Swinging...

I want to display a line of text in another panel when a user click on 1 of the menu items..

I've tried creating a label in the actionPerformed method listening to the menu item and add it to the panel..but it doesn't work..

how do i do that?

Add a blank label to the panel at initialization, and use the label's setText method when
new text is to be displayed, you don't have to (re)create a label every time its going
to display some text,
