Hi Everyone,

I am a student and I have been asked to make a program to create business cards. At the moment I have made a fully working application with file IO. The program basicly takes any input into the text fields and displays them on a business card template. Also it is necessary for the program to put a logo onto the business card by means of selection boxes. I already have written methods for drawing the logos, at the moment they are seperate applets. On my application I have included seletion boxes but at the moment they are tied to a String array so when the selection is made the strings: "Logo1", "Logo2", and "logo3" are displayed on the card rather than the Graphical logos drawn in the applets I have previously written. Can anyone suggest a way that I can tie the selection boxes to the logos so that they are displayed on the screen, Even if i have to cut and paste the methods into my new application code. I just need some help doing it.

Oh by the way here is the code i am using so far: Please can anyone help I have been sitting at the computer scratching my head all day. A forum really is my last resort so any help would be greatly appreciated.

}
}

instead of having the logos be drawn in the app. have the user draw it somewhere else and allow them to insert any image ontop of the template.
