Constructors Summary
public JFormattedTextField() Creates a JFormattedTextField with no AbstractFormatterFactory. Use setMask or setFormatterFactory to configure the JFormattedTextField to edit a particular type of value. super(); enableEvents(AWTEvent.FOCUS_EVENT_MASK); setFocusLostBehavior(COMMIT_OR_REVERT);
public JFormattedTextField(Object value) Creates a JFormattedTextField with the specified value. This will create an AbstractFormatterFactory based on the type of value. param value Initial value for the JFormattedTextField this(); setValue(value);
public JFormattedTextField(Format format) Creates a JFormattedTextField. format is wrapped in an appropriate AbstractFormatter which is then wrapped in an AbstractFormatterFactory. param format Format used to look up an AbstractFormatter this(); setFormatterFactory(getDefaultFormatterFactory(format));
public JFormattedTextField(AbstractFormatter formatter) Creates a JFormattedTextField with the specified AbstractFormatter. The AbstractFormatter is placed in an AbstractFormatterFactory. param formatter AbstractFormatter to use for formatting. this(new DefaultFormatterFactory(formatter));
public JFormattedTextField(AbstractFormatterFactory factory) Creates a JFormattedTextField with the specified AbstractFormatterFactory. param factory AbstractFormatterFactory used for formatting. this(); setFormatterFactory(factory);
public JFormattedTextField(AbstractFormatterFactory factory, Object currentValue) Creates a JFormattedTextField with the specified AbstractFormatterFactory and initial value. param factory AbstractFormatterFactory used for formatting. param currentValue Initial value to use this(currentValue); setFormatterFactory(factory);

Methods Summary
public void	commitEdit() Forces the current value to be taken from the AbstractFormatter and set as the current value. This has no effect if there is no current AbstractFormatter installed. throws ParseException if the AbstractFormatter is not able to format the current value AbstractFormatter format = getFormatter(); if (format != null) { setValue(format.stringToValue(getText()), false, true); }
public javax.swing.Action[]	getActions() Fetches the command list for the editor. This is the list of commands supported by the plugged-in UI augmented by the collection of commands that the editor itself supports. These are useful for binding to events, such as in a keymap. return the command list return TextAction.augmentList(super.getActions(), defaultActions);
private javax.swing.JFormattedTextField$AbstractFormatterFactory	getDefaultFormatterFactory(java.lang.Object type) Returns an AbstractFormatterFactory suitable for the passed in Object type. if (type instanceof DateFormat) { return new DefaultFormatterFactory(new DateFormatter ((DateFormat)type)); } if (type instanceof NumberFormat) { return new DefaultFormatterFactory(new NumberFormatter( (NumberFormat)type)); } if (type instanceof Format) { return new DefaultFormatterFactory(new InternationalFormatter( (Format)type)); } if (type instanceof Date) { return new DefaultFormatterFactory(new DateFormatter()); } if (type instanceof Number) { AbstractFormatter displayFormatter = new NumberFormatter(); ((NumberFormatter)displayFormatter).setValueClass(type.getClass()); AbstractFormatter editFormatter = new NumberFormatter( new DecimalFormat("#.#")); ((NumberFormatter)editFormatter).setValueClass(type.getClass()); return new DefaultFormatterFactory(displayFormatter, displayFormatter,editFormatter); } return new DefaultFormatterFactory(new DefaultFormatter());
public int	getFocusLostBehavior() Returns the behavior when focus is lost. This will be one of COMMIT_OR_REVERT, COMMIT, REVERT or PERSIST Note that some AbstractFormatters may push changes as they occur, so that the value of this will have no effect. return returns behavior when focus is lost return focusLostBehavior;
public javax.swing.JFormattedTextField$AbstractFormatter	getFormatter() Returns the AbstractFormatter that is used to format and parse the current value. return AbstractFormatter used for formatting return format;
public javax.swing.JFormattedTextField$AbstractFormatterFactory	getFormatterFactory() Returns the current AbstractFormatterFactory. see #setFormatterFactory return AbstractFormatterFactory used to determine AbstractFormatters return factory;
public java.lang.String	getUIClassID() Gets the class ID for a UI. return the string "FormattedTextFieldUI" see JComponent#getUIClassID return uiClassID;
