Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

I need to catch the tab key for all my components (mainly JTextFields).
here is my code:
private void DateOpen1KeyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, //no owner frame
"evt.key code: " + evt.getID());
}

this should display the ID for tab but displays nothing.
When pressing any other key like enter, shift, etc., I am getting 401.

Please help!
I read a lot of answers about some similar problems, cannot get to an answer.
I think it should be just easy because the tab is working automatically from right to left and getting to each component on my JDialog.
I need to cahnge the tab direction and make sure they cannot get with tab to some of the components.
