Hello,
I have a question about the Reflection api. I want to set all the textfield from my panel to "". I want to use for that the reflection api.
I take all the fields of my panel and check if that is a JTextField. But how can i access to the objects JTextField to call the function setText("") from JTextField?

Thanks
Francois

Call instanceof for each field and for each field (I presume you are representing them as java.lang.Objects) that is a JTextField, cast to a JTextField and call the method in the standard way. Pseudo code:


Object[] theFields = panel.getFields();
//getFields() is pseudocode

for (int i = 0; i{
  if (theFields[i] instanceof JTextField)
    ((JTextField)theFields[i]).setText("");
}
