Description
The following code shows how to extend JTextField to create integer JTextField.
Example
import java.awt.Toolkit;
/*from w w w . j av a 2 s .c om*/
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.text.AttributeSet;
import javax.swing.text.BadLocationException;
import javax.swing.text.Document;
import javax.swing.text.PlainDocument;
public class Main {
public static void main(String[] argv) {
IntegerField tf = new IntegerField();
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLayout(new java.awt.GridLayout(0, 1));
frame.add(tf);
frame.setSize(150, 150);
frame.setVisible(true);
tf.requestFocus();
}
}