public java.lang.Object	getValue() Returns the last valid value. Based on the editing policy of the AbstractFormatter this may not return the current value. The currently edited value can be obtained by invoking commitEdit followed by getValue. return Last valid value return value;
protected void	invalidEdit() Invoked when the user inputs an invalid value. This gives the component a chance to provide feedback. The default implementation beeps. UIManager.getLookAndFeel().provideErrorFeedback(JFormattedTextField.this);
public boolean	isEditValid() Returns true if the current value being edited is valid. The value of this is managed by the current AbstractFormatter, as such there is no public setter for it. return true if the current value being edited is valid. return editValid;
private boolean	isEdited() Returns true if the receiver has been edited. return edited;
protected void	processFocusEvent(java.awt.event.FocusEvent e) Processes any focus events, such as FocusEvent.FOCUS_GAINED or FocusEvent.FOCUS_LOST. param e the FocusEvent see FocusEvent super.processFocusEvent(e); // ignore temporary focus event if (e.isTemporary()) { return; } if (isEdited() && e.getID() == FocusEvent.FOCUS_LOST) { InputContext ic = getInputContext(); if (focusLostHandler == null) { focusLostHandler = new FocusLostHandler(); } // if there is a composed text, process it first if ((ic != null) && composedTextExists) { ic.endComposition(); EventQueue.invokeLater(focusLostHandler); } else { focusLostHandler.run(); } } else if (!isEdited()) { // reformat setValue(getValue(), true, true); }
protected void	processInputMethodEvent(java.awt.event.InputMethodEvent e) Processes any input method events, such as InputMethodEvent.INPUT_METHOD_TEXT_CHANGED or InputMethodEvent.CARET_POSITION_CHANGED. param e the InputMethodEvent see InputMethodEvent AttributedCharacterIterator text = e.getText(); int commitCount = e.getCommittedCharacterCount(); // Keep track of the composed text if (text != null) { int begin = text.getBeginIndex(); int end = text.getEndIndex(); composedTextExists = ((end - begin) > commitCount); } else { composedTextExists = false; } super.processInputMethodEvent(e);
public void	setDocument(javax.swing.text.Document doc) Associates the editor with a text document. The currently registered factory is used to build a view for the document, which gets displayed by the editor after revalidation. A PropertyChange event ("document") is propagated to each listener. param doc the document to display/edit see #getDocument beaninfo description: the text document model bound: true expert: true if (documentListener != null && getDocument() != null) { getDocument().removeDocumentListener(documentListener); } super.setDocument(doc); if (documentListener == null) { documentListener = new DocumentHandler(); } doc.addDocumentListener(documentListener);
private void	setEditValid(boolean isValid) Sets the validity of the edit on the receiver. You should not normally invoke this. This will be invoked by the AbstractFormatter as the user edits the value. Not all formatters will allow the component to get into an invalid state, and thus this may never be invoked. Based on the look and feel this may visually change the state of the receiver. param isValid boolean indicating if the currently edited value is valid. beaninfo bound: true attribute: visualUpdate true description: True indicates the edited value is valid if (isValid != editValid) { editValid = isValid; firePropertyChange("editValid", Boolean.valueOf(!isValid), Boolean.valueOf(isValid)); }
private void	setEdited(boolean edited) Sets the edited state of the receiver. this.edited = edited;
public void	setFocusLostBehavior(int behavior) Sets the behavior when focus is lost. This will be one of JFormattedTextField.COMMIT_OR_REVERT, JFormattedTextField.REVERT, JFormattedTextField.COMMIT or JFormattedTextField.PERSIST Note that some AbstractFormatters may push changes as they occur, so that the value of this will have no effect. This will throw an IllegalArgumentException if the object passed in is not one of the afore mentioned values. The default value of this property is JFormattedTextField.COMMIT_OR_REVERT. param behavior Identifies behavior when focus is lost throws IllegalArgumentException if behavior is not one of the known values beaninfo enum: COMMIT JFormattedTextField.COMMIT COMMIT_OR_REVERT JFormattedTextField.COMMIT_OR_REVERT REVERT JFormattedTextField.REVERT PERSIST JFormattedTextField.PERSIST description: Behavior when component loses focus if (behavior != COMMIT && behavior != COMMIT_OR_REVERT && behavior != PERSIST && behavior != REVERT) { throw new IllegalArgumentException("setFocusLostBehavior must be one of: JFormattedTextField.COMMIT, JFormattedTextField.COMMIT_OR_REVERT, JFormattedTextField.PERSIST or JFormattedTextField.REVERT"); } focusLostBehavior = behavior;
