Size modifications

Hi,

I possess a code which displays a complicated window (with various buttons and so on).

Just as a start for learning Java, I would like to modify its size (width and length), thinking it would be a very simple matter.

Yet it wasn't

Some code extract is the following:

java.awt.Dimension screenSize = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

java.awt.Dimension dialogSize = getSize();

setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(100, 100));

By modifying the values 100 I do not get any size variation.

These lines lie in a certain class inside which an init method is called.

The init method begins with a strange header saying

"/** This method is called from within the constructor to

* initialize the form.

* WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is

* always regenerated by the FormEditor.

*/

"

Inside this method there are other size settings:

pack();

java.awt.Dimension screenSize = java.awt.Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();

java.awt.Dimension dialogSize = getSize();

setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(230, 305));

setLocation((screenSize.width-230)/2,(screenSize.height-305)/2);

What is it all about? Is that the reason why I cannot modify the window?

What is the FormEditor? Is the code actually automatically re-written?

Sorry, maybe it is a stupid matter, but I cannot get out of it ..

Thanks in advance,

Stefano.
