JButton doesn't disappear when it is supposed to?

[ecliptical]

Hi guys, sorry for all of the posting lately but I've been working non stop on my program.

The problem for this part of my GUI is that when one button is clicked, another is supposed to show up (which works fine). But when that second button is clicked, it is supposed to disappear (which does not work). Here's the coding.

    panel5 = new JPanel();
    //Panel for getting info on student
    studentNameLabel2 = new JLabel("Student Info is displayed here");
    studentInfo = new JTextArea();
    studentInfo.setColumns(40);
    studentInfo.setLineWrap(true);
    studentInfo.setRows(36);
    studentInfo.setWrapStyleWord(true);
    studentInfo.setEditable(false);
    studentInfoScroll = new JScrollPane(studentInfo);
    studentInfoScroll.createVerticalScrollBar();
    editStuds = new JButton("Edit Students");
    editStuds.addActionListener(this);
    doneStudEdit = new JButton("Done Editing");
    doneStudEdit.setVisible(false);

    panel5.add(studentNameLabel2);
    panel5.add(studentInfoScroll);
    panel5.add(studentInfo);
    panel5.add(editStuds);
    panel5.add(doneStudEdit);

 public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
  {
 if (e.getSource() == editStuds)
    {
      doneStudEdit.setVisible(true);
      studentInfo.setEditable(true);
      if(e.getSource() == doneStudEdit)
      {
        doneStudEdit.setVisible(false);
        studentInfo.setEditable(false);
      }
    }

Thanks in advance!

Do you revalidate and repaint the container?

Other options: keep one button but change the text.

Whoops, problem solved. I forgot to add an action listener to the button. Silly mistake.
Thanks for the input though Fubarable!

You're welcome, but it sounds like you need to spend more time debugging and less time posting. :rolleyes:

Indeed. :)
