What do you mean by "reset"? What have you tried? Where are you stuck?

**newtolearningjava** · April 14th, 2014, 08:02 AM

**KevinWorkman** · April 14th, 2014, 08:16 AM

Why aren't you able to reset the text for that JLabel?

**newtolearningjava** · April 14th, 2014, 08:19 AM

i am not sure on how do to this, that is why i asked and created the thread

You've posted code that sets the text of a JLabel. What is preventing you from using that code on the JLabel you want to reset?

footer.add(new JLabel("Correct: "));
...
footer.add(new JLabel(buttonClicked.getText()));

You're adding these JLabels to the footer, but you have no reference variable for them, so there's no direct way to set their text to "". But I don't think that's what you really want, I think you want to get rid of them altogether (because new ones will be created during the next game). In that case you're looking for footer.removeAll() and footer.revalidate().

You have this:
gui.correctLabel.setText("");

**GregBrannon** · April 15th, 2014, 02:37 AM

Baffled. I don't understand why the line below won't work.

label.setText( "" );

If you can provide more info as to why it is more difficult than that, please do.

If the statement is not executed, the label is not cleared. Is the if statement true?

if (gui.buttonCounter > gui.ROWS * gui.COLUMNS) {

Add a println() statement to show the values used in that if statement to see what it sees when it is executed.

Did you have a question or comment?

whats wrong with my code? why doesnt the

**Norm** · April 15th, 2014, 06:45 AM

why doesnt the correctLabel take the buttonclicked values away from it?

Sorry, that last post does not make sense. Labels don't interact. It's the code that makes changes to labels.

What do you expect to be in each label AFTER that code executes?
Give the name of the label and its expected contents.

**newtolearningjava** · April 15th, 2014, 06:52 AM

How do

**Norm** · April 15th, 2014, 07:15 AM

make the correctLabel to have all the text disappear

Execute this code:

correctLabel.setText(" ");

Is the program executing that code? If not, why isn't it?
What are the values of the variables used in the if statement that controls if that statement is executed?

Ya, I pointed that out to you several posts ago.

New labels without reference variables are hard to access if you want to change their values.
