Problem with displaying an confirmation or error message
i'm trying to get a frame with a message to pop up when a certain condition is met. ex. if a person trys to make an account with a feild blank. it sends a frame with "Fields cannot be blank". When i go to load the frame from the same class it works. but, when i run it from a different class and try to access the frame through a public method it will not display. I've tried using just a text area on the account creation screen with no success. I was wondering if anyone had any suggestion on how to fix this so that the frame will appear.
//JournalPage Class Methods:
//this sets the message for the frame and makes it visible.
public void eDialog(String msg){
errormessage.setText(msg);//sets the error message in the frame
errorbox.setVisible(true);// makes the error frame visible
errorbox.toFront();// brings the error freame to the front
}
eDialog("Invalid Username/Password");
// sets message for the frame called from the same Class
-
//UserInfo Class
JournalPage jp = new JournalPage();
if(Pasword.equals("") || UserName.equals(""){//Checks if feilds are
//blank
jp.eDialog("Fields Cannot Be Blank");//should display a frame but it
//does not.
}
