Amniotic fluid surrounds the baby during pregnancy. Amniocentesis is the removal of a small amount of this fluid for testing.
Copyright © Nucleus Medical Media, Inc.
Reasons for Procedure
Reasons for Procedure
Amniocentesis is most often done to see if there is an abnormality in your baby's genes (DNA). It can also be done to see if your baby is developing correctly. Later in pregnancy, it can be done to determine the maturity of your baby's lungs.
Factors that indicate that you may need this procedure include:
- Age: over 35 years at the time of delivery
- Family history of chromosome abnormality
- Family history of inherited disorder
- Family history of neural tube defect—problems in spine and brain growth, such as spina bifida or anencephaly
- Abnormal results from early screening tests for chromosomal abnormalities
Depending on your risk factors, cells in the amniotic fluid are tested for:
- Chromosome abnormalities. The results are usually ready within 14 days. Missing or extra chromosomes lead to physical birth defects and intellectual disability. Down's syndrome is one example.
Inherited genetic diseases—Test results are usually ready in 1-5 weeks. Examples include:
- Tay-Sachs disease—Most frequent in the Ashkenazi Jewish population.
- Cystic fibrosis—Most frequent in Caucasians of northern European ancestry.
- Sickle cell disease—Most frequent in the Black race.
Amniocentesis may also be done:
- In high-risk pregnancies that may require early delivery
- There is concern for Rh-sensitization pregnancy
Possible Complications
Possible Complications
Problems from the procedure are rare, but all procedures have some risk. Your doctor will review potential problems, like:
- Bleeding, cramping, and leaking fluid from the vagina
- Infection
- Mixing of blood if you and your baby have different blood types
- Need for repeat testing
- Harm to the fetus by the needle—Rare
- Miscarriage—Rare
Factors that may increase your risk of complications include:
- Maternal obesity
- Previous abdominal surgery
Be sure to discuss these risks with your doctor before the procedure.
What to Expect
What to Expect
You may be given a local anesthesia. This numbs a small area in the abdomen where the needle will be placed.
Description of the Procedure
First, an ultrasound will be done. This will help to choose a safe spot to insert the needle. Your abdomen will be cleaned. Next, a very thin needle will be inserted through your abdomen into your uterus. A few teaspoons of amniotic fluid will be removed. After the needle is removed, the doctor will make sure that your baby's heartbeat is normal. In most cases, an ultrasound will be used throughout the procedure.
How Long Will It Take?
About 45 minutes
Will It Hurt?
You may feel cramping when the needle enters your abdomen. You may also feel pressure when the fluid is withdrawn.
Post-procedure Care
A test showing a healthy baby is ideal, but you will need to be prepared if the results show otherwise. If the test shows that your baby may have a genetic disorder, you may need to make tough decisions regarding your pregnancy. If you do continue with the pregnancy, then you will need to address your child's special needs. Your doctor can help you understand the pros and cons of having this test. Your doctor will work with you on options that are best for you after you know the results.
Call Your Doctor
Call Your Doctor
It is important to monitor your recovery. Alert your doctor to any problems. If any of the following occur, call your doctor:
- Signs of infection, including fever and chills
- Nausea or vomiting
- Pain or cramping in your lower abdomen or shoulder
- Vaginal bleeding or a loss of fluid from the vagina
- Redness, swelling, increasing pain, excessive bleeding, or discharge from the amniocentesis site
- New, unexplained symptoms
If you think you have an emergency, call for medical help right away.

Salaam everyone
I hope everyone is doing well.
I will start this discussion and hope that you all will contribute.
In the light of the events of recent years I believe that Pakistan is better off forging a closer alliance with Russia than US or any other western counterpart. Looking at the events in Crimea and Eastern Ukraine and Syria especially it is obvious that Russia has the leadership which can stand up to the Zionist agenda.
Therefore I say: Ditch the West - Embrace the East
What do you say?

Your morning roundup for Jan. 18, the day we learned even the law says size matters. Photo via Mocksession. Got any stories or photos for us? Tip your editors.
What we watched: San Antonio at Miami. There was something natural about Chris Bosh's play with Dwyane Wade out—an almost uncharacteristic fluidity because he wasn't hampered by the where-do-I-stand-so-as-not-to-get-in Dwyane's-or-LeBron's-way role he normally assumes. Thirty points, eight rebounds, five assists and four steals later, the Heat crushed the Spurs 120-98.
What we're watching (all times EST, unless noted): Cincinnati at Connecticut (ESPN2) and Seton Hall at Villanova (ESPNU) in men's college basketball at 7. Buffalo at Chicago in NHL hockey at 7:30 (NBCSN). Portland at Atlanta in NBA basketball at 8 (ESPN). Oklahoma State at Iowa (ESPNU) and Texas at Kansas State (ESPN2) in men's college basketball at 9. Dallas at Los Angeles Clippers in NBA basketball at 10:30 (ESPN). Australian Open, 2nd Round at 11 (ESPN2).

