Changing A Order?
If I have a project (pizza delivery for example) and I have already set it up so that the user can make an order, which includes pizza topping, size, etc. If I want to allow the option to change the order, as in go back to any point in the ordering process and start again, how would I do that?

Re: Changing A Order?
This isn't really a question we can answer, because it's going to depend entirely on the context of your program. Is it a gui program? A command line program? A website? Something else? Which part of it is giving you trouble?

Re: Changing A Order?
Basically Im writing a Java Application on NetBeans IDE 7.4. I am pretty new to Java and it was hard enough to get to where I am right now. I just don't really know how to create the option for the user to edit a order they have already made.
***EDIT***
Is there a code which would allow me to take the customer back to the beginning of the "add new order" which they select change order?
Re: Changing A Order?
Again, this entirely depends on your program, and not on your IDE. Is it a command line application? A Swing gui? Something else?
There isn't a magic "go back" function in Java, but you might be able to accomplish what you want with a loop (for a command line program) or a CardLayout (for a Swing gui).
Alternatively, you might have to create a new part of your program for the feature allowing users to edit an existing order. Again, how you do that is going to depend entirely on the type of program you're writing.

Re: Changing A Order?
Does your program currently have a menu? If so, add an "Edit" option. If not, then add a menu that includes an Edit option.
If a GUI, there may not be an obvious menu, but there should be options the user chooses to add toppings, drinks, place the order, etc. Once an order has been placed, then the user might be presented with after-ordering options to find the order by name or number and then edit it (if it's not already in the oven).
As KW has so patiently stated, you need to tell us more about what you have in order for us to help you change it or add to it in a way that makes sense. Why the mystery?
Re: Changing A Order?
Oh yep sorry its a GUI.

Thats what I had in mind I just don't have much experience so I wasn't really sure how to go about it.Originally Posted by KevinWorkman
Re: Changing A Order?
If you created a gui for placing orders in the first place, the process of creating a gui for editing orders is going to be about the same.
