lost focus

A JLabel is to be given focus and then a JButton is to be pressed to perform some changes on the JLabel...how should i proceed??
should i try giving the focuslost event on the label or the button??

if you have multiple labels, perhaps a better option might be to instead use JRadioButtons (added to a ButtonGroup),
then when the button is clicked, it changes what it has to change of the selected radiobutton.

Prachi, is this question going the same way as your last one? That is to say, you ask, others respond, you disappear

noo..sorry for the last one...
that was a similar issue..its resolved now...my fault
actually i have to use labels because i am using an image as icon
now i have to change the image at runtime pressing a button...but there are many labels
so focus needs to be given to the label to be changed...but there is no focus for a label right??
so is there some other way to use images other than label-icons???
or some way to give focus to the label?

What Darryl means is that, even if your problem was resolved, the ranchers here appreciate it if you let them know.

Anyway, you can listen for focus on all the labels, and have a variable somewhere in which you save which of the labels was the last one to receive focus. Then when you press the button, receive the appropriate label from the variable.

> actually i have to use labels because i am using an image as icon

several other components also display images

Thanks for the replies...
though i found the solution...i had completely forgotten about the mouseclicked event...
thanks everyone..
