I am trying to write code for an application I'm making, I have my main frame with 6 buttons on them. When I push one of my buttons, it is meant to bring up a frame that has a tabbed layout set up.
I have the tabbed frame coded correctly and when I set each frame as visible they will appear to screen but they don't appear when the button is pushed.
I have action listeners connected to the buttons and the frames I want to connect with them as well as constructors but for some reason I can't get my code to work correctly.
I have added my driver and my first two forms I'm trying to connect to each other.
public class SimpsonsDriver {
//@param args the command line arguments
public static void main(String[] args) {
// TODO code application logic here
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
JFrame simpsonFrame = new JFrame("The Simpson");
JFrame homerFrame = new JFrame ("Homer Simpson");
JFrame margeFrame = new JFrame ("Marge Simpson");
JFrame bartFrame = new JFrame ("Bart Simpson");
JFrame lisaFrame = new JFrame("Lisa Simpson");
JFrame maggieFrame = new JFrame("Maggie Simpson");
SimpsonForm simpsonForm = new SimpsonForm(simpsonFrame, homerFrame, margeFrame, bartFrame,
lisaFrame, maggieFrame);
HomerForm homerForm = new HomerForm(homerFrame, simpsonFrame);
MargeForm margeForm = new MargeForm(margeFrame, simpsonFrame);
BartForm bartForm = new BartForm(bartFrame, simpsonFrame);
LisaForm lisaForm = new LisaForm(lisaFrame, simpsonFrame);
MaggieForm maggieForm = new MaggieForm(maggieFrame, simpsonFrame);
}
}
