Passing data between dialogs

:confused:

I can't seem to find an example of this anywhere on the internet.

1. I have a java application.
2. This application creates a dialog with text fields on it.
3. I want to return the data in the text fields on the dialog -back to the application.
4. I can create the application. I can create the dialog. When the user presses an OK button, I want the data entered into the fields on the dialog to populate variables in the application...
5. I can't find an example of this anywhere...

Can anyone help?

You should notify the volunteers on this forum that you've cross-posted this question elsewhere. You have notified the volunteers at the Sun forums that you've cross-posted here, right? If not, you may draw their ire as well, trust me.

hmm.. so you don't know how to do it either? That's too bad. I was hoping to find someone that had done it before.

Sure insult me if you wish, but yes, I know how to do this, and I replied to you in your cross-post. You should search the Swing forum, and you can find my posts (or better Camickr's) that show how to do this.

The reason we don't like cross-posts though is we're volunteers and our time is precious: we don't like to do futile work. How would you feel if you spent 20-30 min of your free time creating an answer for a poster only to find out that a similar solution was posted in a cross-post hours earlier, that you just wasted a bunch of time for nothing? You'd not help that poster again is what would likely happen.

Your choice.

I knew it was you.

I didn't insult you, I ignored your snarky comment to me. If you don't like the question, then don't answer it. You didn't have to run all over the internet with your panties in a wad posting crap to me on two different Java forums.

I'm just looking for an answer to my question, not a flame war. All you had to say was "check the swing forums".

I've been reading example code for two days, I figured it was time to ask "politely" if anyone had a suggestion. What I got back wasn't polite.

To anyone else who wants to see some solutions, please look here:


to the op, please keep complaining.

edit: explorer malfunction. the link is here:New To Java - Transfering data from a dialog to the parent

Funny that these crazy coots aver that there's nothing wrong with cross posting, then get all het up when someone points it out.

Inconsistent, wot?
