Icons

[Karen Baog]

Hi all,

Trying to learn putting icons on buttons.
The icon shows when I run it, but the description is not shown.
Am I missing something?

  
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
 
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("c:/images/image1.gif", "Image");
JButton button = new JButton(icon);
panel.add(button);

What description? You haven't told the JButton which text you want it to display.

Hi James,

How do I add an icon and a description to the button?
I'm playing with the ImageIcon, thinking that the second argument will provide the description. I think I'm wrong here. Now, I don't know what to do.

I figured it out.

Thanks.
