 * This is a JPanel subclass which provides a special functionality
 * for its children buttons components.
 * It makes it possible to transfer focus from button to button
 * with help of arrows keys.
 * <p>The following example shows how to enable cyclic focus transfer 
 * <pre>

 * import javax.swing.*;
 *
 * public class SimpleDemo {

 * If your buttons inside JXButtonPanel are added to one ButtonGroup
