Help with JButtons into JFrame

[g6pd]

Hello every1,
I am trying to make a Frame that will show up the string "Mode Of The Game"
and beneath it will show 2 buttons..
somethings in the code is wrong and causes the buttons the be all over the Frame..

the frame should look like this :
----------Frame----------

Mode of the game

------------------
- Button1 -
------------------
------------------
- Button2 -
------------------
please find the mistake :D thanks

 
public class TicTacToe {
    
    public static void main(String[] args) {	
   	
   	createMode();
}
	public static void createMode()
	{
		Settings mode = new Settings();
		mode.setSize(400,400);
		mode.setTitle("Mode Of The Game");
		JButton cmp=new JButton("Player vs Computer");
		cmp.setSize(150,50);
		cmp.setLocation(150,50);
		JButton plyr=new JButton("Player vs Player");
		plyr.setSize(150,50);
		plyr.setLocation(120,150);
		mode.add(cmp);
		mode.add(plyr);
		mode.setVisible(true);
	}
}

class Settings extends JFrame
{
		public void paint (Graphics g)
	{
		super.paint(g);
		g.setColor(Color.black);
		String str="Choose The Mode Of The Game";	
		Font font = new Font(str,3,25);
		g.setFont(font);
		g.drawString(str,20,90);
	}
}

Your mistake is that you're using layouts incorrectly. It looks like you're trying to use a null layout, which is bad enough, but you never set the JFrame (or more accurately, its contentPane) to have a null layout.

You mean the default layout, not a null layout, right? JFrame's (well, JRootPane's) content pane is a JPanel, with a default layout of BorderLayout. See Source for javax.swing.JRootPane (GNU Classpath 0.97.2 Documentation).

I am well aware of that. However, the OP is trying to set the bounds of the components directly, which imply that he's trying to use a null layout.

set the layout of the mode to null and make sure all component are a correct size and a correct position. for example, your font with 25 and position 20, 90 will touch the border of the jframe. other mistake: a button with the location 150,50 and the other with the location 120,150 will vertical never be in-line.

set the layout of the mode to null

Bad advice. Learn how to use the layout managers. Kevin's already provided a link in the first response.
