You should see an applet above that allows you to type something into the textbox and then click on the button to copy it into the label.
import java.applet.Applet; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; public class ADemo2 extends Applet { Label lbl = new Label(); TextField txt = new TextField(); Button btn = new Button("Click Me!"); public void init() { setLayout(new GridLayout(3,1,5,5)); add(txt); add(lbl); add(btn); btn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() { public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { if (txt.getText().length() > 0) { lbl.setText(txt.getText()); txt.setText(""); } } }); } }
