Re: drag and drop word to match image
What are those int values used for? Why are they in the testing program's constructor?
Think about what the program is supposed to do: Allow the user to drag a String from one component to another component where the String will either be accepted or rejected. When the target component is built using a constructor the String that it will use to determine acceptance must be passed to it and saved so it can be used to test with when the user drags and drops a String onto it.

Re: drag and drop word to match image
How many classes are in the program?
Forget the testing class that builds the frame that has the components added to it for the GUI.
From the other classes,
which class has the source of the dragged String.
which class is the target where the String is dragged to where it is either accepted or rejected
Both of the above classes need to have a String passed to their constructor.
The source class to define the String to drag
The target class to define the String that is to be accepted

Re: drag and drop word to match image
which class has the source of the dragged String. answer DraggableLabel
which class is the target where the String is dragged to where it is either accepted or rejected answer DropTargetTextArea
Re: drag and drop word to match image
Ok, now write the constructors for those two classes to take a String and save it for use.

Re: drag and drop word to match image
Then you need to change the one that does not take a String so that it does.

Re: drag and drop word to match image
If it doesn't need a String, then write the program without a String.why the drop target need the string
Where will the String the drop target will use for that come from?the drop target decides which string to take

Re: drag and drop word to match image
it will come from the draggablelabel class right?
Re: drag and drop word to match image
What String will be used by the DropTargetTextArea object to compare against the String from the DraggableLabel objects?

Re: drag and drop word to match image
the strings need to assigned.. i have delted that from the method.
Re: drag and drop word to match image
Where do the Strings come from?the strings need to assigned
In the final program, there can be many drop targets. Each will have a different String. How will each of those drop targets get the Strings they need?

Re: drag and drop word to match image
isit by doing what u said.. passing the strings through the constructor?
Re: drag and drop word to match image
Yes, that is how I would do it.

Re: drag and drop word to match image
That is invalid code. There should not be any "s

Re: drag and drop word to match image
See post#133 for an example of a constructor that takes a String as argument.
This is post#114Refer to post #114
What is your question about post #114?Don't be in a hurry to move the testing code into the main program. It will be easier to work out the techniques in the test program.

Re: drag and drop word to match image
Ive seen that and I understand iy but im just confused on how to implement it with code.
Do I need to delete any part of the code in post #114 or do I add to it??
