Clean multiple JTextField

I was wondering about how to clean multiple JTextField in a Java applicatio, without setting the text with an empty string for each field. Any suggestions?

Solution

  • Why would you want to do it differently? I guess you could do it by getDocument().remove(0, length) or by setting a fresh document model, but both alternatives are worse than .setText("")

    If you want some "global" clear-button (similar to an HTML <input type=reset />) the answer is that it's not possible in Java. You have to store the components in a collection somehow, and loop them through and clear each component one by one.
