Swing/AWT/SWT :: Inputting One Letter Into JTextField
Mar 9, 2014
I'm writing a java program in eclipse of a tic-tac-toe game. I have to create it using JTextField's only I'm having trouble where the JTextField will only accept one letter and will only accept X and O is there any particular way to do this I started off with this piece of code
String text=tf1.getText();
if(text.length()>1) {
System.out.println("this is not allowed");
tf1.setText("");
But it doesn't work so is there something I'm missing....

I have a problem with functions connected to strings.
I have a random String, e.g. "Hello World!" and I have to change every capital Letter into a small letter and vise versa. This alone would be fairly simple, but I have to do it with two other strings.
lowercase= "abcde...z" and
uppercase="ABCDE...Z". Every small letter stands at the very same position as the capital letter, but in the other string.
There should be a letter for letter search in lowercase and uppercase for the letters of "Hello World".
How I could solve the task, however I need a way to search the first string, here "Hello World", according to position. A statement which does: "Give me the letter of position x". This found letter should be able to be stored in a variable or else be able to be used by another statement. And it should be compatible with a for lope.

Example : I have code and name but my code must start with the first letter of the inputed name if the 2 input is match it will be inserted into database
code = "A"001
name ="Angela"
= success this will inserted into database
else
code ="B"002
name="Angela"
=failed this will not inserted into database
else
code="A"003
name="Andy"
=success still accepts the input cause they have diff code number
What I am thinking on this was compare the code the name? if == it will be inserted but how do i get the 1st letter of the input name?

I have been reading several suggested solutions for implementing autocomplete for a JTextField. However, the documentation is a bit confusing to me. It seems like they mostly require switching to a JComboBox. Can I or can I not continue to use a JTextField and implement an autocomplete feature? I also saw what I thought was a built-in autocomplete "decorator" for swing objects (although it was not clear if it can be used for JTextField) but most of the implementations seem to start from scratch. Any simplest way to implement this (assuming those 2 conditions are not mutually exclusive)?

I am trying to get the data entered in a JTextField into a JTable but not clear on how. The LeftPanel is where the button is located and the RightPanel is where the JTable is. I want the actionPerformed to update the row of the JTable but I can't figure out how. There is another class that controls the GUI but did not think it was necessary to include. Also, I am aware that I am getting an error at the addRow line, can't seem to alleviate it.
public class LeftPanel extends JPanel {
private static final long serialVersionUID = -2311952438693382407L;
private RightPanel rPanel;
public LeftPanel(){
Dimension size = getPreferredSize();
size.width = 250;
setPreferredSize(size);
[code]....

I'm having a hard time finding out the way to make JTextField editable. In what circumstances it can be disabled to write? [even the text in the field can't be selected, not to mention being uneditable. I did the followings to make it editable.
1. In its Properties panel(frame or whatever), checked the "editable" item.
2. In the code I made it run the code below :
void makeFieldsEditable(Boolean flag) {
Left_Name_field.setEditable(flag);
Left_Name_field.setEnabled(flag);
...
}
Is it related with the properties of the control(JTextField)'s surrounding panel, or even the largest containing frame? Using Netbeans ....

I want the text that the user inputs into the JTextField in the user input panel to be what shows up in the JTextField in the totals panel.

I know that I will need to take advantage of the get and set methods, could I get an example of this? How to write the code.

I recently began writing a much larger program than I will show. I have boiled the problem down to this SSCCE.
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JRadioButton;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
class TextButton extends JRadioButton
[Code] ....
What i wanted was a JRadioButton with no label carrying around a JTextField. When I added a restore configuration feature in the real program, i found that the text destined for the JTextField was being echoed into the JRadioButton.
Perhaps it is obvious but i sure don't see what I am doing wrong. I am using Java 1.7.0 for development if that makes a difference.

I want to have JTextField automatically highlighting the current values for overwriting when the box is selected. Is there a way to do this? It seems like something that might occur in an action listener.

I need to take the value of what's typed in my JTextField, and once the submit button is clicked, I want to add that string to my JComboBox list items.
Depending which RadioButton they selected, I need to put the team in HOME or AWAY teams, and so on and so on, until they continue clicking submit.

I want to create 3 JTextFields in a row with all being of equal size.But my first Text field gets so wide than the other two.After adding each component at a time and seeing what causes the problem I realized that if I type a long text for the JLabel that's when this problem occurs.If I reduce the length of the text in the JLabel JTextFields get into the sizes I want. Here's my code
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.lang.Math;
public class Calculator1 extends JFrame {
JTextField value1=new JTextField("0");
JTextField value2=new JTextField("0");
[Code] ....
How can I stop the JTextFields changing size when I change the JLabel label1's text length...

