Is it possible to enable all the text fields at once in Java Swing?

Question

I have multiple text fields which I need to enabled or disabled at once using Java Swing. Is that possible?

Answer 1

If all the JTextFields are on a single container, you could do :

for (Component c : container.getComponents()) {
   if (c instanceof JTextField) {
      c.setEnabled(false);
   }
}

Answer 2

if you put them all in a linked list / array list you could have a method to loop though it and enable / disable. This is probably the easiest way
