No groupbox class?

[Chris Stewart]

Is there no groupbox class I can use in Swing? I did a search in google and looked through my book, no mention on a groupbox class.

A GroupBox? What functionallity are you trying to achieve?

I'm looking for something that does what "groupBox2" does in this pic.

That's Easy
Just create a JPanel with a TitledBorder. This sounds like something I might want to add to my JRSwing package.
If you want a code sample, let me know.

A code sample would be great.

Here is a small example

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.*;

public class GroupBoxTest extends JFrame
{
public GroupBoxTest()
{
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter()
{
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent w)
{
System.exit(0);
}
});

this.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
JPanel groupBoxPanel = new JPanel();
groupBoxPanel.setLayout(null);
groupBoxPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Group Box 2"));
JButton b = new JButton("Push Me");
b.setBounds(10, 20, 100, 20);
groupBoxPanel.add(b);
groupBoxPanel.setBounds(5, 5, 300, 300);
this.getContentPane().add(groupBoxPanel);
this.setBounds(100, 100, 500, 500);
}

public static void main(String[] args)
{
new GroupBoxTest().setVisible(true);
}
}

Perfect! Thank you.
