Hi,
I wnat to create a JTextField that accepts 0-9 only. I tried the following code,

it worked, but jTextField.selectAll() and jTextField.setText("String") stopped working. I can't seem to figure out the reason. Can someone please help?
Thanks a lot!

You should implement a Document that only accepts numeric values,
by subclassing the javax.swing.text.PlainDocument class and overriding the insertString method there. Then add this Document to the JTextField using the setDocument method.
 
With a little knowledge, a cast iron skillet is non-stick and lasts a lifetime.
