How do you pause a program until a button is pressed in JAVA?

Java Programming - jLabel Question?

• Hey guys- So in my program, I have a button that generates random numbers. When the generate button is pressed (by the user), I want one of the labels to update with the random number it generated. I am using a NetBeans Desktop Application. I know that jLabels have a .SetText property, but I can't even find the variable name that I named the label, in my class for the random numbers. How would I change the text after the user clicks the button? It looks like the labels were created in a class called GameView, and I am trying to reference them in another class called RNG. They were declared Private (automagically), and you cannot change this code. Help!

• Answer:

  You need to use an action listener with the button and add the code for changing the text in the label there. Since you posted no code and I don't know what your GameView class contains, that is the best advice I can give. http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/events/actionlistener.html
