jTextLabel and jTextField

[jeata]

Hi

I guess this looks pretty pathetic, but I can't figure out how to take a String, save and then display its content in a TextLabel as many times as I like, by pressing a button. For example, if you write "Dog" in the textfield, press a button attached to a textlabel, you get the "Dog" displayed, after that if you write "Cat" in the txt field it just displays "Cat". How can I make it display DogCat and so on, as many times the user presses the button it just needs to keep adding those strings to the textLabel

Not sure what a JTextLabel is, but you have a method to get the current text of the component, right? And a method to set the text? And you know how to concatenate Strings?

concat right, thanks alot man, but when i concat them they are just displayed together, like f.e. when I input Dog, it just outputs DogDog and when I press the button again it does the same:)

try this ::in the button click :

label.setText (label.getText()+" "+field.getText());

of course

label (JTextLabel) & field (textfield)

I hope that help you ...
