Making input

MRMadhav · 06-02-2006, 06:43 AM

Hi, I wanted to have a JTextField(or anything similar) to control the way the user inputs. For example i want to have a JTextField for entering date to display with the slashes and when the user types he cannot remove the slash but can freely modify the contents entered. I have seen somnething like this called Input-Masks in Access or VB6, am not sure which one, but the functionality that this provides will be very helpful! Any help will be greatly appreciated!

To control the input format you can use JFormattedTextField which support the date format. You can extend it to suit your needs :
