Hi,

I have a TextField box with some default text inside. How can I make it like those HTML forms which when user click the textbox, the default text will be switch become empty string?

TIA

JTextField has its own ActionEvent s and handlers. As a JComponent it also has KeyEvent(s) and MouseEvent(s). From one or more of these events you can fashion the behavior you say you want.

Any example? I tried ActionEvent evt and e.getSource() method and it doesn't seems to recgonised..

The "action events" listened for by an action listener would be a button press or other such action on a component. Since you are looking to respond to a user's mouse click, why not listen for a mouse event?

you're looking to listen for a mousePressed event
