    text
    <p>This is homework. Beginning Java class. Still wrapping my head around this stuff. </p> <p>The project is to make an Inventory Management System. </p> <p>I have everything figured out except how to make this button change the text in a JTextField. It needs to add info from an array of a product (DVD's in this case). The book talks about different ways to manage things like font, position and state of a JTextField but it does not cover formatting or calling a method for the text. </p> <p>Here is an example of what I want to do using a JTextArea. This is essentially what I want to do with my JTextFields.</p> <pre><code> ... // setup the interface JPanel panel = new JPanel(); txt = new JTextArea(15,40); txt.setEditable(false);//user shouldn't change it panel.add(txt); JButton next = new JButton("Next"); panel.add(next); getContentPane().add(panel); displayDVD(); } // view software public void displayDVD() { txt.setText("DVD Details:\n"); txt.append("Item number: " + inv.get(currentDisplay).getItem() + "\n"); txt.append("DVD name: " + inv.get(currentDisplay).getName() + "\n"); txt.append("Units in stock: " + inv.get(currentDisplay).getUnits() + "\n"); txt.append("Price: $" + String.format("%.2f",inv.get(currentDisplay).getPrice()) + "\n"); txt.append("Total value: $" + String.format("%.2f",inv.get(currentDisplay).value()) + "\n"); txt.append("Fee: $" + String.format("%.2f",inv.get(currentDisplay).fee()) + "\n\n"); txt.append("Total value: $" + String.format("%.2f",inv.value())); } </code></pre> <p>And here is my actual code so far</p> <pre><code>// GUI with navigation and file manipulation buttons import javax.swing.*; // provides basic window features import java.awt.event.*;

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
