Trying to get everything to display in a single application

[justindill]

Need to add a JCombobox to select the user’s State of birth, and a JRadio buttons to indicate their gender. Also, add a JTextArea to the form. Once the user clicks on the JButton the application will display all of the user’s information in the JTextearea.

All the classes work properly I need to figure out how to get them to work together and properly. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Can you explain what problems you are having?

[justindill]

All the classes work properly I need to figure out how to get them to work together. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated.

I need to get them to work together or somehow combine all of them so it will works as an application. So, when a user enters their information it will display in the textfield.

[NormR1]

Do some design work with paper and pencil to figure out what the GUI should look like and then
Try some copy and pasting from the working code into the new program.

[justindill]

I have already tried working in the other parts of code and I cannot figure it out. Trust me I have been working on this all week long.

[NormR1]

Do it one step at a time. Merge one class into another and get it to compile and execute. The work on merging the next one in.

If you have code with problems, post it and your questions.

[justindill]

I will see what I can do, but you are not really assisting me in the slightest bit. No hints.

[NormR1]

Its your project. You need to work through copying the code from each class to the final project.
Do you have the design for the GUI? You will need that before you can procede.
What layout manager have you chosen to position your components in the GUI?
Then pick one class to merge into. Copy the code from another class into the one that is to be the final project.
Compile often and fix the errors. When that code from that class is merged and compiles and executes ok, pick another class and do it again. Continue until done.

I'm not sure what you mean by hints. This is mostly a copy and paste problem with a few adjustments.