Chris Heath on Michelle Williams: "There is a question I have been wanting to understand the answer to, but have been feeling that I simply can't ask. Eventually I just ask it anyway: Do you think there was a part of you that imagined the two of you would somehow end up together? Immediately, I wish that I hadn't. The look on her face—a kind of juddering visceral alarm at what has been said...I don't wish to see that look many more times in my life. 'That would make me way too sad to answer,' she says quickly, and I hurriedly begin another question, about something completely different, hoping that if I say it fast enough these new words will chase the old words away from where they are hanging in the air between us, and maybe she will let me pretend that it was something I never said."

Jan. 18, 2008: First Video Of Mike And Mike Roast Surfaces
Engorging oneself with Subway to take the pain away: "The quality of play in the NBA this season has not been ideal, thanks to the lockout, but the Washington Wizards have stood out as a particularly putrid group. With their 1-12 record and numerous instances of in-fighting, they have no clear path to relevance and few bright spots to build upon. It's all a little depressing for everyone involved, from coaches to players to fans. Head coach Flip Saunders appears to be taking these difficulties especially poorly. After Monday's 114-106 loss to the Rockets at the Verizon Center, he gave the media a sense of just how much of a toll the losing has had on his life. 'You can say it really kills you to lose, but until it really kills you? For me, for 3-4 weeks, I've been on a steady diet of Subway, which is 20 minutes from my condo, and I bring it back up to my apartment. Because like I said, you don't feel good about yourself. As a team, that's how it has to be. It has to really hurt a lot.'" [TBJ, via Ball Don't Lie]
A glimpse at a playoff quarterback: "More importantly, Flacco left one of the Ravens' most important players with a distinctly unimpressed feeling. Talking to SIRIUS NFL Radio on Monday, mega-safety Ed Reed said that Flacco underperformed against Houston's aggressive defense. 'They had a lot of guys in the box on him and they were giving [the pass] to him,' Reed said. 'I think a couple of times he needed to get rid of the ball. It just didn't look like he had a hold on the offense. I don't know how much of [that was] the play calling … but it just didn't look like he had a hold on the offense, you know, of times past … It was just kind of like they [were] telling him [what] to do — throw the ball or get it here, you know, get it to certain guys.'" [Shutdown Corner]
Your Bull Riding Accident Interlude:
In case everyone forgot about this: "The man who wore No. 48 for the Giants in one playoff game nine years ago and knew the last snap of his career had gone astray the moment it left his fingertips stands in front of a mirror. He dons a camouflage baseball cap and sports a gray goatee inside the wooden shed he's converted into a makeshift weight room. He calls the tight space - filled with metal bars, chains and ropes - his torture chamber. His voice softens as he details the darkest moment of his professional life. 'For 19 years I tried to be invisible in my profession,' says Trey Junkin, now retired, spinning an official NFL leather football and tracking it with his eyes. 'Once I put my hands on that ball that day, that shitty snap was my fault. I think about it every day.' Junkin, who turns 51 on Sunday, is reliving the miscue from the end of the Giants' 2003 wild-card loss to the 49ers on endless loops this week as the teams prepare to meet in the NFC Championship Game, their first playoff pairing since the last-second loss. Signed four days before that game - Junkin, then 41, submitted retirement papers to the league a month earlier and had not been on a roster in 2002. What ensued at Candlestick Park sullied a career celebrated for repeated excellence after two of his 12 snaps led to blown field-goal attempts. 'It still jolts me from sleep,' says Junkin, in an exclusive interview with the Daily News, his first since the day after the defeat." [NY Daily News]

A couple of extracts from the many interesting comments that can be found on the online petition, which has now passed the 400 mark:My Great-grandfather and Grandfather ( John Northwood 1 and John Northwood 2) were pioneers in the local glass industry. Unique valuable glass objects were donated to the museum by my Grandfather. These were given on the understanding that they would be on display to the public in an academic museum environment. The Wordsley Cone site cannot provide this type of facility. I feel that despite my my Grandfather's generosity, his wishes for the donated objects are being ignored.Richard RobertsThe Broadfield House Glass Museum is a centre of excellence of National importance. It has also a key function in keeping the rich regional heritage of Stourbridge alive.Reino Liefkes

It's based on the Type-054A but designed for the export market.
- Displacement: 3700 tons
- Length: 135m
- Speed: 28kts
- 32-cell VLS for short-to-medium range SAM (DK-10?)
- FL-3000N PDMS (similar to Rolling Airframe Missile)
- 2x4 AShM and 2x3 ASW torpedoes
- Helicopter deck
IMHO this is something the PN should seriously look into. I'm not sure if the availability of this design takes the Type-054A off the export market, but the dimensions of this new frigate seem ideal as far as the PN is concerned. In fact, there is a chance (though slight) that the PN may be looking at this system, or at least something identical. Honestly, forget OHPs or surplus British ships, the PN should gun for 4~8 of these ships.

