identify that event is generated by a Swing JTextField or JTextArea

[25884]

Hi,

I need to check if the event object I get has been generated by a JTextField or JTextArea.

How Can I check this?

Thanks.

You don't specify which event object you mean. However, all events which derive from java.awt.event.ComponentEvent have a getComponent() method which returns the java.awt.Component instance of the originating component.

This could have been easily discovered by using the Java API Docs which are freely available from Sun. If you are writing anything more than a trivial application in Java I recommend you obtain this and become familiar with its use.

It it's an EventObject, you have a getSource method.
