Still regarding the image instead of text, it still does not appear to be working. If you could be so kind, can you please show me how to setIcon using the code.

Code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public cl*** TicTacToeV2 implements ActionListener {
	/*Instance Variables*/
	private int[][] winCombinations = new int[][] {
			{0, 1, 2}, {3, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 8}, //horizontal wins
			{0, 3, 6}, {1, 4, 7}, {2, 5, 8}, //virticle wins
			{0, 4, 8}, {2, 4, 6}			 //diagonal wins
		};
	private JFrame window = new JFrame("Tic-Tac-Toe");
	private JButton buttons[] = new JButton[9];
	private int count = 0;
	private String letter = "";
	private boolean win = false;

	public TicTacToeV2(){
	/*Create Window*/
	window.setSize(300,300);
	window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	window.setLayout(new GridLayout(3,3));
	
	/*Add Buttons To The Window*/
	for(int i=0; i<=8; i++){
		buttons[i] = new JButton();
		window.add(buttons[i]);
		buttons[i].addActionListener(this);
	}
	
	/*Make The Window Visible*/
	window.setVisible(true);
	}
	
	/**
	 When an object is clicked, perform an action.
	 @param a action event object
	 */
	public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent a) {
		count++;
		
		/*Calculate whose turn it is*/
		if(count % 2 == 0){
			letter = "O";
		} else {
			letter = "X";
		}

		/*Write the letter to the button and deactivate it*/
		 JButton pressedButton = (JButton)a.getSource(); 
		 pressedButton.setText(letter);
		 pressedButton.setEnabled(false);
		
		/*Determine who won*/
		for(int i=0; i<=7; i++){
			if( buttons[winCombinations[i][0]].getText().equals(buttons[winCombinations[i][1]].getText()) && 
				buttons[winCombinations[i][1]].getText().equals(buttons[winCombinations[i][2]].getText()) && 
				buttons[winCombinations[i][0]].getText() != ""){
				win = true;
			}
		}
		
		/*Show a dialog when game is over*/
		if(win == true){
			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, letter + " wins the game!");
			System.exit(0);
		} else if(count == 9 && win == false){
			JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, "The game was tie!");

From the looks of it, you've made no changes to my code. Show me what you did and I will help.

Have you looked at the Javadocs?

Java Platform 1.2 Beta 4 API Specification: Cl*** JButton

[The Midnighter]

I'm having trouble creating a working win function, so I googled it.. and here I am.

I know this thread is meretriciously old, but I really need this help lol.
Here's my current code:

Code:

package tictactoe;

import javax.swing.JButton;

import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public cl*** TicTacToeForm extends javax.swing.JFrame implements ActionListener

    private int[][] winCombinations = new int[][] {
        {0, 1, 2}, {3, 4, 5}, {6, 7, 8}, //horizontal wins
        {0, 3, 6}, {1, 4, 7}, {2, 5, 8}, //virticle wins
        {0, 4, 8}, {2, 4, 6}			 //diagonal wins
    };
    private String turn = "";
    private String config[] = new String[10];
    private boolean win = false;
    private int count = 0;

}

Right now, my checkWinner(); function doesn't work at all, I tried to adapt a few ideas from this thread, but it didn't help a whole lot.
Any help is appreciated.

Well there is 3 things I noticed.
1) You used a crappy IDE to generate your code, use a descent IDE like eclipse and write every line of code yourself and it wont look like fecal matter.

2) Your config array starts at 1 and goes to 9, yet winCombinations[][] only only checks an array from 0 to 8.

3) checkWinner() is never called...
