Class IntegerTextField


  • public class IntegerTextField
    extends java.lang.Object
    TextField for entering integer numbers, either in decimal or hex.

    This field does continuous checking, so you can't enter a bad value.

    Internally, values are maintained using BigIntegers so this field can contain numbers as large as desired. There are convenience methods for getting the value as either an int or long. If using these convenience methods, you should also set the max allowed value so that users can't enter a value larger than can be represented by the getIntValue() or getLongValue() methods as appropriate.

    There are several configuration options as follows:

    • Allows negative numbers - either support all integer numbers or just non-negative numbers. See setAllowNegativeValues(boolean)
    • Allows hex prefix - If this mode is on, then hex mode is turned on and off automatically depending whether or not the text starts with 0x. Otherwise, the hex/decimal mode is set externally (either programmatically or pressing <CTRL> M) and the user is restricted to the numbers/letters appropriate for that mode. See setAllowsHexPrefix(boolean)
    • Have a max value - a max value can be set (must be positive) such that the user can not type a number greater than the max. Otherwise, the number is unlimited. See setMaxValue(BigInteger)
    • Show the number mode as hint text - If on either "Hex" or "Dec" is displayed lightly in the bottom right portion of the text field. See setShowNumberMode(boolean)

                                long initialValue)
        Creates a new IntegerTextField with the specified number of columns and an initial value
        Parameters:
        columns - the number of columns to display in the JTextField.

        Parameters:
        newValue - the new value or null.
      • setShowNumberMode

        public void setShowNumberMode​(boolean show)
        Turns on or off the faded text that displays the field's radix mode (hex or decimal).
        Parameters:
        show - true to show the radix mode.
      • setHexMode

        public void setHexMode()
        Sets the radix mode to Hex.

        If the field is currently in decimal mode, the current text will be change from displaying the current value from decimal to hex.

      • setDecimalMode

        public void setDecimalMode()
        Sets the mode to Decimal.

        If the field is currently in hex mode, the current text will be change from displaying the current value from hex to decimal.

      • setAllowsHexPrefix

        public void setAllowsHexPrefix​(boolean allowsHexPrefix)
        Sets whether on not the field supports the 0x prefix.

        If 0x is supported, hex numbers will be displayed with the 0x prefix. Also, when typing, you must type 0x first to enter a hex number, otherwise it will only allow digits 0-9. If the 0x prefix option is turned off, then hex numbers are displayed without the 0x prefix and you can't change the decimal/hex mode by typing 0x. The field will either be in decimal or hex mode and the typed text will be interpreted appropriately for the mode.

        Parameters:
        allowsHexPrefix - true to use the 0x convention for hex.
