desktop application - Im trying to add items to a text field in Java using NetBeans 6.9.1 -

my code in action button press is:

@action public void add() {     int miles=integer.parseint(jtextfield1.gettext());     double km=miles/.621;     jtextarea1.add }

as can see, didn't finish jtextarea1 code. want add new line every button press "1 mile(s) = xx km" (with xx being km variable)

i'm not clear on how add text jtextarea1 though, second day using desktopapplications, did console apps.

call:

jtextarea1.append("text goes here\n");

also, start reading oracles swing tutorial instead posting new question every 5 minutes.

regards.
