JavaFX 2.2 TextField maxlength

Question

I am working with a JavaFX 2.2 project and I have a problem using the TextField control. I want to limit the characters that users will enter to each TextField but I can\'t

Answer 1

I have this bit of code that only allows numbers and limits the input length on a text field in Javafx.

// Event handler for inputPrice
     inputPrice.setOnAction(event2 -> {

            // Obtain input as a String from text field
            String inputPriceStr = inputPrice.getText();

            // Get length of the String to compare with max length
            int length = inputPrice.getText().length();

            final int MAX = 10; // limit number of characters

            // Validate user input allowing only numbers and limit input size
            if (inputPriceStr.matches("[0-9]*") && length < MAX ) {

                 // your code here
             }});
