GUI Issue

Hi friends, i have an issue , I want to make JButton that will grow a circle. I have JButton in the frame using BorderLayout on the WEST side of the frame i want to link up the two so that when the JButton is clicked the circle will grow or become bigger. I have thought and reached max. Am a newbie

Code:

---

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

public class GrowCircle extends JPanel {

        int x = 225;
        int y = 200;

        JFrame frame;

        public static void main(String[] args) {
                GrowCircle g = new GrowCircle();
                g.setUpScreen();

        }

        public void setUpScreen() {

                JFrame frame = new JFrame();
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

                CircleDrawPanel drawPanel = new CircleDrawPanel();
               
               

                frame.getContentPane().add(drawPanel);
                frame.setVisible(true);
                frame.setSize(500, 500);

                JButton east = new JButton("Click me to grow the circle");
               

                frame.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.EAST, east);
               

        }

        class CircleDrawPanel extends JPanel {
                public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
                        g.setColor(Color.blue);
                        g.fillOval(x, y, 50, 50);

                }
 
        }
       
       

}

You didn't bother to return to the last thread you started before asking this near-identical question here. Nor did you return to the cross post you started on JavaRanch. --edit: see my remarks in the thread linked in the next paragraph.

I'm closing this thread. If you have anything to add, add it on your earlier thread: http://www.java-forums.org/new-java/...s-50-50-a.html
