hi.

i have a program that consists of several classes. the main class opens a jframe with buttons on it. the buttons, when clicked open other jframes, twelve in all. each secondary jframe calculates the time elapsed since each of their openings.

i have tried without success to send the value of the individual elapsed times to the text of a label on the main class, but since i developed the main class in netbeans, the label components are private. i tried a set and get, but apparently there is a discrepancy between the type of value i wish to send from the other classes (elapsed =int, or string) and the value accepted by the private label object in the main class

suggestions?

One thing for sure, the setText() method of JLabel expects a String
so your choice to have the setter in your main class to accept a long (time is long not int) or a String but then you would have to act accordingly. Or call the setText() method with the String received if you receive a String or format the time into String before calling setText() if you receive a long.

Without seing your code that is all I can say
