Label

The simplest AWT component is label. Labels do not respond to the user inputs, and they do not send any other events.

 The following constructors are used to create a label.

Label()

Label(String caption)

Label(String caption, alignment)

The first constructor creates a empty label. The second one creates a specified text in the label. The default alignment to the label is left. The third constructor is used for creating a label with your alignment. The alignment values are:

                 Label.CENTER

         Label.RIGHT

         Label.LEFT

There are two methods supports the reading and setting text for the label.

getText()    - It returns the text from the Label

setText()    - It set the text for the Label 

Example:

import java.applet.*;

import java.awt.*;

public class LabelDemo extends Applet

{

public void init()

        {

             setLayout(new GridLayout(2,1));

             setBackground(Color.yellow);

             Label l1=new Label("Java Programming");

             Label l2=new Label("by surendranath Reddy",Label.CENTER);

             add(l1);

             add(l2);

        }

}

/*

<applet code="LabelDemo.class" width=200 height=75>

</applet>

*/
