How do I set a fixed size for a window (frame) :P

hello!

Was wondering if I can set fix dimensions (size) for a window(frame) in Java.

Background: I have a menu and when I click on one of the options a window opens but I hate the fact that I can enlarge it...wish it would be fixed sized and have scroll instead... :P

any ideas?

many thanks!

Cristina

Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum.frame.setResizable( false );

Try the setSize(int x, int y) method with x as the width and y as the height

Do you understand how to use forums? First you should be searching the forums to see if you questions has been asked and answered before. (Very few questions posted in the forums are original). It makes sense to search the forum where the questions should have been posted in the first place.

For example, if you had searched the Swing forum using "fixed size jframe" you would have found this posting at the top of the search results:

http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=712407

So you would have had your question answered in less than a minute and we wouldn't have wasted time answering a question that has already been answered.

A win-win situtation for everybody.
