Can't figure out how to output result to JLabel instead of System.out.println.

Question

I'm stuck again trying to figure out how to out the button clicked to label1.

When I click button01 I get A printed out. I need it to print to the label1 though and say Folder A when A is pressed and B when B is pressed and so on. Any nudge in the right direction?

Answer 1

The nudge - and not the full blown answer is this:

• Go and read the public API for JLabel
• Identify the method that sets the text on JLabel
• Instead of checking for an A string value, just set the value of folder to the value of e.getActionCommand().

Answer 2

label1.setText("Folder " + e.getActionCommand());
