What I'm trying to do is have an image set as a label. My problem is when I go to change the image through a confirmation button, nothing happens.
I'm using NetBeans JFrame Designer or whatever, but here is what its doing..
Default, I have the JLabel set as normal no changes or anything. basically I made it and removed the text, so its empty. Now when the user clicks a button, I want an image to come up, as they choose. Basically I'm trying to change the color of an image, that they choose it to go to.
frontDesign = new JLabel(new ImageIcon(Functions.getShirt("front")));
This is what I'm using to change it. basically I'm resetting the JLabel, which isn't doing anything.. Is there another solution, or am I doing something wrong?
Don't create a new label. Changing the reference of a variable does not add the label to the GUI. The newly created label is just sitting in memory doing nothing.
Just use:
frontDesign.setIcon(...);
This will replace the icon off the label currently displayed on the frame.
