Question

I would like to ask how to capitalize first letter entered on textfields? example when entering his last name, the first letter will be capitalized.

I'm using textfields from netbeans.

This can be solved using a DocumentFilter, but would involve a little work on your part. — Hovercraft Full Of Eels, Oct 12 '12 at 06:47

I do not know how a NetBeans textfield is different from any other, I assume it's just a JTextField.

Extend a JTextField with your own class and override the insertString method from the Document, like in the API docs.

Or, you could add a listener to your textfield (actually, the underlying document) an update the String accordingly.
