Solution
There are several ways to do this sort of thing. Off hand, a simple way would be to create another class which extends JFrame named SubmissionForm then Create a constructor for this new class that will accept all the required information to display, for example (non-runnable):
// Your first form's class (just an example)
public class DataEntryForm extends JFrame {
public DataEntryForm() {
initializeForm();
}
// ... all your other class code ...
private void initializeForm() {
// Create an ActionListener
submitButton.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
submitButtonActionPerformed(evt);
}
});
// ... all the other code required to create your form ...
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
/* Create and display the form */
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
new DataEntryForm().setVisible(true);
}
});
}
// The Submit Button ActionPerformed event
private void submitButtonActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
// Gather the supplied Data...
String name = nameTextField.getText();
String occupation = occupationTextField.getText();
String ageCategory = ageCategoryList.getSelectedValue().toString();
String employment = employmentCombo.getSelectedItem().toString();
boolean filipino = filipinoCheckBox.isSelected();
String tin = tinTextField.getText();
String gender = genderRadioButton1.isSelected() ? "Male" :
genderRadioButton2.isSelected() ? "Female" : "Unknown";
// Display this gathered Data in the other form...
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
new SubmissionForm(name, occupation, ageCategory, employment, filipino,
tin, gender).setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
Now the SubmissionForm class. Notice the constructor and the code within it. Also notice that there is no main() method in this class:
public class SubmissionForm extends javax.swing.JFrame {
// Class Constructor...
public SubmissionForm(String name, String occupation, String ageCategory,
String employment, boolean isFilipino, String tin,
String gender) {
initializeForm();
// JLabel components on this form
lblName.setText(name);
lblOccupation.setText(occupation);
lblAgeCategory.setText(ageCategory);
lblEmployment.setText(employment);
lblPhilipino.setText(String.valueOf(isFilipino).toUpperCase());
lblTIN.setText(tin);
lblGender.setText(gender);
}
private void initializeForm() {
// Your code to initialize form components here...
}
}
You could place all the gathered data into an Array, ArrayList, or List Interface and pass that through the constructor and then work with that collection of data before the form is displayed.
The code above is not a runnable. It was supplied off the top of my head and therefore may contain some small errors.
In other words ... create a constructor similar to what was done here for your second form.
