Updating a JLabel when a JTextField get written, which event should I use?

Question

I want a label to show the same as the text field has. Using KeyTyped falls behind one key stroke every time, while using KeyPressed does quite similar.

ActionPerformed does nothing until I hit enter.

private void myTextFieldKeyPressed(java.awt.event.KeyEvent evt) {
        cicloLabel.setText(myTextField.getText()+" horas apagado.");
    }

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance

You can use DocumentListener here and call setText on your label.
