Hi, I am a newbie
I make a JFrame application Lframe in the IDE of NetBeans 4.0. I will call
this frame with a name. How do I get a variable in constructor of the
LFrame? Working with the IDE I do not see a possibility and also when the
application has been made there is no possibility in the property window.
When I do it by myself in the constructor LFrame(String titel) there is a
problem in the main method at the internal class new
LFrame().setVisible(true) made in the main method.
I guess there must be a possibility to make an application in the IDE with a
variable but I can not find it.
Thanks for help Arie Tamboer

I don't think you can in the IDE directly, though I could be wrong.
What is it that you are trying to do? If it is just setting the title,
as your example suggests, then you should use the title property in the
properties window when the jFrame is selected in the inspector. For
most any other component you would use the "Custom Creation Code"
property to modify the constructor.

What I want is that when LFrame is called from a different part of an
application I can see on the title from which part it is called. So when is
called from part x the title of LFrame is 'x' and when from y it is 'y'
Thanks for the help

There are several possibilities.
1. Add an additional contructor
public LFrame(String title) {
this(); // calls other constructor that initializes frame
setTitle(title);
}
Then, from x
new LFrame("x").setVisible(true);
And from y
new LFrame("y").setVisible(true);
2. Call setTitle() after creating two different instances:
From x:
LFrame yourFrameFromX = new LFrame();
yourFrameFromX.setTitle("x");
yourFrameFromX.setVisible(true);
And from y:
LFrame yourFrameFromY = new LFrame();
yourFrameFromY.setTitle("y");
yourFrameFromY.setVisible(true);
3. Have only one LFrame instance and call setTitle() before setting
frame visible:
LFrame yourFrame = new LFrame();
Then from x:
yourFrame.setTitle("x");
yourFrame.setVisible(true);
And from y:
yourFrame.setTitle("y");
yourFrame.setVisible(true);
