I am trying once again to work with JFormattedTextField and
MaskFormatter. (JDK 1.4)
JTextField components use insert mode, so I wanted to use insert
mode for my JFormattedTextFields. Insert mode doesn't seem to work.
I can enter data only if I highlight at least one character of the
existing text and even then I can type at most 1 character. This
is true even if the length of the text in the JFormattedTextField
is less than the maximum length. The only way I have been able to
insert multiple characters is to use cut&paste, which is no different
than being in overstrike mode.
I suspect that the problem is tied to the MaskFormatter imposing
a maximum text size. Since placeholder characters are used when the
value is shorter than the maximum allowed length, the formatter
always thinks that the next character typed is going to exceed the
allowed length and refuses the edit.
Am I missing something obvious? Has anyone had success with
JFormattedTextField + MaskFormatter in insert mode?
