hi guys,

i have created a class which has a couple of buttons and each button calls a public class, class B4 is a button and it calls up the Printdata class,
the Printdata class, then gets data from the database carpark and stores it into a file.txt as B4 button is pressed,

also within the Printdata.java i have a main that should bring up a print dialog to print the file.txt, but for some reason this part of the code is'nt excuted...can anyone advice..it will be appreciated very much...thx

content.setLayout(new FlowLayout());



JButton b4 = new JButton(" Print all Members Details ");
content.add(b4);
b4.addActionListener(new B4());


f.show();
}

} // end of JFrameApplication class



class B4 implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {

Printdata frame = new Printdata();
frame.printStuff();




} 
}

}
byte buf[] = str.getBytes();

}

public void printStuff(String args[]) throws Exception {

String filename = ("file.txt"); // THIS IS THE FILE I WANT TO PRINT
PrintRequestAttributeSet pras = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
DocFlavor flavor = DocFlavor.INPUT_STREAM.AUTOSENSE; // MY FILE IS .txt TYPE
PrintService printService[] = 
PrintServiceLookup.lookupPrintServices(flavor, pras);
PrintService defaultService = 
PrintServiceLookup.lookupDefaultPrintService();
PrintService service = ServiceUI.printDialog(null, 200, 200,
printService, defaultService, flavor, pras);
if (service != null) {
DocPrintJob job = service.createPrintJob();
FileInputStream fis = new FileInputStream(filename);
DocAttributeSet das = new HashDocAttributeSet();
Doc doc = new SimpleDoc(fis, flavor, das);
job.print(doc, pras);
Thread.sleep(10000);
}

System.exit(0);

}
}

thanks any help will be appreciated

None of that code is executed - it doesn't compile. You have missing concatenation operators, illegal calls to non-static members from a static context, etc. You need to fix those first.

yeah, you right, this code has more to it, but all i want is a method that i can use to call printStuff() from class B4, (button4) when it is pressed.

If you know that the code won't compile and it "has more to it", what exactly is your question? You said "for some reason this part of the code is'nt excuted"(sic). The obvious answer is that it won't execute because it won't compile.

ok...sorry....what i meant was i have a button called B4, right and when i press that button, i want it to call printStuff() method from class Printdata() that what i am trying to do..

its solved now...thanx....aniwais..tc
