Jpassword problem

[Nick15]

I'm using JPassword and KeyReleased event, when a key is pressed as "ctrl" and in the event I ask with getPassword for the first digit of the password, ctrl does not generate a character, it generates an exception java.lang. ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException.

I tried with the following instruction to avoid the exception and worked out, but in the temp var (that is char type) didn't save anything

try
{   
        temp=Password.getPassword()[n];
}
catch (ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException e){}

How can I avoid the exception ?
what do I save in temp when I press ctrl ó Alt??
How can I ask if temp var is null?

Thanks you

Maybe, it would be better obtain the key entered from keyevent parameter that received the listener

To avoid the exception ArrayIndexOutOfBounds you could use the attribute .length of the array
if (Password.getPassword().length ..... )
