having trouble with JTextField selectAll method
I'm attempting to use the selectAll() method of javax.swing.JTextField. I was expecting to see all the text in the JTextField on my GUI screen displayed as if I had double-clicked the field from the GUI (the default white text on a blue background). Instead I see no apparent change to the GUI display.
- What don't I understand?
- How do I do what I'm trying to do?

Re: having trouble with JTextField selectAll method
By "the default white text on a blue background" do you mean a window's title bar?
With some desktop managers double clicking the title bar changes the window's size, but this has nothing to do with selectAll(). (Or Java, really.) selectAll() causes all of the text in the field to become selected: visually it is shown with a background colour, and can be copied, deleted etc.

Do you mean the selectAll method inherited from JTextComponent?Originally Posted by Daddyspike
Did you use it correctly? Are you sure the code block containing the statement is being called?
Post the code you have problems with. Its hard to offer much help without something to look at
