Does MessagePanel class/ component exist in Java awt/ swing?
Hello, there I am quite new to Java programming and am currently working on JApplet in Java. Just wondering that is there any MessagePanel class/component (something similar to JPanel class)in java awt/ swing because when I tried to instantiate this statement -->MessagePanel inputPanel=new MessagePanel(); inside my IDE. It seems that the compiler is underlining the MessagaPanel as an error. Greatly appreciate anyone who help to provide me some guidelines on this.
Re: Does MessagePanel class/ component exist in Java awt/ swing?
MessagePanel is not a standard Java component. JPanel and JApplet both are.
If you have a MessagePanel class, you're going to have to post an SSCCE that demonstrates what you're trying to do.

/*
* It displays a message at certain location (x,y) in which both message and location is obtained from a HTML source
*/
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
public class DisplayMessage extends JApplet {
public void init(){
String message=getParameter("inputMessage");
int x=Integer.parseInt(getParameter("X"));
int y=Integer.parseInt(getParameter("Y"));
MessagePanel inputPanel=new MessagePanel();
inputPanel.setXCoordinate(x);
inputPanel.setYCoordinate(y);
Container contentPane = getContentPane();
contentPane.add(inputPanel);
}
}
hello there, this is the code.

Where have you seen the MessagePanel class? Did you look in the API doc for the Java SE classes?
Java Platform SE 7
If you don't understand my answer, don't ignore it, ask a question.

I got it from a reference book in which I am trying to learn Java from. Yeap, I looked for the messagePanel in the API doc, but it seems that I couldn't find it.
Re: Does MessagePanel class/ component exist in Java awt/ swing?
Chances are MessagePanel is defined somewhere else in the book, or it's just an example. It's not a standard Java class.
