Thread: tripple for loop problem

so i'm having 3 for loops inside each other. First for loop will be for the panels creation, Second for loop is for the labels and the third for loop is for the JTextFields

I have a tabbedPane with tabs Monday - Friday. Under each tab i wish it to be set out like this:

MONDAY - TextBox
MONDAY - TextBox
MONDAY - TextBox

Tuesday will of course be TUESDAY etc.. here is the code for the for loop:

 public void panelSetup(){
	  for(int i = 1; i <= 6; i++){
		  panel[i] = new Panel();		  
 
		  for(int f = 0; f < 5; f++){
			  panel[i].add(arrLabel[f][0]);
 
		  for(int x = 0; x <= 8; x++){
 
 
			  txtBox[x] = new JTextField("", 10);
			  panel[i].add(txtBox[x]); 
 
			  }
 
		  }
 
	  }
 
  }

The problem is that it seems to be adding up the ammount of text boxes per tab and displaying them in each tab. so instead of 9 textfields its displaying 45 per tab. and the JLabel is displaying only on the final tab which is displaying 1 of each day before that tabs 9 textboxes start. image provided below..

What layout manager are you using? It looks like flow. If you want a grid, you should use a layout manager that will create a grid.

was actualy planning on using spring layout

Is it working for you?

i am about to give it a test ive just finished the technical document for the project. will post here with results shortly

seem to have fixed the problem. just had to sit and think i had ended up using

if (i % 7 == 6) { a++; }

seemed to work perfectly. seems all i have left is the calculations as i have just completed the file reading/writing. although the calculations i shall do myself. thanks for the help you've given me norm . i think u do deserve a thanks even if i was extremely lazy to debug myself lol ^^
