problem with label

[Andrew Lit]

Hi, this is what i have

  
public class SwingApplication {
private static int numberOfClicks = 0;
private static String prefix = "Number of clicks : ";
public Component createComponent(){
final JLabel label = new JLabel(prefix + " 0   ");
JButton button = new JButton("Button");
button.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_I);
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
numberOfClicks++;
label.setText(prefix + numberOfClicks);
}
});
JButton button1 = new JButton("Button1");
button1.setMnemonic(KeyEvent.VK_D);
button1.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
numberOfClicks++;
label.setText(prefix + numberOfClicks);
}
});
//label.setLabelFor(button);
//label.setLabelFor(button1);
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(30,30,100,30));
panel.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, 1));
panel.add(button);
panel.add(button1);
panel.add(label);
return panel;
}
public static void main(String[] args){
try{
UIManager.setLookAndFeel(UIManager.getCrossPlatformLookAndFeelClassName());
}catch(Exception e){}
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Frame");
SwingApplication app = new SwingApplication();
Component comp = app.createComponent();
frame.getContentPane().add(comp, BorderLayout.CENTER);

frame.addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter(){
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e){
System.exit(0);
}
});
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

when i resize my frame, buttuns are being centered, but my label - no. Label stays on the left of the frame. Why is it so? What changes should i make?
thank you in advance

Hi Andrew,
Go thru the code snippet provided in the docs & you'll get an idea about what's going wrong or try adding another component to "panel" & you'll realise why your label is not being centered.

I chaged the line

  
panel.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, 1));

into

 panel.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1)); 

but nothing changed.

Hi Andrew,
I have added two more panels to solve ur problem , no it works as u wish

JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(30,30,100,30));
panel1.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2));
panel.setLayout(new GridLayout( 2, 1));
panel1.add(button);
panel1.add(button1);
panel2.add(label);
panel.add(panel1);
panel.add(panel2);
return panel;
