Restricting the TextField To accept only a set no of characters

[Sriram Sankar]

when i am going to enter some text inside the TextField ,the TextField should restrict me typing more than a particular no of
characters like ,it should not allow me to enter more than 10
characters,If u r getting any code for that plz let me know

To limit the number of characters in an AWT TextField, you need to attach a keyboard listener and count.

hi srinivas
by using subString in keyRelased u can ristrict allowing charecters.u get the text from the textfield then use if condition if its more than substring the text
i think so

hi,
jTextField1.addKeyListener(new java.awt.event.KeyAdapter() {
public void keyPressed(KeyEvent ke) {
Object source = ke.getSource();

System.out.println("Code of key pressed:"+ke.getKeyCode());
if(source == jTextField1 )
{

if(ke.getKeyCode() == 10)
{
System.out.println("Enter key pressed");

}
//like this by finding key codes corresponding to the key you
want to restrict and then by giving if conditions you can do this.
}
}
);
