I've been working on a Java Swing project where I need to retrieve the object/instance that created a panel in order to call a simple save method particular to that instance.
You have a JFrame with a JTabbedPane that has tabs created by instancing a class which builds a JPanel and adds it to the JTabbedPane, I need to find the specific instance from the selected JPanel/tab on the JTabbedPane to then call it's save method.
Any ideas? Thanks for your time!
public class frame extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
Builds a frame dubbed "frame" that is static.
Builds a static JTabbedPane dubbed "pane"and adds it to the frame.
Creates a button that creates a new instance of sheet.
public void actionPerformed(MAGIC!){
See if a button on the panel has been pressed and uses the currently selected tab to locate the correct instance of sheet to run it's save method.
}
}
public class sheet extends JPanel{
In constructor makes a JPanel and adds it to "pane"
Describes a save method that outputs a variable unique to the instance.
}
