I am trying to make a simple dialog box in Beanshell - it should read the contents of three editable text fields and, on button press, carry out a simple task accordingly. I am totally stumped by an error that I am getting where I cannot read the text in some of the fields.
Here’s the code:
// Set up the text fields
textField_Y= new JFormattedTextField();
textField_Y.setValue(150);
textField_Y.setColumns(4);
textField_Y.setEditable(true);
textField_X= new JFormattedTextField();
textField_X.setValue(0);
textField_X.setColumns(4);
textField_X.setEditable(true);
textField_n= new JFormattedTextField();
textField_n.setValue(20);
textField_n.setColumns(4);
textField_n.setEditable(true);
button = new JButton("Generate Stage Position List");
// some Code here to arrange the items within a GUI window
// Try to read the values
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
actionPerformed(ActionEvent eText) {
//Get info from dialog
yShift = textField_Y.getText();
xShift = textField_X.getText();
nPos = Integer.parseInt(textField_n.getText());
print(xshift+" "+yshift+" "+nPos);
});
I run this and the dialog box displays correctly. I don’t change any values, just click the button, and it should print “150 0 20”. Instead it prints “void void 20”. I don’t have the faintest clue why one field is returning a correct number and the other two are returning void. They should all be identical! Can anyone help?
First, looking at this code...
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
actionPerformed(ActionEvent eText) {
//Get info from dialog
yShift = textField_Y.getText();
xShift = textField_X.getText();
nPos = Integer.parseInt(textField_n.getText());
print(xshift+" "+yshift+" "+nPos);
});
yShift
!= yshift
and xShift
!= xshift
. Remember, Java is case sensitive.
I would also recommend making use of getValue
instead of getText
