I want update my JTextArea (comText) with a click on the JToggleButton (internToggle).
But when i click on the button, nothing changed.

I search in SO and in google, but all of the solutions doesn’t work in my program.

What The Programm should do:
My TextArea contains a lot of different User-ID’s uids.toString().

Example-Content: u100125; u100149; u100187; u100364; u110207; u110318; u111949; u112850; u114345; u117205; u118421; u119058; u123362; u128621; u143754; u147190; u149220; u149788; u149911; u160017; u160081; u161927; u162659; u163383; u165021; u165363; u165534; u165765; u166052; u166731; u166912; u200965; u201334; u201942; u202144; u202291; u202293; u202544; u202670; u202899; u202920; u202928; u202975; u203103; u203271; u203499; u203739; u203960; u204011; u204030; u204333; u204652; u205166; u205203; u205420; u205595; u206596; u206741; u207063; u207455; u207467; u207627; u207742; u207788; u207797; u208344; u208419; u208637; u208820; u209382; u209903; u210041; u210690; u210767; u210854; u210875; u212119; u213175; u213517; u213940; ue01545; ue03732; ue05728; ue06895; ue53655; ue54224; ue55155; ue55385; ue57760; ue58142;

Now I want to filter out the u-ID’s from the ue-ID’s with the toggle Button.

My method internToggleActionPerformed works. newPerson() contains all u-ID’s.
But the TextArea do nothing. How can I update the TextArea?

Answer 1

It’s done.

It was a fault of my Eclipse. In my Company, we’ve an Eclipse with our own Plugins. The new Versions use GIT, but my small own Project was developed with SVN, which plugin was faulty. So all of my GUI-Application started, but got freeze then.

Anyway, thank you for your big Help!
