Thread: how to merge my OO with GUI

okay i'm rather a freshman to java programming, and is self learning by the way.
i recently learn how to make GUI, and now i'm trying to learn how to merge the function into the GUI.
the readwrite program was written earlier on and the learningGUIi is the latest gui i done wanting to merge with.
so how do i get function in readwrite to merge the learning GUI.
the only function i manage to done is the exiting, the rest seems complicated to me.
so can anyone teach me ?

Hi Firstly to get to grips with GUI's use netbeans or eclipse (with the jigloo GUI plugin) What you then aim to do is call methods just like you would in your main program. To do this you could add the following code to the click event of a button.

readwrite readWrite = new readwrite(); // add any args that are needed between the ()
readWrite. newcus(data, a, line, order);

So the program always uses the same class decalre the class reawrite as public so the entire scope of the class can access it then just call readWrite where appropriate.

On a side note always ensure class's start with capital letters and variables with lowercase with the second word being uppercase such as 'readWrite'; hope this helps a bit, cheers
