JDialog
Hi.
This is my code:
The problem is that the two lables replace each other.How to position them where we want?JDialog dialog = new JDialog(); dialog.setSize(400, 150); dialog.setTitle("Input dialog"); dialog.add( new JLabel("simtime(min)") ); dialog.add( new JLabel("interval(sec)") ); dialog.setVisible(true);
?Thanks in advance

Re: JDialog
By default, the first label is going to be the same location as the second label.
You need to set the x/y coordinates so the computer knows where to position each
label. If you have no coordinates, you will only see the most recent label as this is
placed on top of the other labels of the creative stack.

How to specifythe coordinates?Originally Posted by Ada Lovelace
Re: JDialog
You shouldn't specify the location or size manually. You should use a layout manager instead. Recommended reading: Lesson: Laying Out Components Within a Container (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing)

Re: JDialog
I presume Ada is referring to the setLocation method of JComponent - this will not work with most layout managers. The default LayoutManager of the JDialog content pane is BorderLayout - google this for how it works. For instance, adding the second JLabel to BorderLayout.NORTH will allow both labels to be seen, however this may not be the behavior you wish so I recommend playing with layout's linked in Kevin's post

Re: JDialog
Well, I used the method setBounds(). Thank you guys
Re: JDialog
Like we said, that is almost definitely not the way to go. You should get into the habit of using a layout manager, otherwise you're in for a world of headaches down the road.
