KeyListener Limiting to Alphanumeric

[neoskunk]

I'm trying to create a keylistener that will only allow alphanumeric input.

I have done this before but cannot remember how. 

for some reason getKeyCode() continues to give me 0 regardless of what key is pressed.  is this normal?  I feel like in the past all i did was use an if statement something like:

1   2

if(e.getKeyCode() >= KeyEvent.VK_A && e.getKeyCode() >= KeyEvent.VK_Z) do something

any ideas?

my mistake.  i had all the code in the keyTyped method.  should have been in the keyPressed method.
