What does getContentPane mean?

[David1234]

what does this line of code mean:
Container c = getContentPane();

what is a container and what does getContentPane() do?

[Zyril]

A container is an AWT / Swing object that can hold other components. It's like a drawing area where you assign it to use a layout manager to determine how and where other components are placed.

I suggest that you read into it in the Java tutorial where it is covered:

Using Top-Level Containers (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing > Using Swing Components)
