Hey,

I am making a program that scans barcodes.

I want to check if the scanned barcode is valid, so I let it put the scanned code into a textfield. But now I don't know what listener I have to add, so that when the barcode is completely filled in the processing can start. I have tried with a keylistener, but that doesn't work, because the code that has to be executed is done as soon as one char is filled in. What else can I do?

Use a DocumentListener.

i can't use that, because it can only be used when using jTextFields, but I can't use them on the scanner.
