    Default Java GUI help

    Hi

    Could anyone tell me what GUI components can i use to display student details in a grid cell? Lets say i wanted to put like

    First name: studentName
    Last name: studentLastName
    DOB: studentDOB

    So these three details to be placed in one grid cell and in another grid cell the same details just for different student and so on for a total of 8 students. The grid view is 2 rows and 4 columns. By the way i am taking the student info from a model already implemented.

    Could you help me with this?

    Appreciate any help. Thanks

    Have you looked at the Tutorial?
    Go to this site and Find GUI
    The Really Big Index

    There are several layout managers that build a grid. Their class names begin with Grid

    Looks like you need to use a GridLayout. It's the easiest layout to use if you want a grid. To display the text, you can use JLabels or JTextAreas. I recommend JLabels as they are easier and look nicer for what you are trying to do here. Just add them one by one to your JPanel and the layout will align them correctly for you.

    Hello needJavaHelp,

    I think using JTable is best approach. The table will have 3 columns and 8 rows which correspond to 3 fields and 8 students.

    immutable objects
