Thread: adding int when you press a jbutton

The program uses the value of OUT when the JLabel object is created. If you want to change the String shown in the JLabel, you need to call a method to change it.

        CAL = CAL+1;  //<<  This changes the value of CAL
        CAL = OUT;    // <<  This also changes the value of CAL, replacing the previous value

i meant to change the valble CAL to OUT for out put if this may help here is the entire code it runs but i need to fix this little bug be 4 i finish the program becouse it some what make the program, its a swing text based trivia game for my FBLA chapter.

im not the best at swing im using netbeans to aid me

Is the String shown in jLabel4 what you want to change?
Where does the code try to change the String shown in jLabel4?

it add +1 to the value

Changing the value of a variable will NOT change what is shown.

Where does the program try to change the String that is shown in a JLabel? It needs to call a method in the JLabel class to change what is shown.

i have to make a new method

No, you need to call an existing method.
There are many samples in your code. Look for where you set the text of a JLabel to some String.

That's a constructor, not a call to a method. Did you look at the API doc for the JLabel class to find the method that will change the String that it displays?

the problem is that is will run and display a 0 but not up date

You need to call a method to update what is shown.
Have you read the API doc for the JLabel class? Did you have any questions about which method to use to set the text of a JLabel using a String?

I'm not sure what you are trying to show with images.

It is the one that says something like: it will set the line of text the JLabel will display.

Its name begins with set

Yes, that looks like it.
Has the code that uses it been posted? I didn't see where it had been used in the code in post#3.
Have you a new version of the code that uses the setText() method to change the text of the JLabels when and where you want them changed?

entire code posted i think in post #2

Post#2 was my post. The post numbers are at the right end of the blue stripe at the top of each post.

If you want help finding the problem in the current code, you will have to post it.

Where is the call to setText() for jLabel4? I still don't see it.

What did you change in the code between the code in post#3 and post#19?

If there wasn't any changes to the code, posting it a second time is a waste of time.

This program is WAY TOO BIG for working on this problem. If you want anyone to load the code and work with it, you need to make a small, complete program that compiles. executes and shows the problem
All the program needs for testing is a button and a JLabel that will be updated when the button is pressed, nothing more. I would think there would be less than 100 lines.

I'm done for tonight. Back tomorrow.
