Hi everyone, I've been working on this for a couple of days now. I need to make sure that an error message is given if txtname has a numerical value in it, and I also need to make sure that an error message is given if txtscore has a non-numerical value in it.

Here is the code for my first class:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;

public class Assignment extends JFrame
{
	JTextField txtname, txtscore;
	JLabel lblmsg = new JLabel("            ");
	JTextArea txtContents = new JTextArea();
	JButton btnProcess;
	JPanel pnl=new JPanel();

	public Assignment()
	{
		
		txtname = new JTextField(10);
		txtscore = new JTextField(10);

		btnProcess = new JButton("process Student information!");
		pnl.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,2));

		pnl.add(new JLabel("Enter Student name"));
		pnl.add(txtname);

		pnl.add(new JLabel("Enter Score"));
		pnl.add(txtscore);

		pnl.add(btnProcess);
		pnl.add(lblmsg);

		btnProcess.addActionListener(new btnProcess_actionListener_class());

		setSize(500,300);
		setVisible(true);
		add(pnl);
		setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	}
	public static void main(String a[])
	{
		Assignment ec = new Assignment();
	}

	class btnProcess_actionListener_class implements ActionListener
	{
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
		{
			String name=txtname.getText();
			int score = Integer.parseInt(txtscore.getText());
			Student s1 = new Student();
			s1.setScore(score);
			s1.setName(name);
			lblmsg.setText("Data OK!");
		}
	}
}

Here is the code for my second class:

public class Student
{
	private  String name;
	private int score;


	public Student()
	{
		name = "zzz";
		score=0;
	}

	public String toString()
	{
		String rv = " ";
		rv="name=" + name + ", score=" + score;
		return rv;
	}

	public void setName(String iname)
	{
		name = iname;
	}

	public String getName()
	{
		return name;
	}

	public void setScore(int iscore)
	{
		score = iscore;
	}

	public int getScore()
	{
		return score;
	}
}

So I figured out how to get my JTextField txtscore to spit out an error if the score was under 0 or over 100. Now the only problem I am having is if the user inputs non-numerical values for txtname an error message needs to show up in lblmsg.
