Message:

using getText() and getPassword() methods

Posted by Corina on January 18, 2002 at 5:06 AM

This two methods capture the text in each component, define two variables String name, char[] pass, and then in your actionPerformed add this:

name = tfname.getText();
pass = tfpass.getPassword();

If you look in this direction you have examples:
