NetBean 6.9 GUI Designer Source File

Question

I changed a JLabel's text to be "Your Name:" through the Property window. I want to know where this "Your Name: " is stored?

Also in the Property window, I changed this JLabel's name to be "lblName" but in the FrameView.java file it is still JLabel1. So weired.

Answer 1

1. Where is the label's text stored...

   The text is probably in the file Bundle.properties (unless you have disabled automatic internationalization)

2. Why didn't the variable name change when I changed the Name property...

   The Name property is a property on ALL java.awt.Component objects and a JLabel is one of those things. If you do want to change the variable name in the code, right-click on the component and select the 'Change Variable Name...' item.
