I call showOptionA() from a JButton located on another JFrame Class.
private void showEmployeesActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
Results showEmp=new Results();
//showEmp.setVisible(true);
//showEmp.setOptions(1);
Company company=new Company();
/*JTable table=company.getOptionA();
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
table.setFillsViewportHeight(true);
scrollPane.setViewportView(table);
table.setVisible(true);*/
company.showOptionA();
}
Basically i have a "main"JFrame with different options, and each button,representing a different option, calls the appropriate option method from Company Class.
When i click on the button "Show Employees Status". i want it to show the JTable above. Instead a new Frame opens but is blank??
EDIT: if i change showOptionA() to static, and then just call it inside showEmployeesActionPerformed , ( which is located in class PayrollForm)
public static void showOptionA(){
Company gui =new Company();
gui.getOptionA();
gui.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
gui.setVisible(true);
gui.setSize(600, 400);
}
i now see the columns but with no data(empty)
