I'm not quite sure what you meant with your first question, but to make it read-only, use .isEditable(false) on your JTextField.
If you wanted to fix the size of the field, look at the constructors in the API, just add a number to the end, eg JTextField("",10); I think thats how it works
I'm not sure about getting it to just accept letters, Perhaps if you have a submit button, you could get this to allow/disallow certain input in the JTextField. [ May 12, 2006: Message edited by: colin shuker ]
I have added a KeyListener to my JTextField and told the key listener to not accept anything that's a number. If they type a number, it beeps and deletes the number.

Does this work if you copy or cut some text (^C or ^X) and then paste (^V) it into your text field?
I agree. Here's the link: http://ej-technologies/jprofiler - if it wasn't for jprofiler, we would need to
run our stuff on 16 servers instead of 3.
