Questions about NetBeans

hi all..

im new to NetBeans and there are currently a few questions i want to ask.. hope someone helps me.. =(

1) how do i modify codes in the blue color portions of the GUI interface?

2) i have an interface that requires users to key in their login id and password. How do i compare the information that user typed in, with the database that has another set of id and password?

You might get a faster response in an NetBeans forum.

Via the GUI editor.

JDBC?

1) how do i get to the GUI editor?2) JDBC shows only the select, update, delete statements.. but never state about the comparison of passwords between what users typed and the password in database.

To be honest, you sound like a beginner, and as such I recommend you don't use an IDE just yet. Grab a basic text editor (with syntax highlighting) and using the command line.

Think about it for a bit.

You could do it client side, or as a select statement.

Client Side

Have you covered if statements, and loops?

Select Statement

Have you covered the where clauses?
