you can't however the constructor JLabel(String) accepts a String that will be displayed as the text of the JLabel

[vagrant veldt]

ok but thats not what I wont I want to save and load the hole JLabel

Is there any other way?

[elfin canopy]

from a file ?

[vagrant veldt]

Yes

Its stored like this:

[elfin canopy]

you are just printing the output of the toString() method to the file, aren't you ?

[vagrant veldt]

no I write the JLabel dirctly in it

[elfin canopy]

how exactly ?

[elfin canopy]

yeah that's what I meant. Have a look at ObjectInputStream and ObjectOutputStream if you are trying to store and load the entire state of the object. This is pretty easy to implement since JLabel implements the Serializable interface. Otherwise you may also find it beneficial to write your own save/load mechanism if you only need certain properties.

Why is there no file?

[elfin canopy]

because you referenced a folder

[vagrant veldt]

Hä?

where do you mean?

wait I have it

Now I juse Input and Outputstream and how can I store the data in the variables when I read?

thx

It says the I cant serialize static variables

[vagrant veldt]

all my variables are static

[elfin canopy]

you don't need to serialise your class. You need to serialse the labels.

Is there no other way to save a JLabel and load it?

[elfin canopy]

you have always the option to write your own save/load method
