jpanel

I can't get my JFrame from main class to display JPanel from another class. Everything compiles without errors. JFrameTest.java: package jframetest; import java.awt.FlowLayout; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; public class JFrameTest extends JFrame { public JFrameTest() { FlowLayout mainLayout = new FlowLayout(); setSize(320, 480); setResizable(false); setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); setLayout(mainLayout); JPanel panelMain = new JPanel(mainLayout); JButton testButton = new JButton("Test12"); panelMain.add(testButton); JPanelOne

I'm trying to get the Layout of a JDialog of mine to fit a particular look that a program in which I'm porting to Java has, I've used several LayoutManagers before with great success yet for some reason I cannot seem to get this working at all. My goal is to have the Right (East) side of the JDialog contain a "Find Next" and "Cancel" button in a top-down order and then any extra space below so that the two buttons are always at the top of the JDialog , yet for some reason BoxLayout is continously ignoring any attempts at changing (this is where I'm lost) the width of a JButton . Code follows.

I am in the process of making my own java socket game. My game is painting alright to the full screen (where it says "paint graphics here", but im painting to the whole jframe at the moment). I want to add a textbox with a scroll bar for displaying only text, not taking any input and another textbox to take text inputs from the user and then a button to send the text, for chat purposes. But onto my question, how do I even start to lay this out? I understand I need a layout, but can someone help me on this? Here is my code at the moment (this code only sets up painting to the whole screen at

I have a JPanel with some JLabel added with the add() method of JPanel. I want to align the JLabel to the right like the image below but I don't know how to do that. Any Idea? Thanks!

JLabel Horizontal Alignment You can use the JLabel constructor : JLabel(String text, int horizontalAlignment) To align to the right: JLabel label = new JLabel("Telephone", SwingConstants.RIGHT); JLabel also has setHorizontalAlignment : label.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.RIGHT); This assumes the component takes up the whole width in the container. Using Layout A different

Updated - this is related with the following link I posted yesterday. https://stackoverflow.com/questions/15916360/swing-gui-application-in-java-with-multiple-frames I apologize if I am doing something wrong here, I tried to write in my previous post and I couldn't find a way to do it beyond the comments box. I did some changes on my code, now I am working with 3 JPanels. I created a class for each panel except the main one that will hold in a CardLayout the other two. The main panel is created in my main class and application at the same time. Now I am trying to paint a happy face in one of

Please pardon me if this is hard to follow, but I have a specific problem that I need help solving. I have done a ton of research, and I have tried numerous solutions but none of them are working. My issue is that I have an ImagePanel class that is extending JPanel (code below), this class needs to use width and height to scale images (I am making a program where users can create custom tutorials including images). When I instantiate this I get an error saying that the width and height must be nonzero. I understand that this is because the layout manager has not yet passed the ImagePanel a
