Listener only for the first click on JTextField-CodePudding

Is there a java event for JTextField do like : if the cursor already was in the JTextField and MousePressed = do nothing if click on the JTextField for the first time = do things I have been used , MousePressed(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) but this not exactly what I want. thank you

CodePudding user response：

You can implement your own custom logic:

Store a "flag" like global boolean variable:
```
boolean alreadyClicked = false
```

Each time you click the JTextField check (and toggle) that variable:

if(!alreadyClicked) {
   alreadyClicked = true;
  // do your work
}

When focusing out from that field toggle variable again to:
```
alreadyClicked = false;
```
