Displaying Photo's with Frame GUI

[Mike Kelly]

I'm having trouble figuring out how to go about displaying the photos. I have 7 button GUI implementing ActionListener. I'm not using Swing.

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
String label = ae.getAvtionCommand();
if (label.equals("Button 1")) {
//display picture 1
}
if (label.equals("button 2")) {
//display picture 2
}
...
}

Hi Mike,
The code below might help you out.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class FlipImage extends Frame implements ActionListener
{
  Image im1, im2;
  Image im;
  public FlipImage()
  {
    setLayout( new FlowLayout() );
    Button b = new Button( "First" );
    b.addActionListener( this );
    b.setActionCommand( "C:\\Temp\\SettingsDialog.gif" );
    add( b );
    b = new Button( "Second" );
    b.addActionListener( this );
    b.setActionCommand( "C:\\Temp\\FFT.gif" );
    add( b );
    setSize( 500, 600 );
  }
  public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent ae )
  {
    im = getToolkit().getImage( ae.getActionCommand() );
    MediaTracker tracker = new MediaTracker( this );
    tracker.addImage( im, 0 );
    try
    {
    tracker.waitForID( 0 );
    }
    catch( InterruptedException e){}
    repaint();
  }
  public void paint( Graphics g )
  {
    if( im != null )
    {
      g.drawImage( im, 2, 100, null );
    }
  }
  public static void main(String[] args) 
  {
    new FlipImage().setVisible( true );
  }
}

Enjoy,
Manfred.

Thanks Manfred, I appreciate the specifics. I'm studying for certification, but I'm not that familar with the API. Thanks again Mike.
