methods:
A. JLabel.

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Font;

public JavaApplication3()
{
super("GUI Example");
setLayout( new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.CENTER) );

L = new JLabel( "Enter a Name:");


L.setToolTipText( "This is a label");
ImageIcon bug1= new ImageIcon("bug1.gif");
L.setIcon( bug1 );
L.setHorizontalTextPosition( SwingConstants.RIGHT );

B1 = new JButton ("Display");


ImageIcon show= new ImageIcon("show.gif");
B1.setIcon(show);
add(B1);

B2 = new JButton ("Exit");


add(B2);

ButtonHandler handler = new ButtonHandler ();


B1.addActionListener ( handler );
B2.addActionListener ( handler );
}

private class ButtonHandler implements ActionListener


{
public void actionPerformed ( ActionEvent event )
{
if (event.getSource() == B1 )
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog ( null , "Name entered: " + T.getText() );
else if (event.getSource() == B2 )
System.exit(0);
//event.getActionCommand ()
}
}
public static void main( String args[] )
{
JavaApplication3 labelFrame = new JavaApplication3();
labelFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
labelFrame.setSize( 900, 300 );
labelFrame.setLocation( 350, 200 );
labelFrame.setVisible( true );
}
}

Label L = new JLabel("TEXT");