protected void	setFormatter(javax.swing.JFormattedTextField$AbstractFormatter format) Sets the current AbstractFormatter. You should not normally invoke this, instead set the AbstractFormatterFactory or set the value. JFormattedTextField will invoke this as the state of the JFormattedTextField changes and requires the value to be reset. JFormattedTextField passes in the AbstractFormatter obtained from the AbstractFormatterFactory. This is a JavaBeans bound property. see #setFormatterFactory param format AbstractFormatter to use for formatting beaninfo bound: true attribute: visualUpdate true description: TextFormatter, responsible for formatting the current value AbstractFormatter oldFormat = this.format; if (oldFormat != null) { oldFormat.uninstall(); } setEditValid(true); this.format = format; if (format != null) { format.install(this); } setEdited(false); firePropertyChange("textFormatter", oldFormat, format);
private void	setFormatterActions(javax.swing.Action[] actions) Resets the Actions that come from the TextFormatter to actions. if (actions == null) { if (textFormatterActionMap != null) { textFormatterActionMap.clear(); } } else { if (textFormatterActionMap == null) { ActionMap map = getActionMap(); textFormatterActionMap = new ActionMap(); while (map != null) { ActionMap parent = map.getParent(); if (parent instanceof UIResource || parent == null) { map.setParent(textFormatterActionMap); textFormatterActionMap.setParent(parent); break; } map = parent; } } for (int counter = actions.length - 1; counter >= 0; counter--) { Object key = actions[counter].getValue(Action.NAME); if (key != null) { textFormatterActionMap.put(key, actions[counter]); } } }
public void	setFormatterFactory(javax.swing.JFormattedTextField$AbstractFormatterFactory tf) Sets the AbstractFormatterFactory. AbstractFormatterFactory is able to return an instance of AbstractFormatter that is used to format a value for display, as well an enforcing an editing policy. If you have not explicitly set an AbstractFormatterFactory by way of this method (or a constructor) an AbstractFormatterFactory and consequently an AbstractFormatter will be used based on the Class of the value. NumberFormatter will be used for Numbers, DateFormatter will be used for Dates, otherwise DefaultFormatter will be used. This is a JavaBeans bound property. param tf AbstractFormatterFactory used to lookup instances of AbstractFormatter beaninfo bound: true attribute: visualUpdate true description: AbstractFormatterFactory, responsible for returning an AbstractFormatter that can format the current value. AbstractFormatterFactory oldFactory = factory; factory = tf; firePropertyChange("formatterFactory", oldFactory, tf); setValue(getValue(), true, false);
public void	setValue(java.lang.Object value) Sets the value that will be formatted by an AbstractFormatter obtained from the current AbstractFormatterFactory. If no AbstractFormatterFactory has been specified, this will attempt to create one based on the type of value. The default value of this property is null. This is a JavaBeans bound property. param value Current value to display beaninfo bound: true attribute: visualUpdate true description: The value to be formatted. if (value != null && getFormatterFactory() == null) { setFormatterFactory(getDefaultFormatterFactory(value)); } setValue(value, true, true);
private void	setValue(java.lang.Object value, boolean createFormat, boolean firePC) Does the setting of the value. If createFormat is true, this will also obtain a new AbstractFormatter from the current factory. The property change event will be fired if firePC is true. Object oldValue = this.value; this.value = value; if (createFormat) { AbstractFormatterFactory factory = getFormatterFactory(); AbstractFormatter atf; if (factory != null) { atf = factory.getFormatter(this); } else { atf = null; } setFormatter(atf); } else { // Assumed to be valid setEditValid(true); } setEdited(false); if (firePC) { firePropertyChange("value", oldValue, value); }
private void	writeObject(java.io.ObjectOutputStream s) s.defaultWriteObject(); if (getUIClassID().equals(uiClassID)) { byte count = JComponent.getWriteObjCounter(this); JComponent.setWriteObjCounter(this, --count); if (count == 0 && ui != null) { ui.installUI(this); } }