I am designing a advanced search option in a java project with sqlite in NetBeans. there are 5 different JTextfields and 5 columns, I want to populate JTable with corresponding matching criteria. If a JTextfield is empty then it should select all items of that column.
query i was using is:
String val1=txt_billing2.getText(); //five input fields
String val2=txt_station2.getText();
String val3=txt_invoice2.getText();
String val4=txt_amonth2.getText();
String val5=txt_umonth2.getText();
[code]....
but when i leave a JTextfield empty it shows no data in JTable. only method i know is to use if else conditions but that generates 5!= 120 conditions!!!

Using the code from the Java Docs (listed below) I am getting behavior that was a bit unexpected. The only changes were to add JTextField and additional output within the ComponentEvent handlers. Run the code and when the frame appears, think of each side as North, South, East (right side) and West (left side) as you are looking at it. This was run using JDK 1.7.0_25.
Run the code.
1 - Click the East edge (right) of the frame and drag to be wider or more narrow. Only the "Resized" is executed for all components which makes sense.
2 - Click the West edge (left) of the frame and drag to be wider or more narrow. This time "Resized" is executed for all components EXCEPT it is "Moved" for JFrame. Why is it "Moved" here for JFrame but not in Step 1?
3 - Click the South edge (bottom) of the frame and drag to be taller or shorter. This time only 2 components are affected. JPanel is "Moved" while JFrame is "Resized".Why isn't both JFrame and JPanel just "Resized"?
4 - Click the North edge (top) of the frame and drag to be taller or shorter. This time only 2 components are affected again but the output is slightly different. JPanel is "Moved" while JFrame is BOTH "Resized" and "Moved".
There just doesn't seem to be consistency here. What are the guidelines or criteria for when these Events are to be executed?
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ComponentEventDemo extends JPanel
implements ComponentListener,
ItemListener {

This is a part of my program. When the user enters "Exam Schedule" in the JtextField and clicks the add button I want the link to change to a link that opens a local pdf file. And if the user enters "Academic Calendar" the Jlabel will be set to another link. So far this works fine but the problem is that if you erase the textfield and enter another value the link of the previous value will still be there.
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e){
if (e.getSource ==add) {
if (text.getText().equalsIgnoreCase("Exam Schedule")){
link1.setText(text.getText());
link1.setCursor(Cursor.getPredefinedCursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR));

I have a swing jFrame set up with a control group which contains 3 radio buttons.
When one is clicked it sends its label to a jtextfield in a different class i have code parsing text by a term
Java Code:
Scanner s = null;
try {
s = new Scanner(new BufferedReader(new FileReader("/Stage_One.txt")));
s.useDelimiter("*");
String total = (s.next());
Pattern p = Pattern.compile("[]+");

I just need to know how to access the jframe variables (textfields, panels and such) so i can use their inputs in code to filter a text file.

I'm new to java and up until now whenever I have created an object it has been via the BlueJ interface. I would make an object manually and then manipulate it with my methods.
I have made a basic program which adds objects into arraylists via the BlueJ interface. However I now need to prompt a user to enter a string which should create the specific object and add to its ArrayList.
Is there a way to create objects without manual specifying the parameters? I can provide some of my code if it is needed I am trying to make a crude version of Plant vs Zombies for an assignment.
I am aware of the scanner class but I only know how to prompt a user but I feel like if I can figure a way to create the objects I can dynamically I can associate the string inputs to the proper arraylists.

IDE: BlueJ
I'm creating a small program to count the number of mouse clicks the user is inputting into a BlankArea for a school assignment. I just finished with making the program look nice and all so I was putting in a MouseListener to detect the clicks. However, when I tried adding a MouseListener to the code, the error in the title appeared.
Java Code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class CountClick
{
JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
[Code] ....
Here's what's going on:
Compiling causes error as described in Title Java Code: createAndShowGUI() mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
cannot be referenced from a static context appears Java Code: public static void main(String [] args) mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
It contains the thread safe and program previously launched without mouse functionality(program appeared when there were no MouseListener components and thread safe had all static method stuff).

I have a textField in which I have text in. The text is enter customer name. I would like for this text to disappear whenever the user clicks on the textField to enter a customer name. I am using the automated swing gui builder in NetBeans. Is their some sort of feature for this under properties of the text field? If not then what are my other options?
