select item from combobox and continue to new window

[brunjoo]

hi,

we have to make a java program for our exams but we have problems with our combobox.

(We use netbeans 6.8 - gui builder)

We have to select a book we want to read from a combobox ( linked to our access database ). if we select a book and click proceed, we have to view our book in a new gui window, with the tekst of our book.

but we are unable to do this. someone familiar with this?

thanks!

Ditch the GUI builder.

Can't you just create and show a new JFrame containing whatever you want in the "proceed" button's ActionListener?

i don't think so. we aren't that familiar with java, it's a part of our curriculum, we study economy.

i'll try to explain how it works:

in our combox we have several book titles ( these titles can be updated anytime, because people can write new books and delete books - but that's not our part of the programming )
if we select a book title, java has to search the correspondent book title in access and get the text and has to display it on a new window.

i can send you our project if necessary

Okay, so which part of this are you having trouble with? Break your problem up into smaller pieces and tackle one piece at a time.

Absolutely not. Read this: SSCCE.

BoekLezen(String numero)
{

initComponents();
this.setTitle("Boek Lezen");
int bknummer = Integer.parseInt(numero);

jLabel1.setText("Welkom, " + bknummer);
}


Instead of Welkom, " + bknummer i want to use bknummer to connect to my database and find corresponding data according to this number.
and then he has to display it on jLabel1

is it possible to use a code you can use within jLabel1.setText(.... ) ?
