The problem is I need a piece of code that will not allow the user to enter any negative number in the text box

Thanking you in advance

All we can tell you is that when the user submits the input,
take it,
put it in String,
convert it into a number,
check if the number is negative or not

this is a learning process of Java or training, there is no way in hell a person can know everything within few weeks all I ever asked was anybody's help on how to code the textbox that should not at all accept a negative number from the user, neither it should show it when the user enters it on the textbox, it should just hang there, selected until the user comes into her senses and realise the meaning of "Enter a positive number"
Oops!!!!!!
This is what I was looking for, makes sense now hey,
public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event) {
if (event.getKeyChar() == KeyEvent.VK_MINUS) AmountTo_Edit.fireEditingStopped();whether it is possible to validate input in a textfield using core java?

answer is the same as the answer on the question:
is it possible to start a new thread for a new question?