Hi all,
Basically I am not very new to ChIP experiment. I have been doing it very successfully since last one year but today I did make a mistake. I crosslink my cells for 10 min in 1% formaldehyde @ RT and then add gycine to stop the crosslinking and unfortunately I forgot to add glycine. and have washed them 2 times in PBS and then pelleted them in PBS+PIC, freezed them liquid nitrogen. I have to do so for several time points. after making mistake for 2 points suddenly it came to my mind , and I started to add glycine. Now I feel that I have two batches, one treated with glycien and other without it.
Please let me know if I can treat my untreated cells with same glycine amount after thawing them again without any harm??? or what could I do else in order to homogenize both batchs.
Submit your paper to J Biol Methods today!

Just continue to process the tissues as if you had quenched them. After washing with PBS, I doubt that quenching will do very much.

Thanks KPDE for your reply,
I did the same, I started the cell lysis today morning, If I will see some strange results then only I will repeat the experiment..

We are blessed to have the great services of AFI at work on our behalf.

I am writing to commend Shannon Weatherall for her excellent customer service. I needed to obtain insurance on my new home, which had a closing date much quicker than we had anticipated, the next day in fact. I contacted Shannon, and she understood the urgency of the situation. In one day, she provided the insurance for the home. There were some questions that I did not have the answers to immediately, but she started the process, told me what was needed, and as I supplied the information, she kept in touch by email and phone, and then she took care of the rest. Keep up the fine work!She was professional but friendly. Clear and concise in what was needed from me, and always patient and polite. She is an outstanding example of what customer service should strive to be.

I am sending you this e-mail in praise of one of your associates, Marcia Dietrich. When I first got out of the Army I took an entire one year search to find a suitable family home. I couldn't find what I wanted so the first house I ever owned was built as to family needs. I have had insurance with AFI since 1996. Here I am much later, moved, and buying again. I contacted AFI about covering my new home, I had the pleasure of working with Marcia. Marcia is the reason people come back to AFI. Thank you from myself and the veterans of this country for what you do to help us. Marcia has turned out to be a blessing.

AFI handling of my claim was outstanding. Prompt, friendly and customer oriented. It's a pleasure to do business with everyone in the company. Keep up the fine work!

I wanted to express my sincerest appreciation for what Armed Forces Insurance has done for Gooey Promotions LLC. As a veteran-owned small business, we face challenges that require us to wear many hats. When I started Gooey someone gave me a piece of advice, "do what you do best and hire experts to do everything else". I truly feel like I have hired an expert to take care of my business insurance. It was great to talk with a personal agent with AFI. She asked a lot of questions to help me with what coverage should be considered…but in the end she let me decide what I wanted. It was truly refreshing to do business with AFI, you get it…you get us veterans.

I received my policy renewal package a few days ago, and my wife and I had some questions. I called AFI this morning, and the customer service experience was remarkable in every respect. First of all, I was amazed to experience no annoying voice prompts. Ms. Pam Wright answered the call promptly. She was personable, completely professional, and a pleasure to deal with. She quickly answered all my questions. The caliber of service on this call was great. Please pass on my appreciation to Pam and to the whole organization.

I would like to thank and compliment the superb customer service that I received from your agent, Gwen. She contacted me in response to a request for online document availability. Gwen walked me through the entire process and assisted me with a login issue. In addition, she answered my question of whether or not my flood insurance was available online. She also confirmed that our flood insurance was paid and current, and then emailed the Dec. page info to us IMMEDIATELY. She should truly be commended for going ABOVE AND BEYOND to make sure all issues were thoroughly, professionally, accurately, and cordially resolved. THANK YOU, GWEN!

