Thread: JTextfield

Hi just a quick question here.

im doing an electronic bandit assignment and when you win the payout is added to a JTextfield called winnings.

i also have a Jbutton that allows you to transfer the winnings to the balance so you can carry on playing.

The problem im having is that once i have transfered the winnings to the balance, the JTextfield that stores the winnings amount still shows the amount of winnings i previously had instead of reseting back to 0 and starting again.

How do i go about this?

sorry for being a pain but i dont have a clue what you mean. This is the code i have so far for that bit

 if (event.getSource()==btnTransfer){
			balance = balance + winnings;
			txtBalance.setText(balance +"");
			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You have transferred  " +winnings+"p");
		}
 
		if (event.getSource()==btnTransfer){
			winnings =0;
		}
 
		if (event.getSource()==btnTransfer){
			winnings =0;
			btnTransfer.setEnabled(false);
			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"You now have no winnings to transfer!!!");

ahhh thank you ever so much. For some reason is putting a + before and it kept adding a 0. Thats why i was getting confused.

Again thanks alot
