Text field actionlistener

[jeremytaffy]

Is it possible to add an action listener to a text field? for example, i want to be able to type in the text field and hit "enter" and have it do something with the text field entry. i am trying to avoid making a jbutton that will clutter up my gui.

thanks ahead

you can implement a KeyListener:

class blah implements KeyListener

add it to your textbox

textBox.addKeyListener(this);

and these methods to your (or another) class

public void keyTyped(KeyEvent event) {
}

public void keyPressed(KeyEvent event) {
	if (event.getKeyCode() == KeyEvent.VK_ENTER || event.getKeyChar() == '\n') {
		//do whatever you want here
	}
}

public void keyReleased(KeyEvent event) {
}