Whatever our situation is, Armed Forces Insurance is always there to help us. We get prompt and professional responses, with good advice and information to questions we didn't even know we needed to ask. We always appreciate the customer service representatives from all the different service departments/areas.
- Retired Air Force, Master Sergeant; Member Since 1982
Thank you, Armed Forces Insurance, for all that you have done for me and my family. We think the world of you and your agents. We received wonderful support following Katrina and now over 7 years later we are still receiving the very best care and support from AFI. All the folks at AFI are simply the very best.Thank you.
- Retired Coast Guard, Commander; Member Since 1976
I wanted to take a moment of your time to tell you about my experience with Tracy. It has been a long time since I have worked with an agent that not only provided me with "service" but went beyond my expectations. I contacted her with a rush situation in which our mutual customer was closing on his refinance at 4:30pm today. Once I explained my situation to her she took control, told me what she could do to help and most importantly followed through. I was very impressed and delighted with her. She is a strong asset for your company.
- Bank of America Home Loans, Mortgage Underwriter
I just simply want to thank Armed Forces Insurance for approving our new home insurance policy. Secondly, in today's society it is becoming very rare to interact with various individuals who are persons of their word, who exemplify professionalism, integrity and character. These personal attributes are very evident in Ms. Melissa who is a Senior Insurance Specialist with your fine company. Melissa actually called me on the date that she stated during our initial conversation, she was very polite and courteous during our conversations, she explained everything carefully and accurately, she has a very nice speaking voice and she displays the type of professionalism that is sometimes overlooked or taken for granted in today's workplace!!
- Former Army, Specialist; Member Since 2012
Your customer support has been inexplicably proficient. You know that your quality service is more than a five star rating. Thank you for all your support.
- Former Army, Master Sergeant; Member Since 2011
I have never received such outstanding, informative and courteous service from an agent of another company or organization.
- Retired Navy, Captain; Member Since 1964
I've been extremely remiss in not thanking you for the outstanding service and support you've provided, throughout this legal process. I'm extremely fortunate to have had you handling my case on behalf of AFI. As we're all aware, a significant monetary award to the plaintiff could, financially, "cripple" a defendant (me, in this case). Throughout my years of being a customer/member, AFI has provide me superb service; the job you did was consistent with that "gold standard" of excellence! Again, thanks for everything!
- Retired Army, Colonel; Member Since 1979
AFI's customer service is among the best I have dealt with in the bank/insurance industries over the past few years. I have never waited too long to speak with a human, and have never failed to get a complete answer to any question. Bravo!
- Active Army, Lieutenant Colonel; Member Since 1991
I want to thank you and your staff for helping us with our claim. I really appreciate your staffs outstanding assistance and quick settlement. We've heard so many horror stories (not about AFI) of people having such a hassle and hard times on settlements. Your staff was wonderful and a pleasure to work with.
- Retired Air Force, Master Sergeant; Member Since 1984
I am writing to recognize the consistent good service provided to me. Over the past year and five months that I have been a customer of AFI, I have received great help from all my insurance questions. I received help on establishing my first policy on a second home, got help to move my primary home, auto, valuable property, boat, and umbrella insurance to AFI. All my questions have been handled very professionally, from a customer service stand point I could not have asked for more. I received a recommendations as to endorsements that might better meet my situation (e.g. a co-title holder endorsement for the second home which my wife and I own with my sister and brother-in-law).
- Retired Army, Colonel; Member Since 2011
It is so refreshing to receive such wonderful support, as I am working overseas in the UAE where customer service is an unknown topic. AFI provided the requested information and recommended additional ideas to enhance my tools for influencing my account matters on my own...giving me control via on-line tools. I can't picture working with another company.
- Retired Marine Corps, Lieutenant Colonel; Member Since 2011
I've been insured with AFI since 1962, AFI's service has ALWAYS been awesome. Always courteous, timely, and knowledgeable. Today that service level just moved higher, when I didn't think it could get better. The AFI agent was extremely intelligent, professional and courteous.
- Retired Army, Colonel; Member Since 1962
I just became a member with AFI. AFI did a fantastic job, going through the closing process meant working with several different businesses. AFI was the only company I found easy to work with.
- Retired Army, Sergeant; Member Since 2012
I am very impressed with the service I received at AFI. The agent was very helpful and caring, she took the time to answer all of my questions and I felt like, not only was my business important but my mother's business as well. I tried to compare AFI's premium to another company but it took 3 days for them to respond; while AFI had my quote to me with-in an hour. That made me feel like AFI would be there when/if I needed them.
- Child of AFI Member, Member Since 2012
I would just like to provide a few comments regarding my recent claim for my property due to Hurricane Irene. I called the claims department on Saturday night to inform them that a tree fell over the side of my house. I was called back about 2 hours later to inform me a claim has been processed and an adjuster will be calling me within 24 hours. The adjuster called and gave me an approximate time he will be arriving. The insurance adjuster arrived on time and was very courteous and professional. He provided me with all the details involved with processing my claim. I was completely satisfied with his thoroughness in assessing the damages. I was also surprised by a visit from Mike Mattix and Ellen Wyrick, from the Kansas Headquarters, a few hours after the adjuster came. They wanted to ensure that my needs were met, as far as my homeowner policy was concerned. This was a truly outstanding service from AFI. These are the kinds of service that other insurance agencies would do well to emulate. It was truly gratifying to see senior leadership involved with the recovery process of a client.
- Active Air Force, Colonel; Member Since 2000
When my father passed away I had to take over closing all his accounts, including his insurance with AFI. I am so grateful for your patience, help and advice. I even learned that I, too, am eligible for AFI coverage as being a child of a member. I will seriously consider in the very near future insuring with AFI as I've completed construction on my own home.
- Child of AFI Member; Member Since 1980
I am a new policyholder with AFI. Over the past several months I have had the pleasure of working with an agent on setting up a policy for my new home. The responsiveness and help have been superb. Based on my experience with AFI, as my other policies come up for renewal I am going to look into switching them from USAA to AFI.
- Retired Coast Guard, Commander; Member Since 2011
I wanted to wait and respond back to you until the dust settled, after the St. Louis, MO Severe Weather Damage in April 2011. Now that everything is complete with all the work that had to be done, I wanted to let you know how very pleased we are with the results. From the very start, everyone in this process has performed beyond expectations. I wanted to let you know personally, that you, Barry and all the construction folks involved, resulted in our home being one of the first in our area to be completely restored, and to perfection.
Thank you and Armed Forces Insurance for being there for us and for your quick, courteous and efficient service.
- Retired Marine Corps, Gunnery Sergeant; Member Since 1998
AFI really made me and my wife feel appreciated for my service in the military, (I proudly enlisted on my 17th birthday in 1966) and a tour in Vietnam, where I became disabled. I have not been shown the respect in such a dignified and professional way by any company as we were made to feel by AFI.
- Former Army, Sergeant; Member Since 2011
Thank you so much for your attention and help. We truly appreciate all of the folks at Armed Forces Insurance. I have always prided myself for my military service but you and the people there truly make me feel great about the 7.5 years I spent in the Navy.
- Former Navy, Petty Officer 2nd Class; Member Since 2009
I would rather call Armed Forces Insurance than USAA (currently has auto coverage with them) because AFI has knowledgeable employees and they are always pleasant to talk with.
- Retired Air Force, Lieutenant Colonel; Member Since 2003
Thank you so much for your personal thank you card for becoming a new AFI client. I want to tell you, I could have never made the informed decisions pertaining to my choices, had it not been for your excellent employees. They far exceeded my expectations as far as knowledge of your products, stepped "way outside the box" of customer service. They were very quick with responses and even went to bat for me with my mortgage company.
- Widow of Former Air Force, Technical Sergeant; Member Since 2011
I give AFI an A+ for its support related to our house fire. When this started, the insurance adjuster said he worked with 200 different insurance companies and that AFI was unquestionably the best. He hit the mark! Thank you for your personal involvement and commitment with our claim resolution.
- Retired Air Force, Lieutenant Colonel; Member Since 2002
I just wanted to take this time to say thank you!! During the past year we have been through probably the roughest and most stressful times of our lives. During this time AFI was always available and so very helpful in such a trying time. Having never had a claim, and not really knowing what to do or expect, they really helped us greatly!
- Retired Navy, Petty Officer 1st Class; Member Since 2006
Thank you - it's rare to find such personal business interaction these days.
- Retired Army, Lieutenant Colonel; Member Since 1979
Thank you so very much for the help you gave me today with my auto policy. You were nice, knowledgeable, prompt and very courteous. To be honest I could have gone with another insurance company today and received a lower cost but the reason I did not use the other company is due to the wonderful service AFI gave me.
- Retired Navy, Chief Petty Officer; Member Since 2002
In the midst of throwing my father a 90th birthday party, I had a wind claim. I'm very happy with how professional AFI was and with how quickly they responded. I'm very thankful they were able to get someone out to my house so quickly to prevent further damage from occurring. Without a doubt I made the right decision in moving my coverage to AFI!
- Child of AFI Member; Member Since 2010
I'm extremely pleased with the customer service and the direct attention I received from AFI. You're like the old day local agents that seemed to care. Now days all these companies work by phone, just like AFI, but AFI really CARES about me and making sure I understand my policy.

