[/quote] Bad! And wrong too! You're implicitly using a NullLayout, which you should never, ever use. Re: SetBounds of Components 18 Years Ago by Ghost And why not use a NullLayout? It's an official Java class, so what is wrong with it? Is it just personal preference? Also, I have seen many, many, many projects/games use this style. What should I do instead? Thanks Re: SetBounds of Components 18 Years Ago by Ezzaral Use GridLayout or GridBagLayout. Re: SetBounds of Components 18 Years Ago by Ghost [QUOTE=Ezzaral;394262]Use GridLayout or GridBagLayout.[/QUOTE] Those do not use pixel locations. They simply use a grid that the user defines. I need to use pixel locations. Re: SetBounds of Components 18 Years Ago by masijade Using a NullLayout is not Platform independent as the varying underlying graphics systems display things differently, so the bounds are not always (and usually are not) the same and so your layout will not always work. As far as the buttons showing up under the image, remove everything from the panel before displaying the image, then after … Re: SetBounds of Components 18 Years Ago by Ghost Ahh... now this makes sense :) Thank you. I want to use pixel locations because my next project is a game where I draw images and they get moved by the keyboard. Therefore, I think it is easier to use a NullLayout and use pixels. I still have one more question, however. When I run the game, the buttons do not appear. They do not appear unless… Re: SetBounds of Components 18 Years Ago by Ezzaral [quote=Ghost;394415]Ahh... now this makes sense :) Thank you.

Since you are using Null Layout, the mechanisms for notifying the container to redraw itself may not behave in an expected manner. When you mouse over something, the window redraws the portion behind the mouse cursor, so this is probably what is… Re: SetBounds of Components 18 Years Ago by Ezzaral [quote=masijade;394628]As I mentioned in the last sentence of my post (as well). ;-)[/quote] Yep =) Re: SetBounds of Components 18 Years Ago by Ghost [QUOTE=Ezzaral;394782]Yep =)[/QUOTE] I don't know how I missed that :-O Sorry!!! :) But thanks for helping because it worked! Re: SetBounds of Components 18 Years Ago by masijade You're Welcome. Re: setBounds problem 13 Years Ago by NormR1 Have you tried getting the location of the panel and then adjusting your components positions by considering the panel's location. Re: setBounds problem 13 Years Ago by geekman89 Thank you for your suggestion. I have made a method for each JPanel that sets the positions. It works! Re: how to setBounds in percentage of screen size? 14 Years Ago by WildBamaBoy You can set a control's location and many other properties from within the code. What you want to do would be done like so, and other properties can be set in a similar way. [CODE]ButtonName.Location = new Point(X, Y);[/CODE] I'd put this in the constructor, after InitializeComponent();, so that it runs when the program is started. Re: how to setBounds in percentage of screen size? 14 Years Ago by adi.shoukat WildBamaBoy, Thanks for your suggestion. Yes I am doing this right now, but it's really hectic to set location of each component manually. I thing it nullifies the convenience of drag-drop thing provided by Visual Studio. What do you think? I was expecting some way that we drag a component on form in design time and the component automatically … Re: how to setBounds in percentage of screen size? 14 Years Ago by sandeepparekh9 why dont you use Docking and Anchoring properties..??? this will get you going: [URL="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/anchordock.aspx"]http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/anchordock.aspx[/URL] Re: how to setBounds in percentage of screen size? 14 Years Ago by adi.shoukat [QUOTE=sandeepparekh9;1571629]why dont you use Docking and Anchoring properties..??? this will get you going: [URL="http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/anchordock.aspx"]http://www.codeproject.com/KB/miscctrl/anchordock.aspx[/URL][/QUOTE] Thanks for help.
