Super Bowl Tickets

**Jonathanoty** · January 26th, 2011, 10:37 AM

So, I am in a Java Programming Intro class, and for whatever reason I am just stuck on our final project. Basically I need this to work. It looks exactly as it should so far. We are supposed to use the actionPerformed method to make it work, and make the results show up on a new window, and it's supposed to look like this;

Event: Super Bowl 2011
Issued to: <Name>
Quantity: <NumberOfTickets>
Section: <Whicheveronetheychose>
Ticket Charge: $<Calculated Value>
Delivery Charge: $<10 or zero>
Total Charged: $<Calculated Value>

Here is what I have so far;

public class TicketApp extends JApplet
{
    private int x;
 
    JLabel sbtLabel;
    JLabel name;
    JLabel tickets;
    JLabel section;
 
    JTextField nametext;
    JTextField tickettext;
    JComboBox sectionbox;
    JCheckBox express;
    JButton submit;
 
    public void init()
    {
        setLayout( new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
        sbtLabel = new JLabel("<HTML><FONT SIZE=+1>Super Bowl Tickets 2011</FONT>");
        name = new JLabel("<HTML>Enter Name");
        nametext = new JTextField(12);
        tickets = new JLabel("<HTML>Number of Tickets");
        tickettext = new JTextField(4);
        section = new JLabel("<HTML>Choose a Section");
        sectionbox = new JComboBox();
        sectionbox.addItem ("Club Box ($400)");
        sectionbox.addItem ("Lower Deck ($200)");
        sectionbox.addItem ("Upper Deck ($150)");
        express = new JCheckBox("Express Delivery? (add $10)");
        submit = new JButton("Submit Order");
 
        add (sbtLabel);
        add (name);
        add (nametext);
        add (tickets);
        add (tickettext);
        add (section);
        add (sectionbox);
        add (express);
        add (submit);
 
 
    }

So yeah, any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Jonathan Oty

the way i would do it is put a series of if statements in the actionperformed method:

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
String mystr = new String("");
 
if(e.getsource==nametext)
{
mystr = nametext.getText();
// then have another class called to open a frame with a windowListener to close it when the x is clicked
}
 
// do with the other textboxes via 'else if'
}

i hope you get the jist of what im getting at

What exactly is the question? Just mentioning you are stuck does not give us much information to point you in the right direction. See the following tutorial for how to use ActionListeners: How to Write an Action Listener

Well thanks both of you for the help, I didn't really have any specific questions I was just lost, but I worked through most of it. The program isn't very pretty, but I'm ok with it, now my last question is how to properly format the message windows with each piece of info on a separate line. If i could figure that out I would be greatly appreciative.

how to properly format the message windows with each piece of info on a separate line

Separate each line with a new line char