Data quality and accuracy is key to success for every application. Databases full of invalid phone numbers, improperly formatted email addresses, or out of range numeric data are of no use to anyone. Java Swing interface programmers know all too well the work involved in error checking user inputs taken from vanilla
JTextFields. Many probably have been tempted to implement interfaces using
JFormattedTextFields, but have been put off by the complexity of masks, formatters, verifiers, abstract classes, and interfaces that are required. In this article, I explain the proper use of the
JFormattedTextFieldand its related classes to create forms that provide both guided input for users and validated data for the application. The source code for a sample application and a library of reusable classes for common data entry items based on
JFormattedTextField is available for download here.
JFormattedTextFields are alternatives to
JTextFields that are well worth using. They differ from
JTextFields in several ways:
- First, they maintain a current "value" associated with the field as an
Object. The
setValuemethods are provided to access it.
- Second, they use formatter objects to control the display of the value. One formatter is used to convert the value object to a
Stringfor display when the field does not have the focus; a separate formatter is used to convert the value when it receives the focus. Therefore a field that holds currency can limit the number of decimal places shown, have a dollar sign, and have commas separating the thousands while it is not being changed, then automatically change to a form with just digits and decimals when the focus is shifted to it. A type of formatter called a
MaskFormattercan provide a "type-in-the-blank" template to guide the users input.
MaskFormatters are useful for data types such as phone numbers, dates, and Social Security Numbers.
- The third, and most important difference is that when combined with
InputVerifiersthey can handle all the parsing, range checking, and formatting required for processing GUI form interfaces. For example, Figure 1(a) shows a
JFormattedTextFieldused to input currency with the focus, Figure 1(b) shows the same
JFormattedTextFieldwithout the focus. Table 1 compares the code required to input, convert, and validate a double value using
Figure 1(a)
Figure 1(b)
Table 1: Comparison of code to access JTextField and JFormattedTextField values.
Implementing a JFormattedTextField
According to the Java API:
"JFormattedTextField does not do the formatting it self, rather formatting is done through an instance of JFormattedTextField.AbstractFormatter which is obtained from an instance of JFormattedTextField.AbstractFormatterFactory."
What this really means is that to make a
JFormattedTextField operate you need to create an instance of an
AbstractFormatterFactory. The easiest way to do this is to use a convenience class called
DefaultFormatterFactory, then attach it to the
JFormattedTextField. The primary purpose of the
DefaultFormatterFactory is to maintain three
AbstractFormatter classes for the
JFormattedTextField. One abstract formatter is the default formatter, it is used if a more specific formatter cannot be found; another is the display formatter used to format the value when the
JFormattedTextField does not have the focus; and the third is the edit formatter, used to format the value when the
JFormattedTextField has the focus.
DefaultFormatterFactory dff = new DefaultFormatterFactory(defFormatter, displayFormatter, editFormatter); JFormattedTextField tf = new JFormattedTextField(dff);
The formatter classes are primarily responsible for providing the body for two methods,
stringToValue and
stringToValue parses a
String and creates an object of the proper type (
Integer, etc).
valueToString takes the current value and formats it for display.
AbstractFormatter classes may in turn rely on specific format classes such as
DecimalFormat and
SimpleDateFormat. Creating formatter classes from scratch can be a daunting task, fortunately, the standard Java API provides numerous formatter classes that can be used as is. The standard class you use is determined by the type of data you need to format. Numeric data (currencies, counts, salaries) should use the
NumberFormatter class, fixed length string data should use the
MaskFormatter class (social security numbers, credit card numbers, phone numbers, dates), and variable length string data will need to have a custom formatter created based on the
DefautFormatter class.
NumberFormatter can be used for any numeric field, age, income, annual rainfall, quantity, cost, etc. A
NumberFormatter object is created using a constructor that accepts an object of type
NumberFormat as its only parameter. Typically a
DecimalFormat object (subclass of
NumberFormat) is used. For example:
NumberFormatter currencyFormatter = new NumberFormatter(new DecimalFormat("$ #,###.00"));
In the above example, a
DecimalFormat object is specified that can take a numeric value and convert it to a
String using the specified pattern. The "#" character is replaced with a digit (or absent if 0), the "0" is replaced with a digit. The fact that there are only two "0" to the right of the decimal point indicates only two decimal places are to be shown (rounding up/down automatically). The "," acts as a grouping separator. Since there are three "#" between the decimal point and the comma, the numbers to the left of the decimal will be grouped in sets of three. You only need to specify the position of the first grouping separator.
The example above adds the grouping separator and dollar sign. Both of these will cause parse errors when converting back to a number. Therefore, you will typically need a separate
NumberFormatter for the edit and display formats. The one used for the edit format would exclude the dollar sign, grouping separator (comma), and use "#"s to the right of the decimal. For example:
NumberFormatter displayCurrencyFormatter = new NumberFormatter(new DecimalFormat("$ #,###.00")); NumberFormatter editCurrencyFormatter = new NumberFormatter(new DecimalFormat("#.##"));
getValue method of the
JFormattedTextField calls the parse method within the
DecimalFormat class, and may return a
Long or a
Double, depending on the
String involved. If the
String has a decimal in it, a
Double is returned, if it doesn't, a
Long is returned. To make the class of the return value more predictable (and avoid class cast exceptions), you should call the
setValueClass method and specify whether you want a
Byte, or
Integer; for example:
displayCurrencyFormatter.setValueClass(Double.class); editCurrencyFormatter.setValueClass(Double.class);
The following is a complete example for creating a
JFormattedTextField for entering salary:
// create the JFormattedTextField JFormattedTextField salaryField = new JFormattedTextField(); // create the formatters, default, display, edit NumberFormatter defaultFormatter = new NumberFormatter(new DecimalFormat("#.##")); NumberFormatter displayFormatter = new NumberFormatter(new DecimalFormat("$ #,###.00")); NumberFormatter editFormatter = new NumberFormatter(new DecimalFormat("#.##")); // set their value classes defaultFormatter.setValueClass(Double.class); displayFormatter.setValueClass(Double.class); editFormatter.setValueClass(Double.class); // create and set the DefaultFormatterFactory DefaultFormatterFactory salaryFactory = new DefaultFormatterFactory(defaultFormatter,displayFormatter,editFormatter); salaryField.setFormatterFactory(salaryFactory);
MaskFormatter is best used to format
Strings that have a fixed length and set format. Examples include: dates, Social Security Numbers, phone numbers, credit-card numbers, ZIP codes, vehicle ID numbers (VINs).
MaskFormatters are not suitable for
Strings with variable numbers of characters, e.g. URLs and email addresses. A single instance of the
MaskFormatter can be used for both the edit and display formats of an
AbstractFormatterFactory. A
MaskFormatter object is created using a constructor that accepts a formatting mask as its only parameter. The formatting mask specifies what type of characters can appear in each position and any literal characters. Literal characters are fixed in place and are not changeable by the users; for example, the dash and parenthesis in a phone number would be considered literal characters. Table 2 shows the different mask characters used by the
Table 2: MaskFormatter Characters.
For example, the mask "###-##-####" could be used for a Social Security number. The #s allow the user to type in any number, the dashes are literals and fixed in place. Similarly for a ZIP code the mask "#####-####" could be used:
MaskFormatter zipMask = new MaskFormatter("#####-####"); MaskFormatter ssnMask = new MaskFormatter("###-##-####");
You can restrict what the user types in even more by invoking the
setValidCharacters or the
setInvalidCharacters method. For example, if you wanted to restrict the digits in a ZIP code to just 2s and 3s, then you could make the following call:
zipMask.setValidCharacters("23"); // only allow 2, 3 in the zip code
Alternatively, if you wanted any digit but a 2 or a 3 then you could make the following call:
zipMask.setInvalidCharacters("23"); // don't allow 2,3 in the zip code.
A final consideration when creating a
MaskFormatter is setting the placeholder character. This character is inserted into the
String if the current value has too few characters or when the user presses the delete or backspace keys while editing. It is common to use an underscore as the placeholder, but any character will do. To avoid confusion, select a character that is not used as a literal or valid character in the mask. To set the placeholder, call the
setPlaceholderCharacter method; for example:
zipMask.setPlaceholderCharacter('_'); // use an underscore as a placeholder
The Table 3 provides a few common masks.
Table 3: Masks for common data types.
(You may want to consider using a fixed-width font (such as Courier) for the
JFormattedTextField. This makes the overall appearance and character spacing more pleasing to the eye.
The example below creates a
JFormattedTextField for entering a
// create a MaskFormatter for Dates JFormattedTextField dateField = new JFormattedTextField(); MaskFormatter dateFormatter = new MaskFormatter("##/##/#### ##:##:## UM"); dateFormatter.setValidCharacters("0123456789AP"); dateFormatter.setPlaceholderCharacter('_'); dateFormatter.setValueClass(String.class); DefaultFormatterFactory dateFormatterFactory = new DefaultFormatterFactory(dateFormatter); dateField.setFormatterFactory(dateFormatterFactory);
The example below creates a
JFormattedTextField for entering a Social Security number:
JFormattedTextField ssnField = new JFormattedTextField(); MaskFormatter ssnFormatter = new MaskFormatter("###-##-####"); ssnFormatter.setValueClass(String.class); ssnFormatter.setPlaceholderCharacter('_'); DefaultFormatterFactory ssnFormatterFactory = new DefaultFormatterFactory(ssnFormatter); ssnField.setFormatterFactory(ssnFormatterFactory);

