How do you get the text field value from another java file

[bobby, morkos]

I have a Demo.java which contains a text field value and I want to get it from ProcessListeener.java. Could anyone help?

You would just have to pass the value to the other program:
public class Demo {
String value = "";
Listener.getThisText(value);
}
public class Listener {
public void getThisText(String value) {
}
}
Is something like this what you are referring to? You post wasn't very specific.
This is just one of several ways that you can pass information back and forth between classes.

I cant because I have a class Listener. Is there a way, without writing to a file or xml and then retrieving it later.
class JTableButtonMouseListener implements MouseListener {
}

Hi Bobby,
All Events have a source associated with them, so just use it. For example, the following code listens to a textfield action event:

public class GUI
{
  public GUI()
  {
    TextField tf = new TextField( "Default", 20 );
    tf.addActionListener( new Listener() );
  }
}
class Listener
{
  public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent ae )
  {
    [B]TextField tf = (TextField)ae.getSource()[/B];
    System.out.println( tf.getText() );
  }
}

If you need some other object then the one sent then you will need to write accessors from the creating class and then call them from your listener class. You will also need to pass in a reference to the creating class (usually done through the constructor). For example:
tf.addActionListener( new Listener( this ) );
Regards,
Manfred.

What if the text value changes all the time. Is there a way to listeen for a modification in the text field and change it accordingly. Thanks for your help.
