Creating a Gui Input Form

Question

Hi,
I've got a class called GamePanel which extends JPanel. Currently I have only one JTextField (theTextField1) and one JButton (theButton1).
I've got a class called GameFrame which extends JFrame, in its constructor it creates a new GamePanel. It has methods getInt, getDouble and getString.
When theButton1 is clicked the program returns the appropriate value (i.e. an Integer that is typed in theTextField1 for getInt method in GameFrame).
Inside any other class I can create a new GameFrame and can get values to put into variables or to put into constructors as parameters e.g.
GameFrame theGameFrame = new GameFrame;
String name = theGameFrame.getString();
Now, I want to add more JTextFields to GamePanel i.e. theTextField2, theTextField3.
How do I get values typed into theTextField(s) into variables/parameters in other classes e.g.
String name = theTextField1
int age = theTextField2
double height = theTextField3
Please lend me your help.

Well, it's not quite clear what, exactly, you are having a problem with.
If you want to put more text fields, put more text fields. If you want to lay them out properly, you probably would want to nest some other panels.....
JTextField textfield0 = null;
JTextField textfield1 = null;
JTextField textfield2 = null;
public GamePanel() {
     JPanel p = new JPanel();
     p.setLayout(new BoxLayout(p, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
     JPanel p0 = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
     p0.add(new JLabel("field 1"));
     textfield0 = new JTextField();
     p0.add(textfield0);
     p.add(p0);
     JPanel p1 = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
     p1.add(new JLabel("field 2"));
     textfield1 = new JTextField();
     p1.add(textfield1);
     p.add(p1);
     JPanel p2 = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
     p2.add(new JLabel("field 3"));
     textfield2 = new JTextField();
     p2.add(textfield2);
     p.add(p2);
     add(p);
}
