thanks, you are right there was typo in the prev. post
the actual name in the application was jtfFileCreationNumber

The application is using for the most part if possible 3 letter prefix of
JComponents

I tried to spelled the Component so people what I am talking about but I
goofed.

too bad that I can't have
Runnable runFocus = new Runnable() {
               public void run(JComponents jc) {
                   jc.requestFocus();
               }
           };

and use it in invokeLater

Also any added public method to run would get ignore and not accesible.  I
guess that is java way.

I pretty much do what you do in your example.

Foo foo;
JString  fooName;
JTextField fooField;
JComboBox  fooCombo;
JList<Foo> fooList;

I try to avoid abbreviations. I try to make foo descriptive.

ISO/IEC 11179-5 is relevant.

thank you.

the attribute is actually jtfFileCreationNumber
I am sure it does not meet some govt standard but is good enough for this
private sponsoring customer.
In come organizations I would have to use jtfFileCreatnNbr  instead. from
some root word abbrev standard dictionary

Just a bit curious, some object oriented language they would simply has an
event object/scheduler  you can  call upon to execute a block of statement
after the current event completes.
   event.post {
       // a block of executable statements
    }

But Java would requires us to explicitly  create a runnable. why not the
other way and let the compiler do the work instead of programmer?

fro those arguing for purity of object orientation and packaging, why not
let there a compiler directive/macro type of package and let compiler do the
work?.  less lines programmer code, less debug and maintenance time. cpu
power time is cheap for compiler nowadays

What Knute meant was something along these lines.

BTW.  Is that attribute really called..
'jtextfiledFIleNbr'?

That is not the correct nomenclature for an
attribute name, and has spelling errors besides.

jtextfieldFIleNbr

..corrects the spelling error..

jTextFieldFileNbr

..corrects the capitalisation, but even then
the 'Nbr' should logically be either 'Number'
or (if abbreviated) 'N'

jTextFieldFileNumber

Of course, there are others who will jump in and
suggest that prepending the 'jTextField' part is..
some grievous sin, because ..I forget why, actually
(I've never completely understood that advice, and
those that suggest it never seem to fess up some
suggestions for what to do in peculiar* situations).
