settiing size of Jpanel

[sarveswaran meenakshi sundaram]

Dear all,

I need to fix the size of a JPanel. But no matter wat size I set,the panel takes a fixed size. When I place the panel inside a JInternalFrame and set the size for JInternalFrame,the panel automatically resizes to the internalframes size. But if i fix the size of the panel with out setting the size of the InternalFrame,the panel always takes a fixed size. How can we fix a panel's size? Thanks in advance.

sincerely,
Sarveswaran M

set layout to null in container, where you add JPanel.

Hello Sarveswaran,

set layout to null in container, where you add JPanel.
or
you may use setPreferredSize() instead of setSize(), as the JPanel is using some particular LayoutManager.

Eg:
----------------
jPanel1.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(93, 39));
