Thread: Comboboxes in JFrame

Hi guys am trying to add two comboboxes in a frame. but am getting the problem in that. Kindly help me. i have tried many things but couldn't rectify the problem.


public class IndexPerformanceView extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private IndexPerformanceControl model;
private Box filter;
private JComboBox xchg;
private JComboBox chgtype;
private JFrame jframe;
private Object ContentPane;
public static int selectedindex;
public IndexPerformanceView() {

this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.HIDE_ON_CLOSE );
this.setIconImage(Images.LoadImage("icon.gif"));
model = new IndexPerformanceControl();
this.getContentPane().add(model, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
xchg = new JComboBox(new String[] { "NSE" });
xchg.addActionListener(this);
this.getContentPane().add(xchg, BorderLayout.CENTER);
chgtype = new JComboBox(new String[] { "Change%", "Change" });
chgtype.addActionListener(this);
this.getContentPane().add(chgtype, BorderLayout.EAST);
this.pack();
this.setTitle("IDX Performance");
this.setBounds(100, 100, 600, 480);
}

I recommend you read up on layouts. A google search of "java layouts" should get you on the right track.

@KevinWorkman. I need both the combo boxes in one panel side by side. i.e i need the xchg combo and chgtype combo side by side instead of the entire panel.i have kept the screenshot about my error..

@KevinWorkman i couldnt get two comboxes in a single panel.
