I'm not sure when KeyRelease would get called.  Remember that for typing
some Kanji characters a user might physically type and release 2 or more
physical keys on the keyboard, and those keys would be combined into 1
Kanji character by an input method.  You want something that is called when
the input method gets done changing the character.  Is KeyRelease the
right place?  Its name would imply that it is not.
 
The below isNonEnglishChar() method is right, sort of, although it would
allow in accented characters in the range of 128-255 which are used in the
European Latin-1 character sets, but not used in English.

remember to do it on a KeyRelease.
Otherwise, the character wouldn't be there to remove if need be.

Hi folks,
 
First, I must thank you for all ur responses.
I have come to a solution which is working so far.
 
I have added a keylistener to my JtextField which is validating each character which is typed or pasted in the textfiled.
I have written following code to check if the character is non english.
 public static boolean isNonEnglishChar(char c)
 {
  int i = (int) c;
  System.out.println("char " +c +" =" + i);
  if( (i<32) || ( i>126))
   return true;
  
  return false;
 }
 
Comments ???

Hi folks,
 
I want my JTextField to accept only english characters and it should reject japanese(or any other language) characters.
Is there any api to do it?  or a sample code which will help ?
 
Thanks,
