My previous post I described how to get and set JButton icons.Today am going to demonstrate how to get JButton Text.

JButton getText Example

[

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.LookAndFeel;
import javax.swing.UIManager;
public class JavaJButton {

    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        try        {
            UIManager.setLookAndFeel
                    ("com.sun.java.swing.plaf.windows.WindowsClassicLookAndFeel");
        }
        catch(Exception e)
        {
        }
        JFrame frame=new JFrame("Jbutton Example");
        JButton button=new JButton("Save");


        JLabel field=new JLabel();
        field.setBounds(50,50, 150,20);
        frame.add(field);
        button.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
            {
                String text=button.getText();
                field.setText("Button Name is="+text);

            }


        });


        button.setBounds(100,100,95,30);
        frame.add(button);
        frame.setSize(400,400);
        frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
        frame.setLayout(null);
        frame.setVisible(true);



    }

}
