passing string

[randy butler]

Ranchers, i need to pass a string from my main form to my edit form not sure how to start.

 private void EditjButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
EditRecord dialog = new EditRecord(new javax.swing.JFrame(), true);
    dialog.addWindowListener(new java.awt.event.WindowAdapter() {
 int n = PartToolOrderTable.getSelectedRow();
      String id = (String)PartToolOrderTable.getValueAt(n, 0); 
public void windowClosing(java.awt.event.WindowEvent e) {
            System.exit(0);
        }
    });
    dialog.setVisible(true);
    
    
} 

so I want to pass id to my edit class.

thanks

There are several problems with your code- the first being that you nested a method inside a method.

public void myFirstMethod() {

     //do stuff plus this other method which is illegal!
     public void mySecondMethod() {
        //do stuff
     }
}

If I was going to pass something to you I would do 2 things- 1. call you to tell you 2. pass it

//create main form
MyMainForm mform = new MyMainForm("passing value");

//create edit form
MyEditForm eform = new MyEditForm();

//call and pass value
eform.setValue( mform.getValue() );

eric, thanks for the reply i fixed the method

 private void EditjButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {                                             
        try {
// TODO add your handling code here:
            int n = PartToolOrderTable.getSelectedRow();
            String id = (String)PartToolOrderTable.getValueAt(n, 0);
            System.out.print(id);
            
            EditRecord dialog = new EditRecord(new javax.swing.JFrame(), true);
            dialog.addWindowListener(new java.awt.event.WindowAdapter() {
            });
            dialog.setVisible(true);
          
        } catch (Exception ex) {
            Logger.getLogger(testframe.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
        }
    
    
}   

just a bit confused with your example dealing with

# //call and pass value
# eform.setValue( mform.getValue() );

thanks

Maybe try something like this

in your edit form : -

  public class EditRecord extends javax.swing.JFrame {
       public EditRecord(String id) {
        initComponents();
    }  

Then when you want to pass to that form you can pass like : -

  new EditRecord(stringToPass).setVisible(true);

Bredon, Thanks for the reply but I figured it out
