Creating a selective InputVerifier

**oinca** · 08-08-2011, 02:31 AM

Hi, i´ve been struggling with a piece of code on wich i have a JFormattedTextField with an InputVerifier set in. The case is this...as long as the JPanel, on wich this TextField is placed in, is active the InputVerifier should verify the input :)...however if the user select a JMenu placed in the JMenuBar this InputVerifier should be deactivated...avoiding to launch an OptionDialog. Below is the InputVerifier´s code. Any ideas?. Thank you.

Java Code:

private InputVerifier verifier_leg = new InputVerifier() {
		
		@Override
		public boolean verify(JComponent input) {
			Boolean aux = !txt.getText().isEmpty();
			if (!(aux)){ 
				getToolkit().beep();
				txt.selectAll();
				JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null, "El Numero de legajo ingresado no se encuentra en el registro", "Error", JOptionPane.PLAIN_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
			}
			return aux;
		}
	};

PS: I´ve tried to reset the TextField´s InputVerfier to null, to overried the shouldYieldFocus(), to disable everything (JPanel, TextField, etc)...please anyone...HELP!

You can try this when you create your menus:

Java Code:

menu.setVerifyInputWhenFocusTarget( false );
