Swing, Cant figure out how to add background image, label problem
Hey guys, im kind of new to java and was wondering how to do a few things. A. I wanted to figure out how to set the background of one of my panels as a picture I have in my src folder. More importantly, I wanted to fix lines 98-107. That is supposed to get the text put in the text box attached to my panelD, and add it to a label, and then add that label to the panel. Currently, nothing happens when I enter text in the textbox. Sorry for the really long code, id really appreciate it if anyone could help. Thanks.

Re: Swing, Cant figure out how to add background image, label problem
I think you've forgot to use the addActionListener method on txtName. Thats why nothing is happening.
Re: Swing, Cant figure out how to add background image, label problem
Also, don't use MouseListeners for menu items, use ActionListeners. Your MouseListeners will still be active, even if the menu item has been disabled which is inappropriate behavior. If you use an ActionListener, the listener has been built to work with menus and buttons, and is smart enough to know not to respond if the menu or button is inactive.

Re: Swing, Cant figure out how to add background image, label problem
Ohh, thanks... just one problem... I completely forgot how to do that XD
I tried this:
Code:
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
if(e.getSource()==txtName){
txtName.addActionListener();
label.setText(txtName.getText()+"");
panelD.add(label);
}
panelD.repaint();
validate ();
}
And it gives me a red line under addActionListener. Any idea on what I should change?
