Need imput in box

14 New Member
I have a problem. My teacher of Java is jumping all over the book and then gave us this project. Well I got the project to run. But he wants the output in a box with an ok button on it. He gave us the code and said just put it in the class and it will do the rest. Well as you guessed it does not. please look at this and let me know how to get it in the box.

Thanks John- JHHBR549@aol.co m

public class TwelveDays {//beginning of the Class of Twelve Days

Thanks the box comes up now, but now in the box only prints one line of the second case untill you press the ok button. then the next line then ok and so on. I need all the out put in the box at one time with a scroll bar and only hit ok once. The output also still prints correctly before the box appears.

Help.

Is there a way to put the output in a building array that would only generate one output? I think that needs to be the fix, but not sure.

Like an array with 12 objects

or maybe just one object that gets the new loop output added to the end and then called to the method.

Not sure what path to take. The code is real close. tring not to mess it up.

The println output is good. i just need