Insight about our unity with God from the Corpus Hermeticum.
If then you do not make yourself equal to God, you cannot apprehend God; for like is known by like. Leap clear of all that is corporeal and make yourself grow to a like expanse with that greatness which is beyond all measure; rise above all time, and become eternal; then you will apprehend God. Think that for you too nothing is impossible; deem that you too are immortal, and that you are able to grasp all things in your thought, to know every craft and every living creature; make yourself higher than all heights, and lower than all depths; bring together in yourself all opposites of quality, heat and cold, dryness and fluidity; think that you are not yet begotten, that you are in the womb, that you are young, that you are old, that you have died, that you are in the world beyond the grave; grasp in your thought all this at once, all times and places, all substances and qualities and magnitudes together; then you can apprehend God. But if you shut up your soul in your body, and abase yourself, and say "I know nothing, I can do nothing; I am afraid of earth and sea, I cannot mount to heaven; I know not what I was, not what I shall be"; then, what have you to do with God? Your thought can grasp nothing beautiful and good, if you cleave to the body, and are evil.
For it is the height of evil not to know God; but to be capable of knowing God, and to wish and hope to know him, is the road which leads straight to the Good; and it is an easy road to travel. Everywhere God will come to meet you, everywhere he will appear to you, at places and times at which you look not for it, in your waking hours and in your sleep, when you are journeying by water and by land, in the nighttime and in the daytime, when you are speaking and when you are silent; for there is nothing which is not God. And do you say "God is invisible?" Speak not so. Who is more manifest than God? For this very purpose has he made all things. Nothing is invisible, not even an incorporeal thing; mind is seen in its liking, and God in his working.
So far, I have shown you the truth. Think out all else in like manner for yourself, and you will not be misled.

