Hi,
I am trying to develop a GUI application that has a text area for a 10 digit number. I would prefer to right click on the field and select a max length and "number type" instead of coding an 'if function on keypress' and so on. Is this possible?
I looked but didn't find anything, perhaps I'm not looking in the right places...
Thanks,
-Ashton.

lol, no need to insult.. it's just a question - you probably don't know some minor things here and there either... you could've given me a 2 line answer if you knew this instead of making me read a huge document... I know how to make swing applications, I just don't know this one little thing.

All your dreams come true when you click on the component and check the Properties tab (normally on the right).
If by any chance you do not see this panel then from main menu select Window >> Properties or Ctrl+Shift+7

PS: Why do I always have to argue with some big shot before I can get an answer on this website? It would work so much better if we were all willing to listen before talking I think.
Thanks again,
-Ashton.

Have a look at JFormattedTextField in the API, if I understand your requirement properly, this may be the answer.

Hi James,
I was looking for a Netbeans answer in specific, If there is no function like the one I'm looking for then I will move on and look at alternative methods. Thanks for your input.

Am I missing something here? 
However you will not able to set content type like NUMBER, ANY, EMAIL. For that you will need add on library
