cant seem to figure out this section: 3 JLabel’s for’Option’, ‘Square’ and ‘Direction’, & JTextField’s for the current option, location/square and direction of the robot

Please edit your post and wrap your code with code tags:
[code=java]
<YOUR CODE HERE>
[/code]
to get highlighting and preserve formatting.

Do you have any specific questions or problems?

yes, the robot moves in all directions, pushes the bomb, there is a red bricked area and compass which I have created code for, however i cant seem to figure out this section: create 3 JLabel’s for’Option’, ‘Square’ and ‘Direction’, & JTextField’s for the current option, location/square and direction of the robot

Task

Basic System Requirements (Graphical User Interface):
• 30 x 30 grid of JButton’s or Icon’s.
• 4 JButton’s for ‘Option 1-3’ and ‘Exit’.
• 3 JButton’s for ‘Act’, ‘Run’ and ‘Reset’.
• 9 JButton’s for ‘Forward >’, ‘Backwards <’, ‘Up ^’, ‘Down v’ should move the robot in the appropriate direction by one square for each press (plus 5 blank).
• The compass icon (JButton) should illustrate the current direction for the robot.
• 3 JLabel’s for’Option’, ‘Square’ and ‘Direction’.
• JTextField’s for the current option, location/square and direction of the robot. Use your own square identification method e.g 1 to 273 and N, E etc.
• Create a JFrame application, which opens to the set size (875 * 550).
• JFrame title set as "CBombRobot Application".

create 3 JLabel’s for’Option’, ‘Square’ and ‘Direction’, & JTextField’s for the current option, location/square and direction of the robot

What is the problem with creating those JLabels?

**javabc** · April 21st, 2013, 07:16 AM

I dont know how to create jlabels and i cant remember bieng taught it in lectures, could you please help me?? as i have got my assignment due at 23.59pm today and thats what i need, been trying to figure it out for hours, (I know i look like a noob)

would greatly appreciate it

**Norm** · April 21st, 2013, 07:42 AM

a JLabel is just another component that can be added to the GUI to display text or an image.
Create an instance of the JLabel and add it to a container just like is done with a JButton component.

See the tutorial: How to Use Labels (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components)

**javabc** · April 21st, 2013, 07:43 AM

do these jlabels have to be created as part of a different program then imported??

**Norm** · April 21st, 2013, 07:47 AM

Treat them the same as the JButtons or other components added to the GUI.
Read the tutorial.

**javabc** · April 21st, 2013, 07:59 AM

thank you, ill take a quick look at the tutorial
