Make a JTextField

I wanted know how to make a JTextField text box with dimensions - length 100 and Width 20
here is the code of the JTextField text box i made:-

Code :

---

Echo = new JTextField(20);

---

the 20 written is the size of the text box but when set it to 30 the width of the text box increases but the length remains the same

I hope you understood my problem
Plz help
regards

JTextField Echo = new JTextField(20); // sets number of columns of text
Echo.setSize(w,h); // JTextField inherits from Component. w&h are assumed to be ints for width & height

You can have a constuct that looks like yours provided that it be preceded with one that looked like

JTextField Echo;


This somewhat awkward construct is used for everything but primitive types like int (but not String, which is a class).
Check out Herb Schildt's Swing : a beginner's guide -- it is awesome


Good Luck,


(A+ on your presentation of problem)

If you want help, you'll have to provide an SSCCE that demonstrates the problem- a JTextField of width 20, and a JTextField of width 30. Then tell us what exactly you were expecting to happen compared to what does happen.

@meathead here is the whole program :-

Code :

---

public class TextField1 extends JApplet implements ActionListener 
   {
    JTextField Input;
    JTextField Echo;
    public JFrame Panel = new JFrame("A. God");
    public JButton button1 = new JButton("Enter");
    LayoutManager Layout;
    public TextField1 () {
    Panel.setSize(700,400);
 
    Echo = new JTextField(100);
 
    Input = new JTextField ("", 20); 
 
    Layout = new FlowLayout ();
 
    Echo.setEditable (false);
    Input.setBackground (Color.white);
    Input.addActionListener (this);
    Panel.setLayout (Layout);
    Panel.add (Echo);
    Panel.add (Input); Panel.add(button1);
 
    Panel.setVisible(true);
    }
    public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e) {
     Echo.setText (Input.getText());
     Input.setText("");
     if (e.getSource() == button1)
       {
           Echo.setText (Input.getText());
           Input.setText("");          
   }
    }
   }

i was expecting to get a rectangular text box (Echo) but instead the text box came like this :-
