Validating a JText field for characters

Question

Hi i have a jTextfield i am expecting the user to enter a value between 1-9 only with the following code:
public class KeyCatcher extends KeyAdapter
         public void keyPressed(KeyEvent evt)
          //int temp = evt.getKeyCode();
           String stringValue = textField.getText();
           int value = Integer.parseInt(stringValue);
           if( m_nShapesToDraw == 0 )
               if(( value >=1 ) && ( value <= 9 ) )
                    m_nShapesToDraw = value;
                         hasEnteredValue = true;     
                         cPanel.repaint() ;                    
    }As you can see i am converting the string into an int and comparing it against 1-9. Now i want to add another validation to check if it is a character. Can somone explain to me how i would do that in my text field.
Please not: disregard the line of code:
if( m_nShapesToDraw == 0 )as this used for somthing else. Thanks

Quit posting Swing related questions in the general programming forum.
I'm tired of asking you to post in the correct forum.
If it's just 9 values, make it a combo box. And thats the second time you've received that advice.
Do you actually listen to anything anybody suggests to you on the forum?
