Hey everyone,
I'm using the NetBeans WYSIWYG, the part where you drag and drop
to create the windows and buttons ect.
What I am trying to do is open a tutorial for my program from
a menu item in the 'Help' menu.
My problem is HOW to open a window from the 'Tutorial' item in the
'Help' menu.
Even though I am using the WYSIWYG, I have no problem actually coding it,
so coding answers are great too!
Thanks everyone,
-WolfShield
Jump to PostDo you mean open a new window of your application?
Hmm, I think you can use this:
Form2 frm = new Form2(); frm.setVisible(true);

Jump to PostWhat do you mean with the tutorial? a form in your application or another file like doc, pdf, ext?

frm.setVisible(true);Sorry,
I should have clarified.
I mean that my user clicks on the 'Help' menu, then on the 'Tutorial' menu
item and it opens up a different window with a tutorial in it.
Thanks for the reply!

Do you want a window within your java program, a web-page link, or a text file to open in a generic text editor. The window in java would most likely load text from an external file for two reasons: To make it easy to update the tutorial, and/or to reduce the active size of your program less resource intensive overall making it faster.
Also can you post the code for your program so I can see what you are working with?
What do you mean with the tutorial? a form in your application or another file like doc, pdf, ext?
Okay,
I want to open up another java window, the same kind as the main window.
A window that I can place labels, buttons, textfields, ect...
The project I am working on is a converter and calculator program.
I will post the code here, but I am still working on it so not
everything in it works. (If it did, I wouldn't be here, would I? Lol.)

}I am making this in the NetBeans WYSIWYG so there is a lot of extra code in there.

As for the tutorial question above,
I just want a window that I can place text into for the tutorial.
Kind of like a bunch of labels.
-WolfShield
Great software Wolf. :)
Do you mean make a new window? Right click on the package and choose new-JFrame Form. After that put the code I've write above in Menu's actionPerformed.
am I right? Sorry if I wrong again. (My english is so bad. :p)
Yes!
That is exactly what I needed!!! Thank you so much!!
One thing, what do I put instead of the 'Form2'?
Like, what part is that in my program?
Thanks again!!
-WolfShield
Its the name or your new form class. :)
