I've got two day to understand and finish this program and I am lost and scared of failing my class. I have read so many tutorials that I wake up talking in java code. lol
I'm sorry for venting but I needed it. I want to thank you guys forhelping me understand the parts that I didn. I wish you guys were my instructor for this class, I would probably be a java pro.

Think about it, why is it not working?

An consider following possible changes
in InventoryMain.java

public void initCD() {
        //Create an array    
        productCD = new CD[20];
     
        //fill in the classes
        productCD[0] = new CD( 1, "Crowbar" , 20.00, 10, "00722");
        productCD[1] = new CD( 2, "Pantera" , 20.00, 10, "00263");
        productCD[2] = new CD( 3, "Ozzy" , 15.00, 10, "00142");
        productCD[3] = new CD( 4, "Soulfly" , 18.00, 10, "00553");
        productCD[4] = new CD( 5, "Down", 24.00, 10, "00789");
        productCD[5] = new CD( 6, "God Forbid" , 10.00, 10, "00712");
        productCD[6] = new CD( 7, "Black Label Society" , 16.00, 10, "00458" );
        productCD[7] = new CD( 8, "Saint Vitus" , 15.00, 10, "00889");
        productCD[8] = new CD( 9, "Clearlight" , 15.00, 10, "00897");
        productCD[9] = new CD( 10, "Testament" , 15.00, 10, "00656"); 
        	
        for(int i = 10; i < productCD.length; i++)
        {
        	productCD[i] = new CD();
        }     
    }

and in CD.java

public CD() {}

Okay, I got the add button to work. all the buttons work except the delete, modify, and the save and search buttons which i have not added yet. here is the code:

Can some one give me some advisee as to what I am doing wrong. I knoow its going to be something simple that I'm overlooking, ive been workinng onn this for the last 4 days and I cant think strait anymore. thanks.

and this is post befor it

Okay, I got the add button to work. all the buttons work except the delete, modify, and the save and search buttons which i have not added yet. here is the code:

You did not provide any info on what is happening, so we have no idea what can be wrong...

Anyway what is difference between add and save ?

You did not provide any info on what is happening, so we have no idea what can be wrong...

I'm sorry, I cant think strait from looking at a computer screen for 20 hours.

the save button needs to save the inventory to a C:\data\inventory.dat file.

Here is my code again, im not reseaving any errors but the delete, modify buttons do not do what they are needed to do, and the save and search buttons which i have not added yet. here is the code:

Add will will move possition of pointer to 11 and display array data from this position which will be EMPTY as you did not read any of yours JTextFields and did not store this data in next empty array position
Delete will move pointer to first position in array and that's it! This will only affect functionality of button Next and Previous.
Modify will first go throught for loop and then re-populate JTextFields whit same data as there been previously

I recomend you create search method, which will be called once Modify or Delete button pressed. When you call this method as the argument pass content(string) of Item Name JTextField. Inside search method you can use for loop to go throught your productCD array with if statement to check productCD ItemName equals to PASSED_ARGUMENT. Once item found initialize local variable with current value of variable used in for loop and return this value to method which requested search method.
Modify method then should use set methods to update selected item productCD[RETURNED_INT] with new ItemPrice/units/code.
Delete will however assign empty string ("") to string variables and zero to integer/double variables

My brain is in shock or something because I have read so many tutorials and what-knot that all the information is in gridlock and scrambled. I am so lost. if you only knew how long that I have been sitting here on my computer reeading and trying so many different thing. I feel retarded because I know its somethinng that I am overlooking. I dont want to fail my class but I dont know what else to do and my head is about to explode. maybe I should have slept so I could started fresh
Thank you for your help peter, you have been a god sent and have been pacient with me. I really do appreciate it.

I would like to thank Ezzaral and peter_budo for helping me bettter understand java. I learned more from you guys in just a short time than I did from my class and instructor.
Thank you very much.

I tried to run this code as written

Correction... I tried to compile the code as written

I got a ".\ActionListener.java: class, interface, or enum expected" for every single line of code.

That makes no sense! I have tried to reveiw the tutorials on ActionListener and its implementation but I'm having trouble connecting the dots.

Is there a significant change from Java 1.4 to the 1.5 and beyond. I think I have JDK suite installed on my CPU.

or is there a gap in the program I just missed or is 'assumed' and just not written in.

Yes there lots of differences between this two versions. However you should speed up as there is Java 1.6 aviable over a year already

I am also doing inventoy program 5 but my issue is that i have an double array.
an honestly i can think of a way to get the info to diplay one at a time because of this. i dont know if i would be better of swiching to a singal array or if i can do a if loop some how.

this is what i have so far if someone could point me in the right way that would be great because im not get much help from my teach.

I know how to do a button for a single array button I so lost Im on my 7th file trying to figure out how to do this with a double array. I know im making this a lot harder then it real is but i think my brain stop working somewhere along the 5 file. well tell me what you guys think if its a lose or if i can use so type of loop. i think an if and a else loop would work or if i would just be better off going with a single array

thanks for the help and if it seems like im asking for code im sorry im not the best at wording this type of stuff.

I am also doing inventoy program 5 but my issue is that i have an double array.
an honestly i can think of a way to get the info to diplay one at a time because of this. i dont know if i would be better of swiching to a singal array or if i can do a if loop some how.
