How do I disable JTextField?

To disable JtextField/JTextArea, call the method setEnabled() and pass the value “false” as parameter. JTextField textField = new JTextField(); textField.

How can I tell if JTextField is empty?

Since we created an instance of the TextField class named text, we take text and get its value and use the isEmpty() function to see whether it is empty or not. And this is all that is required to check whether a text field is empty or not in a JavaFX application.

What is the function of JTextField control?

A JTextField subclass that allows you to specify the legal set of characters that the user can enter. See How to Use Formatted Text Fields.


I need to make this program clear the text from the text field when the mouse clicks in that text field. I have tried a few things, but none of them have yet to work for me.

Here is the code in its entirety:

public class TimerClassPanel extends JFrame implements MouseListener{

    public TimerClassPanel(){
        setTitle("Timer Class");
        setSize(WIDTH, HEIGHT);

        timer = new Timer(DELAY, new TimerEventHandler());

        pane = getContentPane();
        pane.setLayout(null);

        int r = (int)(9.0 * Math.random()) + 1;
        String str2 = Integer.toString(r);

        label = new JLabel(str2, SwingConstants.CENTER);
        label.setSize(150,30);
        label.setLocation(0,0);

        textField = new JTextField();
        textField.setSize(150,30);
        textField.setLocation(150,0);

        startB = new JButton("Start");
        startbh = new StartButtonHandler();
        startB.addActionListener(startbh);
        startB.setSize(100,30);
        startB.setLocation(0,30);

        stopB = new JButton("Stop");
        stopbh = new StopButtonHandler();
        stopB.addActionListener(stopbh);
        stopB.setSize(100,30);
        stopB.setLocation(100,30);

        exitB = new JButton("Exit");
        ebHandler = new ExitButtonHandler();
        exitB.addActionListener(ebHandler);
        exitB.setSize(100,30);
        exitB.setLocation(200,30);      

        pane.add(label);

        pane.add(textField);
        pane.add(startB);
        pane.add(stopB);
        pane.add(exitB);

        timer = new Timer(DELAY, new TimerEventHandler());

        setVisible(true);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    }

    private class TimerEventHandler implements ActionListener{
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            int r = (int)(9.0 * Math.random()) + 1;
            String str = Integer.toString(r);
            currentNum = "";
            currentNum = str;
            label.setText(str);
            repaint();
        }
    }

    public class StartButtonHandler implements ActionListener{
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            timer.start();
        }
    }

    public class StopButtonHandler implements ActionListener{
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            timer.stop();
        }
    }

    private class ExitButtonHandler implements ActionListener{
        public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
            System.exit(0);
        }
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
        TimerClassPanel timerPanel = new TimerClassPanel();
        JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Type your guess (int between 1-9)" +
                " in the field then press 'ENTER'");
    }

    @Override
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
        if( e.getX() > 150 && e.getX() < 300 && e.getY() > 0 && e.getY() < 30)
        {   
            textField.setText("");
            repaint();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public void mouseExited(MouseEvent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }
}
