Help with GUI? 1

[jeak]

I am working on a simple program where in the code below I need to display "Hello, (name entered)!" instead of "A very good name!". I'm not sure how to display the input from the user to the screen. Does anyone have any suggestions on the best way to do this? Thanks!

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Test&quot)
name.setText("A very good name!"
else if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Clear&quot)
name.setText(""
else
name.setText("Error in window interface."
}

If you want to display it to the console then use

System.out.println(String)

If you want to display it on a GUI window then I suggest you read the Java documentation for JLabels. They provide everything you need.

Doco is here ->

I want to display the text on a GUI window and I have read the Java documentation for JLabels. I am still not sure how to display both "Hello, " and the input from the user. Does anyone have any other suggestions? Thanks!

Assuming your user input is set to a variable named usrInput:

name.setText("Hello, " +usrInput);

should do it... basically just *concatinate* the strings... napa1m
