JAVA Image Icon and JButton resizing problem

Hi everyone,

I am stuck on a JAVA problem again.

I want to figure out how to do a ImageIcon resize.

Here is my following code:

Code :

---

ImageIcon imageClickForMovies = new ImageIcon("clickForMovies1.GIF");
JButton buttonClickForMovies = new JButton(imageClickForMovies);

---

If anyone can explain to me how to resize the ImageIcon and the Jbutton, that would be great. By the way, I am a very simple-minded person. So, please explain instructions carefully, so that it is in an understandable manner for me.

Hello Nathe,

What type of layout are you using? The different layouts will effect how you resize these components.

Here is a really good tutorial on layouts that leads onto how to size swing components and set their position:

A Visual Guide to Layout Managers (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI with JFC/Swing > Laying Out Components Within a Container)

Here is a quick method you can try first:

Code :

---

JButton button = new JButton ("Click me");
button.setSize(100,100);
