Question from a noob

Question

ok , so i want to ask
     class NewAction implements ActionListener
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
          TArea2.setDocument(new PlainDocument());
     void confirmation()
     int ReturnValue=JOptionPane.showConfirmDialog(null,"Do you want to open a new file?    ","Confirmation  ", JOptionPane.YES_NO_CANCEL_OPTION  );
     if(ReturnValue==JOptionPane.YES_OPTION)
          //HOW CAN I POSSIBLY CALL THE METHOD IN THE NewAction class?? 
     else if(ReturnValue==JOptionPane.CANCEL_OPTION)
     }sorry for my newbie question but can we actually call the actionPerformed method inside the NewAction class from the confirmation method??

Answer 1

this.NewAction().actionPerformed();
myclass.NewAction.actionPeformed();
NewAction().actionPerformed();
NewAction.actionPerformed();Nobody of these makes any sense.
You would need to call
nact.actionPerformed(evt),
where nact is a NewAction object and evt is an ActionEvent object.
But this is bad design because the evt object doesn't have any meaning in the call. I suggest instead you write a method
public void doSomething() {
   TArea2.setDocument(new PlainDocument());
}and then you call this method in the actionPerformed() and in the if(ReturnValue==JOptionPane.YES_OPTION) block.
