JFrame not working correctly
- by Nick Gibson
This is making me very angry, I have worked on this for 2 days, have 2 books open and have looked through them, and STILL can't get this program to run the way I want it run. I'm getting to the point where if this doesn't help, I quit.
I want a SIMPLE Frame application.
It has a JComboBox centered at the top.
Next to it is a text field big enough to show numeric digits such as "$49.99"
Below it is a spot for a Text area showing terms of service
Below that is the checkbox agreeing to the terms of service
Below that is 2 buttons "Accept" and "Decline"
I Have worked on this for 2 days, here is the coding:
public class Bar extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
public Bar(final JFrame frame)
{
String[] tests = { "A+ Certification", "Network+ Certification", "Security+ Certification", "CIT Full Test Package" };
JButton button = new JButton("Click Meh");
add(new JLabel("Welcome to the CIT Test Program "));
add(new JLabel("Please select which Test Package from the list below."));
frame.setVisible(true);
frame.setSize(250,250);
JPanel pane1 = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
JPanel pane2 = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
JMenu fileMenu = new JMenu("File");
JMenu editMenu = new JMenu("Edit");
JMenu helpMenu = new JMenu("Help");
menuBar.add(fileMenu);
menuBar.add(editMenu);
menuBar.add(helpMenu);
JMenuItem newMenu = new JMenuItem("New (Ctrl+N)");
JMenuItem openMenu = new JMenuItem("Open (Ctrl+O)");
JMenuItem saveMenu = new JMenuItem("Save (Ctrl+S)");
saveMenu.addActionListener(this);
JMenuItem exitMenu = new JMenuItem("Exit (Ctrl+W)");
JMenuItem cutMenu = new JMenuItem("Cut (Ctrl+X)");
JMenuItem copyMenu = new JMenuItem("Copy (Ctrl+C)");
JMenuItem pasteMenu = new JMenuItem("Paste (Ctrl+V)");
JMenuItem infoMenu = new JMenuItem("Help (Ctrl+H)");
fileMenu.add(newMenu);
fileMenu.add(openMenu);
fileMenu.add(saveMenu);
fileMenu.add(exitMenu);
editMenu.add(cutMenu);
editMenu.add(copyMenu);
editMenu.add(pasteMenu);
helpMenu.add(infoMenu);
frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
JComboBox packageChoice = new JComboBox(tests);
frame.add(packageChoice);
}
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
Object source = e.getSource();
{
}
}
EDIT:
Forgot to add the second program
public class JFrameWithPanel
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JPanel panel = new Bar(new JFrame("CIT Test Program"));
}
}
How do I get this to have everything where I want it and show up? I'm very confused because of this and now barely even get how Frames work.
