I have a simple form setup, and I watched the Core Java Vol book set my forms, where they have a top-level class that extends the JFrame, creates objects of different components and puts them in a frame. If this is not how you should normally do this, let me know.
I got confused when I wrote my inner classes to perform actions on button clicks. I could put my inner class in my AddressBookForm class since when I put my buttons and it will have access to JTextFields private variables. The problem I have (if so far the other parts are "normal"), I do not know how to get the address of List.size (), so I can update the statusBar label with the total number of people when the Insert button is pressed. Any suggestions? Thank.
