Swing offers an InputVerifier for input verification. You could implement one and add it the JTextField . See InputVerifier docs . The textfield will get verified, as soon as another component requests the focus. You could enable/disable your components of choice in this verification-process. If this is not what you want, have a look at the KeyListener , you could also validate user input within KeyEvents .
