I only get the labels on my toolbarbuttons, and not my icons.
the icons are in a directory Images, but when using "Images/open.gif", it won't work. (like in bginning java2: JDK 1.3: sketcher application)when using setText(null), I only get some raised pixels (actions on this still work though), but nothing more.
can someone help me?

Are you sure the Icons are loading? i.e. have you tried drawing them in a window or setting them on a button? See if you are getting an IOException...

In Java 2 book, page 775, they gave URL address to get gif files
for ToolBar icons (open, print, etc). I went to their site to
download it but the site did not have it.

Where can I find the gif files for icons used to JToolBar for GUI
design? You can email me at [email protected]

Thanks.

Here you go...

JToolBar toolBar = new JToolBar();

JButton stock = new JButton(new ImageIcon("com/objectpro/smartforex/images/stock.gif"));
toolBar.add(stock);

Please give the location where I can find the gif files. Thanks.

Check out Sun's javasoft site ( java.sun.com ) -- I don't have the exact URL, however they have available a package of icons for use with Swing which includes all the standard open/save/save as / print /etc. icons. If you use those you will have the benefit of having a standard UI that users of other Swing applications will understand intuitivley.
