JTextField in JPanel looks too narrow
Hi guys,
Tried JTextField.size(width, height) but didnt make any difference, made sure the JPanel was big enough; how would I go about making the JTextField look wider? (right now it looks like 1px wide)
Also what am I looking for if I want to change focus from one JtextField to the next one when user pressed the Enter key? (there are 5 inputs).
Thanks a ton!!

you can set the number of columns in the constructor
= new JTextField(10); or
= new JTextField("Hello World",10);
you can use the setColumns(..) method
textField.setColumns(10);
if you want to use a size, and the textfield is in a container (with layout manager),
you need to use
textfield.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(int,int));
for the focus with enter key, sample code in this post

look for the 'changes' section and the 'forwardKeys'
