Thread: JTextField clearing problem

Hi all,

I am having a little problem with clearing JTextFields from my GUI application. The problem is I created a load of JTextFields in an array (shown below)

int[] txtfieldwidths = { 20, 20, 20, 20 }
for ( int i = 0; i < txtLbls.length; i++ )
		{
			gridbagcons.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE ;
			labelNames = new JLabel( txtLbls[i] );
			formPanel.add( labelNames, gridbagcons );
			gridbagcons.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER ;
			labelTxtFields = new JTextField( txtfieldwidths[i] );
			formPanel.add( labelTxtFields, gbc );
		}

I also have a button with an actionListener attached to it which is supposed to clear the JTextFields (shown below)

 
if ( e.getSource( ) == btnClear )
		{
 
			labelTxtFields.setText("");
 
		}

The problem is when I go and click on the clear button, only the last JTextField is being erased and none of the others above it.

Is there a way I can get all the JTextFields to clear?

Hope you can help me!

Your reference to labelTxtFields is set the last instantiated JTextField in the loop, so clearing that alone will only clear the last JTextField. To clear them all, you could keep an array holding ALL the JTextFields you created, and loop through that array clearing each.
