GUI Help Java Program

[coder752]

I don't know what to use, a JFileChooser, or a JTextArea?



It's suppose to read in a social security (sample) file, if it contains anything other than the 9 digits, it will show the exception. Line by line is read into a GUI via a text file.

I only got it to work to open an empty GUI with the appropriate heading.

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.io.*;

public class GUI extends JPanel implements ActionListener{
	protected JTextField textField;
	protected JTextArea textArea;
	private final static String newline = "\n";

	JFrame myFrame;

	//Need to display an error message for the line of error in txt 
	//file in a text box.
	//JFileChooser fc = new JFileChooser();

	textField = new JTextField(20);
	textField.addActionListener(this);
	textArea = new JTextArea(10, 20);
	textArea.setEditable(false);
	JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(textArea);
	

	//Main
	public static void main(String[]args){
		GUI gui = new GUI();
	}

	GUI(){
		myFrame = new JFrame();
		myFrame.setSize(500,500);
		myFrame.setLocation(250,250);
		myFrame.setTitle("Social Security Numbers");
		myFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		myFrame.setVisible(true);
	}
}
