GUI - JLabel
Hi
Does any one know how to design a Jlabel where it will take the file name and display it on a status bar.
I don't have a problem coding it as a normal status bar,
but i can't code it where when a file is open, or view, it would show the file name.
help would be great
Thanks

Can you show more informations? What's that status bar? Is that part of your program? or in another program?

Ok, you want to display the name of a file on a application. Do you know how to get the file name. Is that where you stuck or displaying the text on a label?

this is complicated to explain.
Well its pretty much just displaying the name of the current file that is currently open, on the status bar.
A good example would be. if you look at internet explorer, when the page finish loading, it will say "Done" at the bottom left hand corner.
But in this case, it should say "fileName" the current file that is open.
does that make sense?
sorry for making it so complicated
