Thread: Refreshing Variables Displayed on a JPanel

I have a small app used to display a score for two players and area to put in scores that should be taken away from the total, for use in a game of darts.

I have a button that when pressed, initiates a small piece of code to add up the three scores and take them away from the total, however, the total remains at the starting 501 on the JPanel and the scores are not deducted.

I have printed the value out to make sure that it is working as it should which works fine.

Any help would be appreciated and just shout if you would like to see some code.

Many thanks in advance, Rob.

Okay, here is the if statement after the click takes place on the "Ok" button, this is what I believe to be relevant:

@Override
		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) 
		{
			// TODO Auto-generated method stub
			if(e.getSource () == button1)
			{
				String Player1T1 = P1T1.getText();
				String Player1T2 = P1T2.getText();
				String Player1T3 = P1T3.getText();
 
				int P1Throw1 = Integer.parseInt(Player1T1);
				int P1Throw2 = Integer.parseInt(Player1T2);
				int P1Throw3 = Integer.parseInt(Player1T3);
 
				P1Total = P1Throw1 + P1Throw2 + P1Throw3;
				P1S = 501 - P1Total;
			}

I am sure that what I am doing is long winded, P1S is the score variable and in the code above this, it is an int set to 501 and then parsed to a string to be displayed on the JPanel.

Okay, thank you, I will do some more research of my own before re-posting. I think what I am struggling to find out is how to change items on the JPanel once the button has been clicked, I know how to make a Dialogue Box appear with relevant information but not to change the original Panel.

Thank you for the link. For now, I will set this as solved.

Ahh I see, sorry for the misunderstanding
I will give it a go in the morning :-)
Many thanks for your help and links!
