Hi all, Am developing a desktop app in java(using desktop app template provided in netbeans) and am kinda stuck! Here's my problem... i have some JDialog forms supposd 2 interact with a MySql db but they'r all 'dumb'...i.e. They return nulls when I hit save button -only combo box controls(in form) are interacting with db . Main master/detail view is working fine. Any help is appreciated. Kind regards, Festus Ngina

Fix my car, it wont start......exactly, we need more info and some code On 4/6/11, Festus Ngina <festus.ngina@gmail.com> wrote:

@Festus...usually my take on drag drop for the GUI, I add a JFrame or JInternalFrame from the Java Swing package. The Desktop App never really works by the way..unless well you have what it takes to go by its syntaxicography.....but am glad you found joy in hard coding...

@Festo, Usually this has to do with learning how to navigate your way around the IDE (some training aspect)....and also down memory lane, the VB way of double-clicking on a GUI object to go to its code section also applies here, Just do that, then from there you can put the code... sometimes hard coding is the only way, and useful too if you learnt Java the hard-coding way!
