I'm working on a project for employee management with SQL Server and Java. While adding in the functionality for addEmployee I ran into this problem.
I cannot reference the JTextField components (txtName, txtAge and txtAddress). I may be completely missing something. While trying to create the jButtonActionPerformed() method for the Add button, the getText() for all text fields is giving an error and none of the text field names are showing up for auto-correction as if they do not exist.
Can someone help me figure out how to use the text field objects within this code?
public class EmployeeDialog extends javax.swing.JDialog {
/**

super(parent, modal);
initComponents();
