escape sequence

[abrar alvi]

how do set escape sequence in setText() method???

here is an example code:

JButton b1b1 = new JButton("my buttton");
 b1.setText("CLICK ME \n TO VIEW");/* i want  to add TO VIEW 
                               in the next line not in the same line...*/

wrap the text in html tags and use the
br tag for your new line (all as a single string)

First off, the character for escape sequences in Java Strings is the backslash, not the forward slash. But the newline sequence will only be interpreted by text components that inherently support multiline text, and that doesn't include JButton.

Try using HTML with a <BR> tag.

I don't know if Swing elements recognize the backslash escape sequences, but if they do, you need to use a backslash, not a forward slash.

\n, not /n.
