Question

GUI Problem in Java Program

Asked by: rhivka

Hello experts! I'm working on this good 'ole mortgage calculator program, and trust me...I've looked for solutions and I've stared at my code for days and compared, but I cannot get the radio button row to appear below the principle input box instead of across the top. Simple, I'm sure. But I'm stumpled. Now I know this program has other issues/problems going on before it does what it's meant to do, but for now I want to get the GUI set up. Could you please take a look and see what I'm doing wrong? Thank you in advance!

try adding it last

 

by: CPlusJavaCSharpPosted on 2007-07-15 at 18:38:56ID: 19492664

Why don't you use a layout manager then place your radio button in a panel that goes into the manager...

Also, why are you using getContentPane() you no longer need to use it in Java 5/6
