JTextField

Jul 25th, 2003

Hi..I've been searching all around to find out whether I could submit an entry in a JTextField by clicking a separate button created (say, a "submit" button).
It seems that, the value entered in the text field will only be appended if I press the Enter key. Can someone please help? Thx!

A combination of events can be used for the same listener; listening to i.e. when a certain key is pressed by adding a KeyAdapter's KeyEvent, and listening to when a certain button is being pressed by using the ActionListener's ActionEvent.

So if i.e. a "ok" button should do something one could write a listener class that do the following:

 Java Syntax (Toggle Plain Text) 
Class OkListener extends KeyAdapter implements ActionListener {
 
   public void keyTyped(KeyEvent ke) {
      // Code for what happens to the JTextField when a certain key is be pressed...
   }
 
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
      // Code for what happens to the JTextField when a button is clicked on...
   }
 
}
Class OkListener extends KeyAdapter implements ActionListener {

   public void keyTyped(KeyEvent ke) {
      // Code for what happens to the JTextField when a certain key is be pressed...
   }

   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
      // Code for what happens to the JTextField when a button is clicked on...
   }

}
