This is a swing element. It will be less useful with B4J which is based on JavaFX framework.

You can do something similar in B4J.

Click to expand...

Modifying the text while the user writes it is a good way to assure that the user experience will be very bad.
Better to set the border to red or something like that. You can also change the text when the focus is lost and add the separators.
