Thread: Applet: Calculated variable can't be displayed

Hello guys,
i have started learning java lately, and a tutorial said creating a dice program would be a good idea. After i have done this i kinda wanted to "advance" a little. So I have no syntax errors at all, but the program just doesnt spit out anything. I would greatly appreciate help. (Some variables are in german, but i dont think that will stop anyone from helping me! :) )

import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

Where are you expecting to see anything?
Add some printlns to the code to show where the execution flow goes and what the values of variables are as they are used and set.

Please Edit your post and wrap your code with[code=java]<YOUR CODE HERE>[/code] to get highlighting

There is nothing immediately noticablely wrong. I mean, as long as that button is pressed, I don't see why the setText() lines wouldn't run. The only thing I'm not sure of is whether or not JLabels revalidate themselves. If not, that would be your problem. Someone else might know for sure how JLabels react to getting their text changed.
