setBounds for Borders

[greekgoddj]

Hello.

i have a TitledBorder which I want to use the setBounds() methods to set its position and size in a Panel. The panel itslef has a layout set to NULL.. I can place buttons, sliders etc etc and all work with the setBounds method except the TitledBorder. It won't compile. I looked at the API documentation and i noticed that the class does not inherit anything from the Component class, therefore missing the setBounds() method!

how can I get around this? Would i need to create a new border class that extends TitledBorder and somehow incoporte the Component features? How would such thing be done??


Thanks in advance!!!

No, that would require multiple inheritance.

I don't think you can "set the bounds" - it'll be as large as the String it contains.
