Hello I'm trying to get a jTextField to be updated by another class however the validate() and repaint() aren't working. However, it is saying that the text has been changed for my jTextField. Below is the code could anybody explain to me why its not updating the repainting the jTextField to show the text change?
Thanks, Viking3579
