Alright, I'm very puzzled. I get an error on compile and I can't fix it. Any ideas?

It looks like your missing two closing braces and one closing parenthesis in this method.

[HIGHLIGHT="Java"] private void jComboBox1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEve nt evt) {
jComboBox1.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
JComboBox jcmbType = (JComboBox)e.getSource();
String cmbType = (String)jcmbType.getSelectedItem();
jComboBox1ActionPerformed(evt);
} [/HIGHLIGHT]

Should be:

[HIGHLIGHT="Java"]private void jComboBox1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEve nt evt) {
jComboBox1.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
JComboBox jcmbType = (JComboBox)e.getSource();
String cmbType = (String)jcmbType.getSelectedItem();
jComboBox1ActionPerformed(evt);
}
});
} [/HIGHLIGHT]

I think.

Still not working, I get 13 errors now.

Am I missing a declaration maybe?

[John]

Do you use an IDE? You should really try out Eclipse.

I just put your code into my Eclipse and it has more than those 13 errors.

First off, in your initComponents() method there are several methods that aren't called on an object. Meaning, you never created a JFrame/Applet so you cant call the setTitle, setCursor, setLocationByPlatform methods on nothing.

Second, you declare your "global" variables [jButton1, jComboBox1, ect...] at the end of the class - they should be declared before they are used.

Third, it doesn't look like your class is actually closed.

Fourth, there are some type mismatches.

Like I said, just pop your code into eclipse and your screen will light up with red errors.

I use NetBeans and it is supposed to do the class, and the guts of the GUI by it self, I can't edit it. But I'll try out Eclipse

[John]

I never used NetBeans. I tend to try and stay away from program's that "do it" for you, that way when you are presented with a problem like this, you aren't clueless. I wasn't going to say anything about the code because I don't to criticize other developers, especially if they are new, but a lot of the code just seems backwards.

I've taken three college classes on Java and I have never seen variable deceleration at the end of the class. I don't know if thats a beans thing, but I makes no sense.

I've written several tutorials on building GUI's in the tutorials section, if you have any questions, feel free to post there.

[Victor]

It must be a NetBeans thing, b/c the only code I actually put in myself was the action events (not sure if right terminology). Everything else I just went to design. Even the class, NetBeans setup that up when I made the project. Alot of the script, NetBeans doesn't even let me edit, especially in the guts of the GUI, I can't edit it. Which is why I was so puzzled in the first place, NetBeans was supposed to take care of it. I'm going to try out Eclipse, looks pretty solid but I've haven't downloaded it yet. Thanks for all your help sidewinder!
