I speak C and VB6 very well......new to Java/Eclipse/WindowBuilder. Trying to convert several VB6 apps into Java; all is great except for the attached. I am obviously not OOP oriented! I want routines that will manage my List (.add etc) and manage Text (setText) widgets. There are two VB6 to Java that I need pretty quickly....I have written most of the code and it's great, except for the ability to use my List widget.....
I also understand that List (and Button) is not subclassable...obviously I do not understand Class...sorry - any help greatly appreciated.
If there is a sample code available, please provide a link. 'List' is not a great search key!
Attached are my two very short test files.....annotated with the failures errors.
TIA! George

George,
This forum isn't intended for general help for how Java itself works.
Use Stackoverflow or Java Ranch for that. You clearly don't have a good
idea how scopes work in Java, i.e., you can't see local variables from
one method in another method so changestuff can't see list1 because it's
declared in createContents; it must be a field to be shared, i.e., like
shell. Also, keep in mind Java naming conventions, i.e., listfailure
is a bad name for a class; it should be ListFailure. ManageList should
"extend" listfailure; "implements" is used to implement an interface
(listfailure is a class) while "extends" is used to extend a class.
When using Eclipse, you can use Ctrl-Space to do completion, and if
Eclipse can't complete to some variable name, that's because it's not
visible in that scope...
