Can you be more specific? What kind of image do you want to add? How is the image created? Are you drawing it "by hand" or loading a graphic file? Where is the image supposed to be painted?

[Rose Evans]

Just any ol kind of image or icon...and it doesn't matter where it goes on the GUI....I guess I'd like a picture of some vending machine stuff if I could find one...if not...and simple ol smiley face would do.
I'm so lost...and I have until tomorrow at 12 to finish this....I have a darn high B in my class and I am trying so hard to make it an A....dog gone it...I'm so mad I could scream..pout

[Rose Evans]

OH my goodness...I DID IT!!! I added my own icon....!!! Yahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!
Now I have to figure out how to do this text box thingy....oh my!
Any suggestions???

Moving to Swing/AWT...

[Gregg Bolinger]

Rose, I am proud of you for trying to do your homework on your own. Too many people come in here and just ask for us to do it for them. However...

Now I have to figure out how to do this text box thingy

How are we supposed to know what *text box thingy* you are trying to achieve. Please be more specific with your questions so that we are better able to help you. If you are getting compile or runtime errors/exceptions post them as well. And preferrably the complete stacktrace if there is one.

Also, in the future, if the initial problem has been solved (Image Icon) and you have a new problem (text box thingy) start a completely new thread. That way we know what we are dealing with when we go in.

Thanks.

[Alvin Kain]

does ur text box thingy is to make ur label to look like a text box ?
Have u tried to add a border to the label ? it may work
