refreshing my Buttons after executing an action

[hariza]

Hi,

I wonder what do I need to do to refresh my GUI scrollPanes everytime I execute an action. For example I have the code below:

purchaseButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
				if (e.getActionCommand().equals("PURCHASE") && user != null && stationFrom != null && stationTo != null
						&& startTime != null && endTime != null) {

					 else {

						text.setText("PURCHASE SELECTED");
						new buyJourneyforUser(user, stationFrom, stationTo, startTime, endTime, n1);
						userList.setRequestFocusEnabled(false);
						stationListFrom.setRequestFocusEnabled(true);
				}	
				}
			}
		});

Then execute the buyJourneyforUser() but going back to the menu the same selection still on. What do I need to do to reset that back to non-selection. Thanks for your help in advance.

perhaps some thing like:

<your container object>.repaint();
<your container object>.validate();

To get better help sooner, post a SSCCE that clearly demonstrates where you have a problem.

ok thanks. Actually I tried the repaint and validate but didn't work for me. Also I was hoping that setting the setSelectedIndex(-1) would do the trick but is not working either.

I like Darryl's idea, creating and posting an SSCCE

Hi Again,

Here below is how I define the listeners :

		stationListFrom.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {
			public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent evt) {
				text.setText("" + stationListFrom.getSelectedValue());
				stationFrom = text.getText();
			}

		});
		stationListTo.addListSelectionListener(new ListSelectionListener() {

			public void valueChanged(ListSelectionEvent evt) {
				text.setText("" + stationListTo.getSelectedValue());
				stationTo = text.getText();
			}

		});

Then after I pressed the purchase button:

purchaseButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
			public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
				while (e.getActionCommand().equals("PURCHASE")) {

					if (n1.Users.get(user).getMytiCredit() == 0) {
						text.setText("You need to recharge your Myti card first");
						break;
					}

	
					if (e.getActionCommand().equals("PURCHASE") && user != null
							&& stationListFrom.getSelectedIndex() != -1 && stationListTo.getSelectedIndex() != -1
							&& HoursListStart.getSelectedIndex() != -1 && MinutesListStart.getSelectedIndex() != -1
							&& HoursListEnd.getSelectedIndex() != -1 && HoursListEnd.getSelectedIndex() != -1) {
						text.setText("PURCHASE SELECTED");
						text.setText(user + stationFrom + stationTo + startTimeHour + endTimeHour);
						n1.buyJourneyforUser(user, stationFrom, stationTo, startTimeHour, startTimeMinutes,
								startTimeHourNum, startTimeMinutesNum, endTimeHour, endTimeMinutes, endTimeHourNum,
								endTimeMinutesNum, n1);
						stationListFrom.setSelectedIndex(-1);
						stationListTo.setSelectedIndex(-1);
						HoursListStart.setSelectedIndex(-1);
						MinutesListStart.setSelectedIndex(-1);
						HoursListStart.setSelectedIndex(-1);
						HoursListEnd.setSelectedIndex(-1);
						break;
						// new buyJourneyforUser(user, stationFrom, stationTo,
						// startTime, endTime, n1);
						// userList.setRequestFocusEnabled(false);
						// stationListFrom.setRequestFocusEnabled(true);
						// cmd="Purchase";
					} else {
						text.setText("Please select all the options");
						break;
					}
				}
			}
		});

I was hoping to clear the previous selection otherwise the last sucessfull selection still there.

Two of us have recommended that you create and post an SSCCE, and yet, nothing. Have you read the link? You might wish to state why you've decided to ignore our advice.

Best of luck.

Sorry for the misunderstanding but I'm not ignoring your recommendations. I thought that part of the code would be good enough. Every recommendation on this forum has been so valuable to me. My Gui class is huge so that is one of the reason's I didn't want to post the whole thing. Thanks!!! :)

And we don't want you to post the whole thing either, and if you read the link, you'll know that.