That's because, at the request of Nebraska Legal Aid, McGinn developed a user-friendly program that leads parents step-by-step in the pro se creation of a legal parenting plan document. The project was part of the Suffolk course, "Lawyering in the Age of Smart Machines."
"Like every state, we have a great need for legal representation," says Annette Farnan, assistant director of Nebraska Legal Aid. "We're doing what we can to find efficiencies." It's estimated that nationally about 80% of the legal needs of low-income citizens go unmet.
One efficiency Nebraska and other state legal aid offices have adopted is offering via their website and on computers in their offices easy-to-use online programs that produce court-ready legal documents. Nebraska's programs include document creation for divorce, conviction set asides, and protection orders. Soon, with help from Suffolk and Kent-Chicago students, the Nebraska agency will offer apps for special education requests, name changes, divorce counter-claims, plus McGinn's parenting plan.
But why not just give clients a form to fill out?
"There's some magic to have a guided step-by-step process," says McGinn, especially if the user is not technically sophisticated. It also can save time with auto-fill and the elimination of N/A questions, made possible by the use of branching-logic.
McGinn believes the skills and insights from the class will give her a competitive edge when she graduates. She's already put some of it to use in her job as a paralegal at State Street Bank, where she built a time- and paper-saving program for a Commodity Future Trading Commission filing. Her supervisor, she says, was "super happy."

