FlowLayout does the best it can, and puts the components on top of each other. If the frame is not wide enough, the text field will be truncated.
JTextField
A JTextField
is a Swing component,
so there must be a listener object
for it to be useful to the program.
After entering text, the user hits the enter key.
This generates an ActionEvent
just like
clicking on a button.
The listener needs to get
the text and to do something with it.
Use the
String getText()
To put text into a TextField
use the
setText(String stuff)
What type of listener is needed for an ActionEvent
?
