JText Field

If I am assigning a value to a Jtextfield in a method

JTextField curProject = new JTextField(20);
curProject.setText(currentProject.getName());

but now I want to add the textfield to my panel for my dialog
right now I have

final JTextField selProject = new JTextField(20);
selProject.setEnabled(false);

How would I assign curProject to selProject?

CEHJ

You mean assign the text?

selProject.setText(curProject.getText());

I am getting the value for curProject in this method

private void showProjectSelectDialog() {
EdiSelectProjectDialog ar = new EdiSelectProjectDialog(this, session, appReg);
       ar.setModal(true);
       ar.setVisible(true);
       EdiProject newProject = ar.getSelectedProject();
       if (newProject != null) {
              currentProject = newProject;
              JTextField curProject = new JTextField(20);
              curProject.setText(currentProject.getName());

       }
       else {
              System.out.println("No Project\n");
       }
}

But I am trying to take that value and add it to my panel in a seperate method

private JPanel currentItems(){



       //JLabel eLabel = new JLabel("Current Project");
       curProjectLabel = new JLabel();
       cur3DTransLabel = new JLabel();
       cur2DTransLabel = new JLabel();
       curEmailLabel = new JLabel();

       final JTextField selProject = new JTextField(20);
       selProject.setText(curProject.getText());

       selProject.setEnabled(false);

But curProject can not be resolved

But in this method below you don't have any JPnel and you are not abfding anything to it.

It should be something like this:

YOu proabbly also want to define sopme layout manager for this panel:

private JPanel currentItems(){
         
         
         JPanel p = new JPanel();
        //JLabel eLabel = new JLabel("Current Project");
        curProjectLabel = new JLabel();
        cur3DTransLabel = new JLabel();
        cur2DTransLabel = new JLabel();
        curEmailLabel = new JLabel();
         
        final JTextField selProject = new JTextField(20);
        selProject.setText(curProject.getText());

        selProject.setEnabled(false);
   p.add(curProjectLabel );
  p.add9 cur3DTransLabel );
...
  p.add(selProject());
   return p;

}
