hay guys

hay i'm using java to make a little app of sorts and i'm having some problems with making a gui.

i'm wondering how to make a button click rename the button that you clicked.. I tried making the button a class variable and calling the button.setName method on it but it didn't do anything. maybe a way to refresh/redraw the gui?

the whole actionlistener deal is sort of confusing >:O

any halp would be appreciated, i'm using JFrames and JButtons here

ty, and yes i am a noob

Stop using Java and go use a real programming language...

I didn't know the answer to your problem but I'm in a good mood so I decided to look it up.

You need to use the setText method, not setName. That is all.

btw:

http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/AbstractButton.html#setText(java.lang.String)

[code]final JButton b = new JButton("aaa");
b.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
        b.setText("bbb");
    }
} );[code]

*unfnf* java gets me so fucking hard

FUCK

thanks guys :D
