Accept only Double Values in a JTextField using DocumentFilter

Question

Is there any way to accept only double values in a JTextField using documentfilter?

I'm a little confused at what you mean. Do you mean they could enter any number? Thats just a sequence of digits with one optional dot and an optional plus or minus on the front. Or is there more you want? — Lee Meador, Mar 07 '13 at 20:14

You will want to use a DocumentFilter

This will allow you to "filter" the incoming content before it reaches the document.

Check out these examples for more ideas

You could also try look at a JFormattedTxtField which would probably be easier, but where's the fun in that
