Help with Search tools
I'm trying to create a search tool, that would search a users request in it's database and try and come up with an answer.. I've got the layout done and everything, I just keep getting incompatible errors, I know the program can accept the information because I tested it, it just can't seem to compare it against anything else.. This is what I have
JButton buttonPressed = (JButton)e.getSource();
if (buttonPressed == user)
{
Search = SearchField.getText();
if(Search == USER1)
{ JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null,"User ID " + Search + " Found");
}
}
Search
User and Search are both JButtons, and USER1 is a String for "asdf" .. Please tell me what I'm doing wrong.

If Search and USER1 are of type JButton, you can not assign strings to them. I am not quite clear on exactly what part of the button you are trying to set. Are you just trying to set the button text?
This might help you.
String myString = "test";
JButton testButton1;
JButton testButton2;
testButton1.setText(myString); //Are you try to set the text or
testButton2.setText(myString);
if ( testButton2.getText().equals(testButton1.getText()))
System.out.println("I have a match.");
Looking more specifically at your code, try this.
JButton buttonPressed=(JButton)e.getSource();
if( buttonPressed.getText().equals(user))
{
Search.setText(SEarchField.getText());
if( Search.getText().equals(USER1.getText())
{
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "User ID" + Search + "Found");
}
}
I did not run this last code through and editor, so watch out for syntax errors.
Please let me know if you have any other questions.
