Public Variables

[§tudz]

hi,

I been using 'Netbeans' (hides in shame) to make a java program and I need to add a login ID to a public variable, but I need that to be available to the other forms, as it is required for saving data to the database.

I know you can just set a public var in a module in VB and all forms can use it.

is what I requiring a Global Variable? if these are used in Java...

Any help on, how and where to delcare this variable would be gratefully recieved.

Thank you all in advanced

No need to be ashamed of NetBeans, it's a great IDE (except that mine isn't starting ).

You can simulate a global variable by making it a static property of some class.

However, depending on your app design there may be a better solution.

lol...

well how do I do that? I mean make it apart of a class?

oh, and I can create test files, with IO, but how to get the app.path (thats the vb.net value anyway) so that I can save the file in this directory:

(App.Path) + "System\Text1.txt"

Thank you,

If you can help me with this I wont need the global variable.

System.getProperty is to retrieve various properties, I think the application path might be one of them.

thanks very much,


I think I should just PM you when I got a question lol

[CornedBee]

No you shouldn't. PMs are not searchable, so other people would have to ask the same question again, I'd get annoyed and would leave

I was joking
