using JTextField

[welshone]

hello,
How can I type info into a JTextField, then when I click a button pass the info. to another method ?

so far I have :

middlePanel.add(new JLabel("LastName&quot);
JTextField LastName = new JTextField();
middlePanel.add(LastName);

JButton Add = new JButton("Add Patron"
middlePanel.add(Add);
Add.setSize(20,10);
Add.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
DO I NEED TO PASS LASTNAME here to the METHOD ??
System.out.println("Add button pressed"
}
});


thanks for any hints.

Hello,
I have managed to write the values to the screen by doing
LastName.getText()

but how can I pass this to a method called :

public User(String FirstName, String LastName){
}

talking to myself now.
I think I've sorted this.
created a new user object and use the get and set methods.

but now I want to putthat value into a textarea , or table......
