Hi TAM
I want to open webpage,when I click "TAM - BORN TO WIN" String.How will I do it?Pls help me.Mainly,I want to place a "JLabel Component" at the "TAM-BORN TO WIN" String.Thank in advance.

[TAM]

Yeah.. you can do..
Just move the coordinates of the Label in the timer event.
Handle the click event of the Label to open the Web Page

Hi Tam
Pls help me again.I am ok with your idea.But I want to make multile JLabel or JTextField with multiple Link in Marquee.I can do only one.Here is my code
[code]

import java.awt.*;
import java.io.IOException;
import java.util.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class MovingText extends JFrame implements ActionListener{
JLabel label;
JLabel label2;
JLabel label3;
public MovingText()
{
label = new JLabel( "Hello World,Where there is will there is& nbsp;a way");
//label2 = new JLabel(" ......Testing");
//label3 = new JLabel(label.getText().concat(label2.getText()));
getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.NORTH);
/*label.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
if(evt.getClickCount() > 0){
try {
Process pc = Runtime.getRuntime().exec("cmd.exe /c start http://www.iwebie.com");
} catch (IOException ex) {
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
System.out.println();
}
}
}
});
label2.addMouseListener(new java.awt.event.MouseAdapter() {
public void mouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
if(evt.getClickCount() > 0){
try {

} catch (IOException ex) {
System.out.println(ex.getMessage());
System.out.println();
}
}
}
});*/
javax.swing.Timer timer = new javax.swing.Timer(100, this);
timer.start();
//System.out.println("Label 3 "+label3.getText());
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String oldText = label.getText();
String newText = oldText.substring(1) + oldText.substring(0, 1);
label.setText( newText );
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
MovingText frame = new MovingText();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
frame.setSize(300,100);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

[code]

As you know, I takes the times for many weeks about that.So Pls help me.Thank in advance.:)

Hi TAM,
How are you?I need your help again.If possible,pls help me again.I don't know about Timer and Thread very well.

1.At my application,I want toadd marquee Panel at the below of my Frame as you know.
2.And when I click a Menuitem,marquee text will change.

I can do that cases with your help.But I have some problem until now.
Problems are

1.Marquee text's movement more quick,when I click a menuitem one times and one times.
2.When I resize my frame,frame expands as much as Marquee text's length has.My marquee text is very very long.May be nearly 4000 width of text.(At that time ,I can't resize my frame)

Pls help me about that cases.Here my Marquee.java program.It is the portion of my application.
