Ok so I'm not too familiar with the gimmicks of JOptionPane, but basically I'm trying to just call in a dialog box but it keeps on messing up badly when there are constructor statements in-between or before. take a look..
import java.util.Scanner; //imports Scanner class from util package; takes input from the user
import javax.swing.JOptionPane; //imports JOptionPane dialog box class package
public class Proj5
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
String sName, sInput;
int iMenuChoice;
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "\t\tWelcome to the Advising Manager!"
+ "\n---------- Created by Dr. Bailey and Sanford Gabrielle ----------"
, "Message", 1);
sName = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "What is the advisor's name?", "Input", 3);
Advisee a1 = new Advisee();
Advisee a2 = new Advisee();
Advisee a3 = new Advisee();
while(true)
{
sInput = JOptionPane.showInputDialog(null, "~~ Please make a selection from the menu below ~~\n\n"
+ "1. Add a new advisee" + "\n2. Update an advisee's information"
+ "\n\n3. Display all advisees" + "\n4. Display advisees who are cleared to graduate"
+ "\n5. Exit" + "\n\n\nWhat is your selection?", "Input", 3);
sInput = sInput.trim();
iMenuChoice = Integer.parseInt(sInput);
int iAdviseeCounter = 0;
switch(iMenuChoice)
When it gets to the menu it messes up and does not even display a dialog box. I have no idea why the default constructor creation statements are interfering. It seems to be failing at the
Advisee a1 = new Advisee();
Advisee a2 = new Advisee();
Advisee a3 = new Advisee();
FYI... there is no error message for my problem. The problem is SIMPLY: THE CONSTRUCTOR STATEMENTS PREVENT THE NEXT DIALOG BOXES FOLLOWING IN THE PROGRAM FROM EVEN APPEARING.
Oh wow. sorry guys heres the Advisee.java
