TextFields

[colin shuker]

Hi, does anybody know how to place several Textfields in the center of a frame, and add a 'submit' button to process the values entered in the Textfields.

I have looked at some examples, but I think they all seem to use components or sumthing, and appear only to be placed north or south in the frame. I can't figure out how to place them were I want.

Any help is much appreciated.

something like this?

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
{
  public Testing()
  {
    setSize(600,400);
    setLocation(300,200);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    JPanel jp = new JPanel(new GridLayout(4,1));
    for(int x = 0; x < 3; x++) jp.add(new JTextField());
    jp.add(new JButton("Submit"));
    getContentPane().setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
    getContentPane().add(jp,new GridBagConstraints());
  }
  public static void main(String[] args){new Testing().setVisible(true);}
}

I think gridbaglayout is a good option
