The constructor for instances of the JTextField
class specifies
an initial string and the number of columns associated with the text field.
For example, the following statement creates a 20-column text field,
initialized to display a one character string, "0"
, and assigned to
a JTextField
variable, field1
:
field1 = new JTextField("0", 20);
Then, when the following add
statement appears inside the constructor for
a panel, the initial string, "0"
, is displayed in a text field at a
place dictated by the panel's layout manager:
add(field1);
