Non static variable cannot be referenced from a static context.

I'm creating a program with a gui using the netbeans gui builder, I want to get a text field to display a variable from another class when a button is pressed, I type in the code after selecting the actionperformed option in events exactly where the ide tells me to, however I keep getting this error message.

What exactly do you want to know? The error message tells you the problem.

I want to know how to reference it, how does every other java program that has a gui reference variables?

by instantiating classes, or declaring variables as static

Can you post your code?

It sounds to me that you are trying to get the value of a variable from an object that you don't have a reference to.

I'll try making them static then.
