Java...again. :(

Quaunaut

<div class="IPBDescription">I know, I know, I suck</div> Okay. All I'm wanting to do is launch one window from another window. How would I go about doing this?

I know(obviously) how to launch it, now its just how to launch one window from another. As is I'm getting this error:

So take that as you will. If you need the actual code, here ya go(skip past this if you already know the answer). And ignore my mass amount of spacers o.o

It's been a while since I programmed in Java so if I am wrong forgive me.

Since runHireDriver is in the class of hiredriverwindow, should it be able to create a new instance of the class it is in? That seems to be a loop.

Also it seems that the compiler can't find the method setDefaultCloseOperation(int) in the hiredriverwindow class. Do you need hiredriverwindow to extend something because you don't have it written there?

Quaunaut

Wow. Simply extending it basically fixed it. GG booksnotexplaininganything.

But for some odd reason, this new frame that is opened has both it's frame, and the original frame, combined into one.

Zel

thats because you made a new frame. the code is doing exactly as its told!

and please learn to read errors <!--emo&:p--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif' /><!--endemo--> the exception said right there that it cant find the method so-and-so within the class so-and-so

means the class doesnt ahve the method. fine, give it the method by having it extend a superclass JFrame.

and argh! why are there so many global variables?! you only need globals for things that will be referenced by the whole program, otherwise the frames shouldnt care what the name of every two-spacer label is!!

Quaunaut

Don't get mad: Educate. Realize I'm learning this from a class, and the teacher is barely a few days ahead of us.

Hibame

If the teacher is only a few days ahead of you, you might wanna read ahead a few days and out smart him by asking questions he doesnt know the answers too =P <!--emo&::nerdy::--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/nerd-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='nerd-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

You talk as if I haven't done this already numerous times XD

I've read the entirety of the two books we've done. <!--emo&:(--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/sad-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='sad-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Out of interest, why do you have the price of the cars seperate to the Car class? It is much better from an OOP viewpoint to include it in the class. Also it is standard practice to name classes with a capital letter at the start to distinguish them from primitive types. Therefore, the class should be called Car not car.

I haven't done much with Swing so couldn't help you with your problem, but that's a couple of things that I came up with whilst skimming through your code. Good luck with your learning!

I can't let you waste so much time on those spacers. Sorry.

Have a gander at <a href='http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/spring.html' target='_blank'>SpringLayout</a>. It lets you place components in relation to other components. Much better than most of the layouts.

Could you also post what the exercise is? I get an idea from the code, obviously, but it would be nice to know the exact problem.

Ah, yeah. I haven't 'cleaned' the problem up yet. That was actually the first thing I did in the program- didn't even have the thought at the time to make a 'car' class until the next day! <!--emo&:D--><img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/biggrin-fix.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='biggrin-fix.gif' /><!--endemo-->

Snidely: Looks interesting. Thanks for the linkage o.o

Its not a excercise: Its the end-year project. Yeah, pretty basic class, eh?
