    Default getComponentAt() return defaultIcon

    Im trying to get the defaultIcon from getComponentAt()

    mediaPanel.getComponentAt(arg0.getX(), arg0.getY())

    And i get the putput:
    javax.swing.JLabel[,2,0,151x228,alignmentX=0.0,alignmentY=0.0,border=,flags=8388608,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,defaultIcon=https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/16670644/Projekt/TempPic.png,disabledIcon=,horizontalAlignment=CENTER,horizontalTextPosition=TRAILING,iconTextGap=4,labelFor=,text=,verticalAlignment=CENTER,verticalTextPosition=CENTER]

    Now i'm trying to catch the defaultIcon as a string via:
    String returnString = mediaPanel.getComponentAt(arg0.getX(), arg0.getY());
    String tempString = returnString.substring(indexOf("defaultIcon")+12);
    String defaultIcon = tempString.substring(0,indexOf(","));
    But i cant convert a component to a string, i tried parse it but without luck.

    Default Re: getComponentAt() return defaultIcon

    Have you read the API doc?
    What does the getComponentAt() method return?
    Is there a method that returns the default Icon?
    How can the two be connected?

    What you have posted looks like it is trying to parse the String returned by the toString() method.
    If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

    Icon returnString = ((JLabel) mediaPanel.getComponentAt(arg0.getX(), arg0.getY())).getIcon();
    System.out.println(returnString);

    I did this and it works.
