Java in NetBeans. Next, Previous Buttons help!!!!!!

[Light Mike]

Ok here's the deal.
I'm new to netbeans, so i don'y know too much about it and im new to java guis as well. But i have a project to complete in like 2 weeks and i have encountered a big problem. i tried to find an answer elsewhere but the moving from one form to another was not shown clearly.
I have an app for inputting child registration details. This is given in multiple forms. They have next and prev buttons and i want when next is clicked to go to a certain form and vice versa. Here is the code for tthree forms.

for Form 1

Seems to me that your are trying to run before you can walk..
I'm not going to give you the code you need - you'll learn nothing that way - but I can tell you you need to implement the various jButtonnActionPerformed methods. and that you will need to use the keyword 'new'

I'm not going to read through all your code... I have a job.

But if I were doing a project like this I would create my "wizard"
panels (myPanel1, myPanel2....). Then I would display them in a main
window with BorderLayout as follows:

mainPanel.setVisible(false);
mainPanel.removeAll();
mainPanel.add(myPanel2, BorderLayout.CENTER);
mainPanel.setVisible(true);

You will have to develop logic to know which panel is currently
displayed and determine which panel to display next based on which
button is pressed. For example my first idea is to put a reference to
each panel in an ArrayList. Then when the backward button is pressed
get the reference x-1 from the ArrayList. Don't forget to check that
the index range is valid. If you get the reference at
ArrayList.get(-1) you've got a problem to fix.

But please be reminded, as others have pointed out, this is a Java
question and has nothing to do with Netbeans. Work some of the GUI
tutorials at the links you have been provided until you understand the
concepts. Then it will be easier to understand what services the
Platform is providing for you.

Hope the pseudo code helps you understand the basic concept. And good
luck with your project.

Dear friend,

I truly believe (on my understanding) you are looking for help with Java
development.
I don't want to disappoint you, but you will have to learn first:

- OOP (Object Oriented Programming): bare bone programming (language,
syntax and libraries)
- Programming logic, process oriented activities and information
workflow (algorithms, programming flow, UI design)
- At least understand few programming patterns that will easy your life
(MVC, Observer, Listener)

After that you will realize that using an IDE may be or may not make
things easier.

Now:
a) If you are playing a programming course that you have paid for, then
ask guidance to your instructor.
b) If you left your school work for too late, I'm sorry. Best thing you
can do is learn with and start early in future.
c) When you need help with programming, best option is to look for a
programmer near by you, most people in this list have their own job to
get done, and try to help (under certain limits) each other with
NetBeans issues (normally not with programming issues).

So, if you have a NetBeans question, this is the list (moderator can
pull my ear if I lie). If it's related to NetBeans platform development,
then there is an specific list.
Otherwise, you may have luck to get a gentle soul that have time to try
to understand your code and help. Otherwise, you may be wasting time.

I hope this helps,

Edson.

You paid 120 pounds for a class? I'd think that the instructor could
help, since you paid him or her for it. We didn't get paid, so it's
not exactly our problem, is it?

Honest attempt to help: maybe the reason you don't understand anything
is you are trying to get other people to do your work for you, rather
than doing your own work. Seriously, how do you expect to learn?

Ah-h-h. Sorry about that Glenn (and others)! Never even thought
about that...concentrating on how to help with direction but not give
a Java/Swing lesson that is better learned from study and doing the
assignment. My apologies to the list members.

I'm am MBCS - can you tell me more about the project - who is providing the course/training - have they been accredited by BCS? ... You should be getting tutor support if you have paid for the project.

BTW... I came close to giving you the code in my previous posting.

[Light Mike]

no problem now i decided to go with a menu option

[bolsover]

I can't see how you are going to be better off with a menu rather than a button - the code you need to implement is the same in both cases.
