I am trying to learn to program Java after a layoff

I am kind of rusty so what I have been doing is a simple program where
I try to put a label on an applet and a button that changes the text of
the label. I am using Sun Java Studio Creater but I am a tad confused
because I have not done a lot of Java in a while. Can someone give me
some idea as to how I make a button change the text of a label? I was
under the impression I use its onClick event but I have been unable to
get the software to access that event or rather method.

Assuming you're using the Swing API in your JApplet, see the following:

Java Studio Creator is intended for producing web based applications
where the user interacts with the application using a web browser like
Firefox, and the application runs on a "remote" server like the Sun
Application Server included with Creator. The GUI designer is creating
Java Server Faces pages _not_ applets.

If you want to create an applet download NetBeans from
<www.netbeans.org>. If you are rusty I suggest you start with a
desktop application instead of an applet.
