To get the limit of 10 characters and the sound you can use this: YourJTextFieldName.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() { public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) { if (YourJTextFieldName.getText().length() == 10) { Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().beep(); e.consume(); } }}); To make it able to only use characters you can use this: if (!(Pattern.matches("[A-Za-z ]*", YourJTextFieldName.getText()))) { JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "Please use characters only", "Error", JOptionPane.ERROR_MESSAGE); } Dont forget to import. Try it out yourself if you really need help i will help you with the code
