Adding label and text box control to GUI

Question

I would like to know what code to insert and where to add a simple label that can just say the word \"Label\" and a input text box that I can enter a number.

pub         


        

Answer 1

in your public static void main() method you should not instantiate JFrame frame = new JFrame("Calculations");

This is where you are going wrong!

That line should read:

CalculateDimensions frame = new CalculateDimensions("Calculations");

You will also need to change the line says

public class CalculateDimensions {

(it's near the top) says

public class CalculateDimensions extends JFrame {

then inside the method called public class CalculateDimensions { you need to add a line after JPanel jplInnerPanel1 = createInnerPanel("First Tab"); which says

jplInnerPanel1.add(new JLabel("Label");

Answer 2

The Swing tutorial is an excellent resource for building GUIs.

Take a look at the visual guide and click on the components you want for detailed how to guides for creating text boxes, and other items.
