Disable KeyEvent

Hi,
In texfield , it should limit the value to take upto 1000. If it is type more than 1000 then key event should not take place on textfield

Thanks in adv

Try to use JFormattedTextField.

Yes, using JFormattedTextField can be one option.

Here is another option, that may be more suitable to your purpose.

you should exted javax.swing.text.PlainDocument to crate your own custom document class and then override its

 public void insertString(int offset, String string, AttributeSet attributeSet) throws BadLocationException 

method.

If you want to know how to use this feature in detail see the Javadoc for JTextField. It has an example on how to limit a textfield to only uppercase letter. I hope you derive your own version from it.

Thanks Serghei Jelauc & Pritam. Both are good solutions but Serghei's solution is simple to implement.
