JTextField

[ed]

Hi, I'm having major trouble positioning two fields a JTextField & JPasswordField
for a login dialog box that I'm trying to create. Is it just me or would
this Swing story seem quite annoyingly intricate, Boxes and frames and panels
and....YUCK!!!

Any help would be appreciated

tia,

Hello Ed:

Use setBounds(int,int,int,int) to position either component anywhere you
want. I always try to add the component to the container first, then call
setBounds() and pass in x,y,width,height (can't remember specific order off
the top of my head - sorry).

HTH,

Tom

if you find Swing "annoyingly intricate", then i believe you're doing something
really wrong. Are you using any graphical IDE? if not, better get one. And
have you even heard of a Layout Manager? If you want to line those fields
up, throw them in a JPanel with GridLayout!
