Radio Button

[S-NESH]

Hello there,

Im trying to have my radio buttons in rows like in the picture below


But I dont know how to put my second radio button right under the 1st one. I thought of having 4 panels for each rows and the 1st panel is set to 'BorderLayout. NORTH' and 2nd one is set to 'BorderLayout. WEST'. What should I put for the 3rd one or is there any other ways for me to radio buttons like in the picture?

My code:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class GUI extends JFrame
{
	JLabel lbl1;
	JTextField txt1;
	JRadioButton rdb1;
	JTextField txt2;
	JRadioButton rdb2;
	JRadioButton rdb3;

	GUI()
	{
		setLayout (new BorderLayout());
		lbl1 = new JLabel("Enter New Message: ");
		txt1 = new JTextField (20);
		rdb1 = new JRadioButton("RED");
		txt2 = new JTextField (25);
		txt2.setEditable (false);
		rdb2 = new JRadioButton ("GREEN");
		rdb3 = new JRadioButton ("BLUE");

		JPanel p1 = new JPanel ();
		JPanel p2 = new JPanel ();
		JPanel p3 = new JPanel ();
		JPanel p4 = new JPanel ();
		JPanel p5 = new JPanel ();

		p1.add (lbl1);
		p1.add (txt1);
		p2.add (rdb1);
		p2.add (txt2);
		//p3.add (rdb2);
		//p4.add (rdb3);


		add (p1, BorderLayout. NORTH);
		add (p2, BorderLayout. WEST);
		//add (p3, BorderLayout. WEST);
		//add (p4, BorderLayout. CENTER);


	}

	public static void main(String[]args)
	{
		GUI g = new GUI();
		g.pack();
		g.setSize(400,150);
		g.setVisible(true);
		g.setDefaultCloseOperation (JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
		g.setTitle("CompleteGUI");

	}

Thanks in advance..

add(rdb1, BorderLayout.CENTER);

}
}

I think this will work.

I'd do it like this: at the top level stick three JComponents in a BorderLayout:

NORTH: a JTextField (Welcome to JAVA)
WEST: a JPanel (1)
CENTER: a JPanel (2)

(1) a JPanel with a GridLayout having three rows: one for each JRadioButton.
(2) a JPanel with a GridLayout having three rows; only the first row filled with a JLabel (Welcome to JAVA)

kind regards,

Jos

How do I set the GridLayouts position? Like for example, in BorderLayout we set it

p2.add([COLOR="Red"]BorderLayout.NORTH[/COLOR], new JButton ("north"));

. But I've no idea whats the code in GridLayout. I tried

add (p2, GridLayout. WEST);

but it doesnt work. It has errors. Can you help me?

No, no, no, you add another JPanel to your top level JPanel. That other JPanel has a GridLayout. JPanels by themself aren't visible but they are Containers so they can contain other JComponents.

[j2me64]

and if you want to add multiple jpanels to the jframe your must first get the contentPane of the jframe like

Container contentPane = getContentPane();

and then you can add your different panels with

contentPane.add(yourPanel, BorderLayout.Direction)

where Direction must be one of them here
