How can I clear the text in the input field after the user submits the message.
Im working on something similar to a chat. I’ve gotten to the point where when the user submits the message it gets sent but the message typed remains in the textbox, how can i make it automatically clear.
This is a part of my code, not sure if its enough.
private JTextField in;
public AESGUI() {
JLabel info = new JLabel("Message");
in = new JTextField(40);
Have a look at the JTextField API as well as its parent class, JTextComponent, where you’ll find the method you need: setText(“”). Just call it in the code that responds to “Enter”, possibly an ActionListener that has been added to the JTextField.
