How to make editable a disabled TextField in JavaFX [duplicate] - java

How to setEnabled() in javafx-8?

I'm working with JavaFX. I have a disabled TextField.
private TextField numberField;
How can I make the TextField enable/editable?
I have used:
numberField.setVisible(true);
But it's not working.


You can use
numberField.setEditable(true)
numberField.setDisable(false)
setEditable(true) will actually make numberField edible and setDisable(false) will make sure numberField is not greyed out.
As the name suggests, setVisible(boolean) will only make the object visible/invisible.


setVisible(boolean) is used to change visible property but for your case you need those two:
numberField.setEditable(true);
numberField.setDisable(false);

What I'm trying to do.
I'm basically trying to add a search bar to my program, made out of a JTextArea.
What I would like to do, is add an "example" into the search bar (greyed out text, which disapears when the JTextArea is activated). I've attempted this by changing the text colour, and adding a mouseListener to setText("");. However, this means that every time I click on the bar, it empties, which isn't something I want. (Say I typed in a really long string and had to retype it because it was 1 character wrong).
JTextField searchBar = new JTextField("Search...");
searchBar.setForeground("Color.GRAY");
searchBar.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() {
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
searchBar.setForeground(Color.BLACK);
searchBar.setText("");
}
}
What I'd like to know
How can I make it so that, each time the frame is repainted, the search bar will display search... in grey, until clicked, after which it remains persistent.
I hope it's clear why I'm trying to do, any help is appreciated.
Thanks.

So i am a beginner programmer and
what I'm trying to do is to get specific button's text by knowing its fx:id
Is it possible?
For example if button fx:id = "buttonOne" and text = "X"
how can I get X?

You can define your button in controller (fx:id should be equals name of the field):
#FXML
Button buttonOne;
And just use getText():
buttonOne.getText();

For most shortcuts, I add the action to the toplevel JMenu and provide the shortcut to the JMenuItem using setAccelerator(..). How do I make a global shortcut for an action without adding it to the menu?

This question already has an answer here, but I had trouble finding it because I was asking it differently.
As pointed out there, look for getInputMap / getActionMap in the Java keybindings tutorial.
I'll finish writing the question and mark it as a duplicate in case it helps to find it.

You should use a DocumentFilter (thanks MadProgrammer) instead of a KeyListener. The former is more reliable and easier to deal with.
Also instead of a JTextField you should use a JComboBox instead to show a drop down after the user begins typing.
Now I will not put the effort into creating some code for you since you did not show effort in asking the question.

I have taken one JFrame in which we have shown the information about our firm
there is one information(label) like:
website: www.samteksystems.com
I want that whenever I click on www.samteksystems.com it should display that website.
Please help me in this.

You can add a mouseListener to the label, and in the mouseReleased() method, you could use Desktop.browse() to visit the URL.
