Call a method from the ListSelectionListener

[John Broadley]

Hello,
I am building two separate classes. The first class extends the
JPanel, creates a JList and implements a ListSelectionListener.
The second class extends the JPanel, and creates a JTextField in it.

I create instances of both classes, and put them in a JFrame.

When the user selects an item from the JList in the first JPanel, my
listener code is called. In this case, I would like to send the
selected item text to the second JPanel to pass it to its JTextField.

I first started with having the JList and JTextField created in the
JFrame, and from the ListSelectionListener code, I was seeing the
JTextField, and communication was possible. After a while, I felt that
I need more functionalities, so I though of separating the JList, and
JTextField in two separate stand alone classes capable of handling
several types of requests, but then I was not able to have
communication between the two anymore.

Appreciate your help.
Thank you.

Appreciate your help.

A couple of things.

1) Ask a question.
2) Do it on the best group <http://www.physci.org/codes/javafaq.jsp#cljh> *
3) Post code, rather than descriptions.
<http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce.jsp>

There is perhaps a more suutable group, but once you have
read and posted to c.l.j.help for a while, and read the
mini-FAQ posted every 4 days, you will know what it is.
