G4P: GEvent how to check for ENTERED [SOLVED]

I modified this code from one of the G4P examples:

Copy code

public void txf1_change1(GTextField tc, GEvent event) { //_CODE_:textfield2:640996:
switch(event) {
case ENTERED:
    sentense=tc.getText();
    System.out.println(sentense);
    sentense="";
    tc.setText("");
    break;
default:
    break;
}
}

This works great within my code where I have a text field and want its string contents printed every time I hit the enter key.

Since I am only checking for one thing I thought the case/switch approach was not needed so I tried

Copy code

if (event == ENTERED){
    sentense=tc.getText();
    System.out.println(sentense);
    sentense="";
    tc.setText("");
}

but it wouldn't understand ENTERED... Not sure why it can get it in CASE but not in IF?????

There is a difference between switch and if statements which I won't go into but the solution is
