestFocusInWindow();
highScore.requestFocus(true);
highScore.requestFocus();

but still not gained focus on my JTextField.

How to focus it?

java swing jtextfield setfocus

If you want your JTextField to be focused when your GUI shows up, you can use this:

in = new JTextField(40);
f.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter() {
    public void windowOpened( WindowEvent e ){
        in.requestFocus();
    }
});

Where f would be your JFrame and in is your JTextField.
