Basic event handling

[abdaxz]

Hi,

I am quite new to WindowBuilder, but like it so far.

I have one question, though -- how does event handling work for buttons? I have put a textfield, a button and a label on a JPanel and I'd like to be able to transfer whatever is in the textfield to the label when pressing the button. I have so far created (using WindowBuilder) the addActionListener and its actionPerformed -- but inside it, it will not find the label or the textfield. Why? I just get "label1 cannot be resolved" in the actionPerformed.

I know this must be a simple question, but I can not for the life of me understand from the documentation how it is supposed to be done.

Please help!

Sounds like you need to assign the label to field rather than a local variable.
