Im pretty new to java and I have created a couple simple programs... and I was just wandering how exactly to use textFields and textAreas. I have created a textfield before, but I need a simple textField that works like the windows prompt. I just want a textField that will prompt the user for certain data and then return data. I already have the program, I just need to find out how to make it execute in a textField.
Thanks for any help....

I don't think you want JTextFields. Look up JOptionPanes. They give you many options to get input from the user via an input box.

is there anything else that would be like the command prompt, but just a text box instead? I need something that takes more than 3 or 4 strings from the user, and the JOptionPane doesnt seem to work well with it.
