New to Java - Need Help

Hi Experts,

I am new to java,and I am trying to display the button on frame. Please find the code below


import java.awt.Button;
import java.awt.Frame;

public class ButtonDiaplay extends Frame{

public ButtonDiaplay()
{
setBounds(50,90,250,350);
setTitle("Bouncing Rect");
setResizable(true);
// setLayout(null);

Button create = new Button("Create");
setBounds(70, 100, 50, 10);
this.add(create);
setVisible(true);
} //ButtonDiaplay
public static void main(String[] args){
ButtonDiaplay display = new ButtonDiaplay();
}
}// end ButtonDisplay

On executing the code, the button is overlapping on the frame size.Can anyone let me know why this is happening?

I dono want to use Swing and Applet. Through normal AWT only I want to display my button with any given size

Also, if I set the layout as setLayout(null) then I am not able to see my button. Could anyone please explain me why on setting the layout I am not able see the button.

If I make setResizable(false),then I am seeing only the pane, I have attached screen shot in the attachment.

Waiting for the quick reply.
Thanks in advance.

When you use setBounds, you are responsible for where components are positioned.
Did you check that the bounds don't overlap?

Hi Norms,
thanks for yur reply. How do we check that its overlapping or not.
Even I change the value of setBounds(50,90,250,350) as setBounds(200,200,250,350) , my button is getting over lapped.

Could you please help me out? I had other query also which I had posted in my previous thread.
Response will be appreciable.

I just noticed that you call setBounds two times for the same component.

Have you posted your current version?

Please put your code in code tags. Info here: Java Forums - BB Code List

Thanks once again. Please find the code. Also I added mouselistner for closing the form but its not working

Code:

---

public class ButtonDiaplay extends Frame{
        Frame frame = new Frame("Zahid");
        Label lab = new Label("safia");
        Button but = new Button("Hi");
       
        public ButtonDiaplay()
                {
                frame.setVisible(true);
                frame.setSize(300, 300);
               
                frame.add(lab);
                but.setBounds(20,20,100,30);
                frame.add(but);
                addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
                        public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){
                        e.getWindow().dispose();
                        System.exit(0);
                        }
                      });
                        }
public static void main(String[] args){
                ButtonDiaplay display = new ButtonDiaplay();
        }

Reply will be appreciable

Now you have two Frames?
ButtonDiaplay extends Frame
Frame frame = new Frame("Zahid");

And the window listener is connected to the hidden one.

Can you describe what your problem is now?

same button is overlapping the frame. I can see the button size eqaul to the frame size. Also you said that window listner is connected to the hidden one, that means if I inherit my base class and also I instantiate the object of the same parent class then in that case my inherit class will lose its property. Is my understanding is correct? Please correct me if I am wrong.

You set the position of the button. If it is too high, move it down.

There are two separate, unrelated windows. There relationship has nothing to do with inherit or parent class.
The window closing box [X] for the hidden window will never be visible to be pressed.
Does the code work for you?

@cliffh Please start your own thread. Don't tag onto someone else's. Your stuff will be ignored and lost here.

Nope its not working. Could you please provide me the working code with small size button on the frame.
That means that if I am adding the components to the frame then that will be visible irrespective of local variable or inherit. Please correct me if I am wrong

The frame object that you call setVisible(true) for will be visible.

working code with small size button

frame.setLayout(null); // You are doing the layout with setBounds
but.setBounds(20,50,100,30); // y has been changed to move the button down


and move the call to setVisible(true) to the last thing done in the constructor

thanks a lot Norm for your help. Now its working.That means that for each and every compone I need to do setBound explictly.

Yes. You should learn how to use layout managers. Setting bounds explicitly will make maintenance of your code more difficult and inflexible.
