Copying a text value from a textbox to a label

[Weeman5872]

I have a frame with a textbox (txtInput) and a label (lblModifiedText). Currently, I have an event (keyPressed) assigned to the textbox; this is so when I type anything in the text box, it is copied to the label. However, I find the label is always one character behind. For example:

txtInput: 123
lblModifiedText: 12

Then, if I press backspace, I get the following:

txtInput: 12
lblModifiedText: 123

Backspace again:

txtInput: 1
lblModifiedText: 12

I'm using the following code at the moment:

        String inputText = txtInput.getText();
        
        if (rdoNoChange.isSelected() == true) {
            lblModifiedText.setText(inputText);
        } else if (rdoUpperCase.isSelected() == true) {
            lblModifiedText.setText(inputText.toUpperCase());
        } else if (rdoLowerCase.isSelected() == true) {
            lblModifiedText.setText(inputText.toLowerCase());
        }

Any help would be appreciated, many thanks. :)

Try the keyReleased(KeyEvent e) method instead of the keyPressed method !

I could have sworn I used keyReleased the first time; which is why I went to keyPressed. It works fine now, thanks muchly!

You shouldn't be using key listeners at all here. What happens if someone copies and pastes text into the JTextField? Or deletes text? Rather you should use a DocumentListener.
