ive been trying to figure this out for hours, and would appreciate any help. im clumsy with java, have only really had c++ experience and am at a bit of a loss trying to figure out GUI's, my problem goes like this.....
basically i need to create different frames or windows that can access the same data, its pretty obvoius from the code what im trying to do... if someone can give me a hand or some advice i would GREATLY appreciate it...
public class DataStore
{
public int count;
public DataStore()
{
count=0;
}
}
import BreezySwing.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class test1 extends GBFrame
{
public DataStore D1;
JButton testButton = addButton ("test" ,1,1,1,1);
JButton anotherButton = addButton ("anotherTEST" ,2,1,1,1);
public test1()
{
D1 = new DataStore();
}
public void buttonClicked(JButton buttonObj)
{
if(buttonObj==testButton)
{
D1.count++;
messageBox(D1.count);
}
if(buttonObj==anotherButton)
{
test2 gpo = new test2();
gpo.setSize(500,500);
gpo.setVisible(true);
this.setVisible(false);
}
}
public static void main (String args[])
{
test1 tpo = new test1();
tpo.setSize(500,500);
tpo.setVisible(true);
}
}
import BreezySwing.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import DataStore.*;
//import test1.*;
public class test2 extends GBFrame
{
JButton test2Button = addButton ("<<test2>>" ,3,1,1,1);
public void buttonClicked(JButton buttonObj)
{
if(buttonObj==test2Button)
{
D1.count--;
messageBox(D1.count);
}
}
}
my 2 problems are:
why are the buttons from the first frame (test1) still there after setting tpo.setVisible(false)
and....
how can i access the same DataStore object (D1) from the second form (test2)
elegance of code is not an issue, neither is encapsulation or good programming practice, i just need it to work.....
any help would be GREATLY appreciated.....
apollogies if i made no sense but its late and this has been driving me mad...
