er... selectAll() should do it (the code below works just find for
me). What JDK are you using?
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class test extends JPanel
{
public static void main( String[] args )
{
JFrame f = new JFrame( "Test" );
f.setContentPane( new test() );
f.setBounds( 100, 100, 100, 100 );
f.show();
}
public test()
{
final JTextField a = new JTextField("this is a test");
add( a );
JButton b;
add(b= new JButton("Select") );
b.setRequestFocusEnabled(false);
b.addActionListener( new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent ev )
{
a.selectAll();
}
} );
}
}
