how to find out the constructor?

[kishor patankar]

Hi!!! Friends,
I would be appreciate if u help. Let me example u what i am looking for for.
public class Test
{
TextField theTextField = new TextField(10);
new Test1(theString);
}
=========
public class Test1
{
Test(TextField theField)
}
Ok!!! Now I want to know the constructor of the `theField' which is TextField(10). how to get the result?
Thanks,
Kishor

Kishor,
I am not sure what you are asking...
Are you asking how you can get a constructor to set the TextField in the class, and inherit it from the parent class?

public class Test
{
    TextField theTextField;
    Test( TextField t )
    {
        theTextField = t;
    }
}
=================================
public class Test1 extends Test
{
    Test1( TextField t )
    {
        super( t );
    }
    public static void main( String[] args )
    {
        Test1 t1 = new Test1( new TextField( 10 ) );
    }
}

Is this what you were looking for?
HTH,

I THINK this is what you are asking

// TextField needs to be in a GUI somewhere

import java.awt.*;
class Test extends Frame 
{ 
public Test(){
    TextField theTextField = new TextField("This is in the TextField");
    add(theTextField);
    
 
    setSize(400,300);
    setVisible(true);
    String theString = theTextField.getText();  //grab what is in the TextField;
    Test1 t1 = new Test1(theString);  //Make this just for fun
  }
   public static void main(String args[]){
    Test t = new Test();
   }
} 
//========= 
// note that in Test we are calling the contents theString, but here you are calling the same string theField.
class Test1 
   { 
   Test1(String theField){
      System.out.println("In the constuctor for Test1");
      System.out.println("The value of the string is " + theField);
    } 
} 

If you want to print the contents of the textField AFTER the user puts something else in it, then you need to -maybe a button to show that they are done, or you could add a Listener to find when the field is full, but it will be more complicated.
