Frame Label display question
OK. This sounds stupid but I wanted to display to my users a simple status box so I used the following code....
JFrame gui =new JFrame();
JLabel label =new JLabel("Checking Comp Plan Costs 0%");
gui.getContentPane().add(label, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
gui.pack();
gui.setVisible(true);
The frame appears and seems sized correctly but there is no text displayed.
However, if I use Frame instead of JFrame it displays the text.
Thanks for any help.

Could you create a small example that shows the problem, or post more code, as that works fine.
import javax.swing.*;
public class Test {
public static void main(String argv[] ) throws Throwable {
JFrame gui = new JFrame();
JLabel label = new JLabel("Checking Comp Plan Costs 0%");
gui.getContentPane().add(label, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
gui.pack();
gui.setVisible(true);
}
}
Also, it looks like you are using it as a [url=http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api/javax/swing/ProgressMonitor.html]progress monitor[/url].

I'm sure it is specified in the API docs somewhere.
<checks apis/>

But I can not find it now.

I feel retarded. I've tried not setting the layout position, setting the layout manager, it's 3 friggin lines of code that just don't work as I would think they would.
It must be a threading issue or something like that. When I run the code in a test class by itself it works.
I'll keep digging. Thanks for the help.
