Creating TextField through loops

[dhaywood]

Is there any way to create TextField through a loop ie

int i = 1;
String code = "Code" + 1;
JTextField code = new JTextField;

so if this was in a loop each time around the loop i would increase and you would get a TextField box called code1 code2 code3 ect...

Is there any way to do this.

Thanks

This would be one way to do what you suggest :

int numberOfFields = 6;
JTextField[] tfs = new JTextField[numberOfFields];

for (int j = 0; j < tfs.length; j++) {
  tfs[j] = new JTextField();
}

The compiler would barf if you attempted the way you sugeested, as "code" would be seen as a String object, not a JTextField object name.

That seems to be a pretty good way of doing it, thanks I will give it a go but I am sure it will work. Thanks Again

The "barf" as you put it did happen, if I was to use the code you suggested, would I be able to use getText() to grab the text out of the textfield created.

Would it be tfs[1].getText() or something else.

Thanks

tfs[1].getText() - thats the way !
