    Question Java Learning Help: JOptionPane / Listener

    Hey,

    I'm trying to learn Java (The GUI part right now), but my code won't do as intetden.
    What it should do:
    When I press enter in a field, then show the dialog (See fat text in code (Can't use FAT in code, so look at the [/B])

    My Problem
    It will only show the message in the password-part (Which I think is stupid)


    Code:

    public class EHTwo extends JFrame{
     
    	private JTextField itemOne;
    	private JTextField itemTwo;
    	private JTextField itemThree;
    	private JPasswordField passwordField;
     
    	public EHTwo(){
     
    		super("The Title");
    		setLayout(new FlowLayout());
     
    		//10 is the max length.
    		itemOne = new JTextField(10);
     
    		//This is like a PROMT
    		itemTwo = new JTextField("TRY ENTER!");
     
    		itemThree = new JTextField("Uneditebale", 20);
    		//This makes sure that the user can't edit it.
    		itemThree.setEditable(false);
     
    		//mypass is the default password
    		passwordField = new JPasswordField("mypass");
     
    		add(itemOne);
    		add(itemTwo);
    		add(itemThree);
    		add(passwordField);
     
     
    		TheHandler handler = new TheHandler();
     
     
    		itemOne.addActionListener(handler);
    		itemTwo.addActionListener(handler);
    		itemThree.addActionListener(handler);
    		passwordField.addActionListener(handler);
     
    	}
     
     
     
    	//When a class is inside another class, then it will INHERITANCE all the stuff form the first.
    	private class TheHandler implements ActionListener{
     
     
    		//This has to be name actionPerformed. (ActionEvent) is the type. event is the name.
    		public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){
     
    			//This is the final string we output.
    			String string = "";
     
     
     
    			[B]//This is to check which box is clicked.[/B]
    			if(event.getSource()==itemOne){
    				//This is going to set the string.
    				string=String.format("Field One %s", event.getActionCommand());		//event.getActionCommand() means that it is gonna get the information form the "box" /point /object it's at.
    			}
    			else if(event.getSource()==itemTwo){
    				string=String.format("Field Two %s", event.getActionCommand());
    			}
    			else if(event.getSource()==itemThree){
    				string=String.format("Field Three %s", event.getActionCommand());
    			}
    			else if(event.getSource()==passwordField){
    				string=String.format("Password Field is: %s", event.getActionCommand());
     
    			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, string);
     
    			}
     
    		}
     
    	}

    Thanks, I hope that you can read the code, if not then message me

    It will only show the message in the password-part
    The order that the code is executed is controlled by the {}s following the if statements.
    Move the code outside of the enclosing {}s to get it to execute after the last if. As it is now, it only executes when the last if is true.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    I recommend that you have a much better understanding of the basics before beginning your GUI study.
