Form Pop-up?

[laguardian]

Hey guys! I've been creating this program that takes in an input from the user, and if the user is done inputting the required information, the user clicks on the "Ok" button and it opens another form which displays the info that the user inputted from the first form. My questions is how do I do this? I've been searching google, but the codes just confuse me.

you dont need form , you need dialogue boxes.

[sirlink99]

or you could make a new JFrame that displays the information the user entered and then after they click the "confirm" or the "OK" button then use the dispose (); method to get rid of the frame

confirmationFrame.dispose ();

I created a "finished" button. So, when I click "finished" it would open another form called "OutputSched".
Here's what I did:

private void FinishedActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                         
         OutputSched;
        OutputSched = new OutputSched();
        setVisible(false);
    }

But this doesn't work. What should I do?

[JamesCherrill]

OutputSched;
OutputSched = new OutputSched();

The first line is just a class name on its own, the second tries to assign a new instance to an existing class name. Neither of these lines is valid Java. If you just want to create a new OutputSched then a simple new OutputSched(); is enough.
I presume you have worked out a way to get the new data into that form?

[laguardian]

Thanks! But I tried out the code and it still doesn't work.

I tried the one you said:

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        new OutputSched();
    }

There's was an error on NetBeans so I changed it to:

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        OutputSched outputSched = new OutputSched();
    }

[JamesCherrill]

Unless you are willing to say exactly what the error was, and where, there's nothing more I can do. The change you describe is unlikely to make any difference at all - all it does is to create a reference (which you never use) to the new object, then immediately discard it when the method ends 1 line later.

[laguardian]

Not really an error, but it says:
"New instance ignored"
"Assign Return Value To New Variable"

[JamesCherrill]

OK, that's just NetBeans doing its thing. If that was a non-GUI class then your code would be suspect, but since its a GUI you don't need to assign it (Swing will keep its own reference to a form that it is displaying).
Anyway, writing "it still doesn't work" is about as useful as taking your car to the garage and saying "there's something wrong with it" - in fact less useful because the garage have access to your car, but I don't have access to your code. Please post a complete and detailed description for any problem you want help with.

Ok. So when I click the "Finished" button on the Input form, it brings up the OutputSched form:

public class Input extends javax.swing.JFrame {

    /** Creates new form Input */
    public Input() {
        initComponents();

Sorry if I sound like a noob. I'm new to all this and I'm trying my best to learn it on my own. Thanks in advance

I can see two reasons why you don't see the new form:
1. There's no code in the jButton1ActionPerformed method. That's where you should have the new OutputSched();
2. The generated code to init your OutputSched instances creates everything but it doesn't make it visible (most GUI code generators are the same). As well as creating a new instance, you also need to make it visible, like on line 220

ps: Don't worry about being a noob. Most people here are. We all (except possibly ~s.o.s~) are still learning.

boss i am not pritty sure of ur requirment ,if this may give u the solution just take it on, u just store the data in one String and when u press the button the ActionLisners will call the ActionPerform Event ,in that a method with a String parameter of some class say A which is another Form , usplit the String and u display in that form,r a method that return the object of the data u need , try it if not this a solution ignore it

class OutputSched {
//example 
public void display(String data){
   

// u call the initComponents here r 
this r ur  method will create a form  and displays the string 
JFrame =new Jframe();
   data= StringSplitter(data); 
   ....
   ....

   setVisible(true);

}

}

in the A

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {        OutputSched outputSched = new OutputSched();    }private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
        OutputSched outputSched = new OutputSched();
        OutputSched.display("userdata");
        // this will call the method and display ur form
    }

@saideepak89 I tried the code but I got this error:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.UnsupportedOperationException: Not yet implemented
at OutputSched.display(OutputSched.java:18)
at Input.jButton1ActionPerformed(Input.java:224)
at Input.access$000(Input.java:15)..

The error is actually longer, but I only copied the top lines. So what does this mean exactly? How do I correct this error?

[JamesCherrill]

It says that the display method in OutputSched (at line 18) throws a "not yet implementd" exception. Look at that code to see why.
Most probably that's a method that you still have to write.
