Switching between panels

[Beautifullove09]

HI, I'm new to java and I need help with this project that i'm working on. I would like to press the next button to go to another panel but i don't know how to do that. Also i would like make it so that is one or multiple radiobuttons is un-pressed it doesn't display the message "You've order..." How do I do this. Please I only have a few more hours to work on doing this. Thanks.

Switching between JPanels is a job for CardLayout.

You're going to have to add a listener that detects when a radio button is selected, then take the appropriate action.

[Beautifullove09]

That's exactly what i did in the code for the radio button. My problem is not with the radio button but with the JButton. I want nextButton to go to a new panel. How would I do this without making all of the buttons do this?

[KevinWorkman]

Are you just asking how to do different things when different buttons are clicked?

[Beautifullove09]

Yea. I Believe so. I would like the "nextButton" to change the panel and the radioButtons to add a string of their own and save it until every thing is done. Is there a way to change my code to cardLayout?

[KevinWorkman]

You can either add the same ActionListener to each JButton, then compare the ActionEvent.getSource() to each button- it will contain a reference to the JButton that was clicked. Or you can just add a different ActionListener to each JButton.

And a quick google of "Java CardLayout" will give you the tutorial that should explain everything you need to know.
