JFormattedTextField display commas and accept decimal points












0















I am using to JFormattedTextField for inputting numbers with decimal points. The following is the formatter.



public static AbstractFormatterFactory createFormatter() {
final NumberFormat format = NumberFormat.getInstance();
final InternationalFormatter formatter = new InternationalFormatter(format);
formatter.setValueClass(Double.class);
formatter.setAllowsInvalid(false);
formatter.setOverwriteMode(true);
formatter.setCommitsOnValidEdit(true);
return new DefaultFormatterFactory(formatter, formatter, formatter);
}


With setAllowsInvalid(false) periods are ignored, but commas are added every 3 digits as desired. With setAllowsInvalid(true) periods are accepted, but commas are not displayed until the focus changes.



Is there a way to have both behaviors?

  • I have, but what are you suggesting the extended class do/override?

  • Yes, you can override that method and create logic similar in order to support both..

  • What is the method you are referring to? The check on allow invalid is within the formatter and uses a private variable.

I believe that JFormattedTextField is made to format differently when editing versus displaying and that was the root of my problem. I have found a very good, if not old, article on using JFormattedTextField that puts everything together nicely. http://www.drdobbs.com/jvm/java-better-interfaces-via-jformattedtex/224700979
