Thread: 1 JFrame, more JPanels

lang.Object
awt.Component
awt.Container
swing.JComponent
swing.JPanel

I changed from C++ to Java and may use C++ terms instead of java's. art.Component is super - super of JPanel, so JPanel can call all but the private functions of Component. I need more JPanels in my JFrame, since the panels need different Layoutmanagers.

I tried to do so:

JPanel Area1 = new JPanel();
Area1.setBounds(int,int,int,int)

and expected to run:


java/awt/Component.java::2111: public void SetBounds(int x,int y,int w,int h){
reshape (x,y,w,h);,

but reshape() is flagged as deprecated and replaced by setBounds() !!! Absolute nonsense!

JPanel Display = new Panel();
Display.setBounds(12,12,288,208)
gives:
line xxx: <identifier> expected
Display.setBounds(12,12,288,208)
^


WHAT IS WRONG HERE?

I am thinking you need a Dimension there for you need setMinuminSize(new Dimension(width, height)) ; //semi colon...
setMaximumSize(new Dimension(width,height);
setPreferedSize(new Dimension(width,height);
your looking a JPanel this may help what is going on... setBounds



Just a helper with building gui's use the gui builder in netbeans or a gui builder in your platform. Then use the properties to help you out.

I use gui's all the time but I dont have a platform on this computer.
