my problem i believe is simple, i have the interface but what i need is, if i have 4 text boxes, 2 on top and 2 on bottom and a button in the middle, 2 values are entered into the top 2 boxes, the when the button is pressed which ever box highest number, then the box directly below it has 1 added to it, i hope that makes sense

[Arkie]

So basically you need two input fields ( textfields ?), a button and two textareas to display the result?

Enter two numbers in the top 2 fields, press the button and the one with the highest number will have the 1 added in the ouput under the field with the highest number.

i appreciate your help, but its not working like that, im not sure what it is doing, but not what i said, in your latest repl, you have the right concept, but the program isnt doing that for me.  if i enter 2 in the top left and 1 in the top right it should add 1 to the bottom left totalling 1, then if i enter the score again and the top left is higher, the bottom left should increase to 2. cheers

[Arkie]

yer thats what i was looking for thank you very much

Sure np, glad it worked out well!

[SwiftPost]

I know the problem as been resolved.  However could someone explain to me what all these boxes do?  I am completly confused on what it actually dose.  Sorry of this is such a stupid question.

I've made it into an executable jar file, If you have Java 1.6 you can run this file here and see yourself what it does: http://www.engineeringser...tware/GuiWithTextArea.jar

[tikibobby]

that program works, efficiently, and does what i asked, but how could i do it without the "catch(NumberFormatException e1)"
this is going to be put into part of my program, which is quite simple, and i dont understand the "catch(NumberFormatException e1)" as i dont really understand it, cheers

[Arkie]

Well just remove the try/catch but if you are entering a non digit an exception will come up so thats why i used a try/catch construction to catch the exception. (although it doesn't show anything when you press the button and enter a non digit in the 2 textfields the exception is handled in the background of the application)

[BlueEew]

I also don't understand what it dose.  I downloaded the link you suggested to SwiftPost.  However I do not know what I have to do with it.  Maybe you can help?
