    Post Help with elections program

    Hey guys..I am not able to find the solution of the problem in my applet. It displays the buttons for only one category and it is not going ahead with the program.
    Please help me find the problem and solution...
    My program is.....

    import java.awt.*;     //Basic hierarchy of packages for native GUI components
    import java.applet.*;    //Package for creating an applet
    import java.awt.event.*; 
    import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
    public  class App extends Applet implements MouseListener

    it is not going ahead with the program.
    Please explain what happens when you execute the program.
    What do you do and what does the program do in response?
    What do you want the program to do differently?


    Please copy and paste here the full text of any error messages.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    When I execute..The Label Vidya Valley School Elections is displayed.
    The label Head Boy is also displayed and along with it 4 buttons are also displayed.
    If I click on the first button nothing happens...I have a given a condition in the method mouseClicked(MouseEvent e), I'm not sure if it is right
    The program doesn't execute anything further on clicking the buttons
    I want the program to display the next set of buttons for the label: Head Girl.

    If I click on the first button nothing happens.
    Is the listener called when you click on the button? Add a call to println() in the listener method to print out a message when the listener is called. Then if the message is printed you'll know the listener was called.

    Normally you use an ActionListener with buttons to detect when they are clicked.

    I have tried printing a message but nothing happens..I guess the listener is not being called.
    Should I convert it to ActionListener?

    Where did you put the println() statement? In what methods? Where did move and click the mouse?

    Yes you should use ActionListeners with buttons.

    I put the println() statement in mouseClicked method.
    I clicked the mouse on the buttons

    There should be something printed out when the mouse was clicked.
    What about all the other mouse listener methods? Did you add printlns there?

    Where did you look to see what was printed?

    Here is some of what I see when the code is executed and the mouse moved:

    Okay I have no idea what you did...but now I made a similar coded class with ActionListener
    It is pretty much the same just without the other methods that were there for mouseListener.
    Also..what did you do that got you this above code?

    I added println statements to all the mouse listener methods.
    When I executed the program and moved the mouse over the window, the above messages were printed out.

    Do you see any of the messages that the program prints out? For example this one:
    Applet Starting

    If not, then you are not looking in the right place to see the print outs. In a browser, the print outs are shown in the browser's java console.

    I added println statements to all the mouse listener methods.
    When I executed the program and moved the mouse over the window, the above messages were printed out.

    Do you see any of the messages that the program prints out? For example this one:
    Applet Starting

    If not, then you are not looking in the right place to see the print outs. In a browser, the print outs are shown in the browser's java console.
    I see the message Applet Starting in the terminal window. I am using the applet viewer.
    Now that I have made the program into ActionListener, what difference does it make and yet the buttons are not being clicked.

    Your println in the listener will only be called if the if statement is true. You are assuming you have coded the if correctly.

    Add a println statement first thing in the listener method without any if statements to prevent it being executed.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I am pretty sure the if statement is correct...
    If I add a println statement in the listener method nothing happens.
    Is this because I am viewing it in applet viewer?

    You need to change the way you are testing so that the console screen remains open so you can see the debug output.
    How are you executing the program?

    I simply view the applet and try to change the syntax if the program is not running.
    How should I execute the program?

    How do you execute the program you use to execute the applet?
    Why does the "screen of the console, it opens and closes instantly"?
    Please explain what you do step by step.

    The screen of the console opens and closes immediately...no idea.
    After compiling the code I run the applet. I make a note of what is being displayed and what is not.
    I add a code to see if the button is being clicked.
    If it works I try to design the rest of the program.
    I am having a bit of trouble with the syntax.

    I use BlueJ and after compiling I run the applet by right-clicking the class.
    I go to My Computer/Java/Jdk/Bin/Java.consoleto open the console

    To keep the console open, get out of BLuej.
    open a command prompt console, issues commands to change to the folder with the html file that executes the applet and enter:

    appletviewer TheHtmlThatExecutesTheApplet.html

    When the appletviewer exits the command prompt window will still be open and you will be able to read what is displayed there.
