Thread: Shutdown Timer

Using the following code how would I start the timer when the button is clicked and how would I set the timer with the input time?

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class JShutdownTimer extends JPanel {
   private static final String INTRO = "intro";
   private static final String USED_BEFORE = "Shutting Down";
   private CardLayout cardLayout = new CardLayout();
   private JLabel countDownLabel = new JLabel("", SwingConstants.CENTER);
   private JLabel lblHours = new JLabel("Hours to shutdown:", SwingConstants.CENTER);
   private JLabel lblMinutes = new JLabel("Minutes to shutdown:", SwingConstants.CENTER);
   private JLabel lblStatus = new JLabel("Status:");
   private JLabel lblWelcome = new JLabel("Welcome", SwingConstants.CENTER);
   private JTextField txtHours = new JTextField();
   private JTextField txtMinutes = new JTextField();
   private JButton btnRun = new JButton("Run");
 
   public JShutdownTimer() {
 
      JPanel introPanel = new JPanel();
      introPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 200));
      introPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(8, 1));
      lblStatus.setFont(new Font("Dialog", 1, 15));
      introPanel.add(lblWelcome);
 
      // hours label, textbox and validation
      lblHours.setFont(new Font("Dialog", 1, 15));
      introPanel.add(lblHours);
      txtHours.setFont(new Font("Dialog", 1, 15));
      introPanel.add(txtHours);
      txtHours.addKeyListener(new KeyAdapter() {
          public void keyTyped(KeyEvent e) {
              char c = e.getKeyChar();
              if (!((c >= '0') && (c <= '9') ||
                      (c == KeyEvent.VK_BACK_SPACE) ||

                  getToolkit().beep();
                  e.consume();
              }
          }
      });

Hello.
Timer object expects time in milli seconds.
You should remove the statement new HurdlerTimer(this).start() from where you kept it originally and write it before Shutdown.shutdown() in the RunClass' actionPerformed().
The statement should be new HurdlerTimer(JShutdownTimer.this).start(intTotalMi nutes*60*1000).
Change the start() of HurdlerTimer class to start(int timer).
Then the next statement will be new Timer(timer,....).

Let me know if it will work.

Thanks,
Syed.

Thanks but the code's going all screwy, looks like I'll just have to leave the timer out.
