How can I create an uneditable date formatted (00/00/0000) textfield in JAVA, which allows user to type only numbers

Numbers allowed in the first offset - 0-3
Numbers allowed in the second offset - 0-9
"/" in the third offset should not be deleted
Numbers allowed in the fourth offset - 0,1
Numbers allowed in the fifth offset - 0-9
"/" in the sixth offset should not be deleted
Number allowed in the seventh offset - 2
Number allowed in the eighth offset - 0
Number allowed in the ninth offset - 0
Numbers allowed in the tenth offset - 6-9

textfield MUST not allow the user to delete both zero and slash(/)

I'm not sure whether you could do that immediately at the time the users types in the date. This is just a guess. I'm probably be proved wrong yet again :lol:.

However, you could introduce a submit button, which would then parse the input the user has entered and return a success message if the input satisfies your criteria.

Of course you can. Add a KeyListener which rejects all non-numeric formats and inserts the slashes as needed :)
