Hopefully somebody will know what I'm on about....

I'm trying to build a basic (windows) panel with two text entry fields. I'm trying to learn Groovy 1.6.0 and NetBeans is failing to compile this code and i think its to do with the open quotation mark in the two textfield statements, i cant take them out though because they are in the working examples I've been through from the developers website so they must work in the code, if they don't then I don't know what would

Here's my simple code......

import javax.swing.WindowConstants as WC

import groovy.swing.SwingBuilder

def swingB = new SwingBuilder()

def frame = swingB.frame(tittle:'Example01', location:[100,100],size:[800,800],
defaultCloseOperation:WC.EXIT_ON_CLOSE)
{
panel(border:titledBorder(title:'Name'))
{
label(text:'First name:')
textField(text:",columns:20)
label(text:'Last name:')
textField(text:",columns:20)
}
}

swingB.doLater{frame.visible = true}

Does anybody know why that causes an error?

Thanks in advance

Pete

 

have you put the quotations in as one quotation or two inverted commas? should be the latter.

Chris

 

Thanks Chris, I did have it in as a single quote but after your post changed it to two inverted comma's ('') and now this comes up

any ideas?

 

not familiar with net beans etc - would suggest trying creating a new project from scratch and copy/paste your code into it.

 

Cheers mate i'll have another go over the weekend, got pissed off with it and worked on some c++ instead

import javax.swing.WindowConstants as WC

import groovy.swing.SwingBuilder

def swingB = new SwingBuilder()

def frame = swingB.frame(>>>tittle<<<:'Example01', location:[100,100],size:[800,800],
defaultCloseOperation:WC.EXIT_ON_CLOSE)
{
panel(border:titledBorder(title:'Name'))
{
label(text:'First name:')
textField(text:",columns:20)
label(text:'Last name:')
textField(text:",columns:20)
}
}

swingB.doLater{frame.visible = true}


shud be fixed, simple spelling mistake... been a while since i have coded though notice i have put three arrows eitherside of it the mistake

 

OH!

Well spotted mate!

I'll have a go at it when I'm back in again tomorrow and let you know.

Pete

 

forgot to add that you might be missing some "{ }" to begin the process then end it as you have a single commmand line outside of any brackets

 

if i still had all the programs installed i would spend more time working out what's wrong but im afraid i dont.... plenty of help on google if you have a look though

 

Tried it again and getting this...

A bit dramatic eh?

 

The javax bit that i've made bold in the quote, should that not be javac ? All your output errors are asking for that eg "cannot be set on the contained <javac> element."

 

can you link me to the site your learning from.... might get back into solving this sort of stuff... working on summink now but i have no compilers to check it

 

got bored so had a little play (its been 2 years since ive touched any code so it may be rough and not what your after)

but this should do exactly what your after i reckon.... let me know?

import groovy.swing.SwingBuilder
import javax.swing.WindowConstants as WC

SwingBuilder.build(){
frame(title:'Example01', location:[100,100], size:[800,800],
visible:true, defaultCloseOperation:WC.EXIT_ON_CLOSE){
gridLayout(cols: 2, rows:0)
label 'First name:'
input = textfield(columns:20, actionPerformed: {
output.text = input.text })
label = 'Last name:'
input = textfield(columns:20, actionPerformed: {
output.text = input.text })
}
}
