[Manoj Tyagi]

Hi to all,
I am working on JTextField & want that my JTextField should not take more than 1(or any fixed no.) chatacter. How to make this restriction.

You need to create a document. Take a look at the sun tutorial on how to use them. If you don't have any luck post back.

Hi!
You can extend the JTextField and implement the Key Listener interface. In the keyTeyped() method, u can check the length and consume the keystrokes if the length >= 1.