Kreativ Blogger Award
Thanks to Linda over at Flipside for awarding me the Kreativ Blogger Award! Apparently, I am supposed to list seven things about myself here:
1) I love seafood and any foods that are non-American (i.e. Cajun, Indian, Chinese, Thai, Greek, Lebanese, Nepali, Japanese, etc.), especially if they are spicy.
2) I love secondhand smoke. I know that sounds weird, and I know it's not good for me, but it reminds me of summers in Michigan as a child.
3) My bachelor's degree is in elementary education, but I'm an accountant. I believe that you can always change your mind.
4) Speaking of changing my mind, sometimes I think about going back to school for a Master's in Library Science, and sometimes I think about getting a Master's in Theological Studies.
5) I love to study religions, particularly the differences between the various Christian denominations.
6) I love to read. I am currently reading Lalita Tademy's Red River. I highly recommend it for all you other genealogists out there, as it is her family saga, based on her own genealogical research on her father's family. She wrote about her mother's family in Cane River. Of course, I do read non-genealogical related books. My favorite book is Rapture of Canaan, and I love just about anything by Anita Shreve. I also LOVE children's books.
7) I'm going on the RootsMagic Valentine's Cruise in 2010!
I would like to award the following blogs with the Kreativ Blogger Award:
1) Caroline at Family Stories
2) Lisa at Small-Leaved Shamrock, 100 Years in America, and A Light That Shines Again
3) Cindy at Everything's Relative
4) Terri at The Ties That Bind
5) Liz at My Big Fat Cajun/Irish/Scottish/English/German/French/Southern Family Blog
6) Elizabeth at Little Bytes of Life
7) Allum at Spence-Lowry Family History

Hello Jennifer -ReplyDelete
Thanks so much for the "Kreativ Blogger" award. I really appreciate you taking the time to "catch up" on your reading of my blogs as you mentioned. I'm hoping to do so on my reading here at some point - you've done so much good writing and I'm always inspired by your meticulous research skills.
