clearing/reseting text fields in GUI

[reis3k]

Hi All!

I have some text field filed in when an item in the list field is selected:

 private void jList1ValueChanged(javax.swing.event.ListSelectionEvent evt) {                                    

        String fileName = new Filename(jList1.getSelectedValue().toString(),'\\', '.').filenamext();

        SearchFiles searchfiles = new SearchFiles();
        try {
            searchfiles.SearchIndex(fileName);
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(EBookView.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }

        jTextField1.setText(jList1.getSelectedValue().toString());
        jTextField2.setText(searchfiles.title);
        jTextField3.setText(searchfiles.author);
        jTextField4.setText(searchfiles.comments);
        jTextField5.setText(searchfiles.keywords);
        jTextField6.setText(searchfiles.description);
}

When i select one item from list field 6 text fields are getting full with some text. Afterward, when I select another item from list field, onlt the first field is getting updated but the rest stay with older values.

I tried to add jTextField2.setText(""); to the begining to reset but didn't work. What can i do?

If you post runnable code it would be easier to help you. Have you tried JComponent.revalidate() on the parent component?
