HI

I have a form with about 20 textfields on it.
I;d like to highlight the jlabel associated with the jtextfield that is in focus. That is easy enough to do,
what I am wondering is if there is a way to do this for each JTEXTFIELD/JLABEL without writing 20 different
focusevent actions.

I know for the Jbutton you can extract which button
was pressed. Is there something similar for JTextfields?

thanks.
 
If you look at the javadocs for FocusListener and then compare your FL to the ActionListener, where you used one AL for multiple button, you should be able to transfer your knowledge from AL to FL.

If not, you could at least improve your question.
