TextField

[Gauri]

Can I create a TextField and TextArea in a frame? I want to create an application.

I want to create a dialog box. Ask the user for user_id, password and URL,connect to the database and

authenticate it. I am using JDBC driver and JDK 1.2.

Hi Gauri,

class Frame1 extend Frame

{

Frame1()

{

...

...

// this code

textField1 = new java.awt.TextField();

// u could use a layoutmanager to skip the foll. code line

textField1.setBounds(insets().left + 240,insets().top + 60,137,30);

add(textField1);

textArea1 = new java.awt.TextArea();

// u could use a layoutmanager to skip the foll. code line

textArea1.setBounds(insets().left + 240,insets().top + 120,149,58);

add(textArea1);

.....

}


// to connect to database u should use jdbc code.

// i suggest u to use Symantec's Visual Cafe (IDE) which is simple

// to create forms similar to VB.


best wishes

Hi !
you can create TextField and TextArea

Frame f = new Frame("MyWindow");
TextFiled tf = new TextField(" ",30);
TextArea ta = new TextArea(5,30);
f.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
f.add(tf);
f.add(ta);



you can use setEditable() for TextFiled,TextArea also,

hi gouri,
Since u ar using jdk1.2 plz make me confirm u ar using Swing or awt first.
if u ar using awt simply create

Frame f=new Frame("Sample");
TextField tf=new TextField("");
TextArea ta=new TextArea("");
f.add(tf);
f.add(ta);

and if u ar using Swing use JFrame,JTextField and JTextArea.

But u may problems with light weight and heavy weight components
if there is any problem set the parent ie. JFrame as a heavy weight component for syntax plz refer the api.

with regards

Gauri,
If you want to just display a dialog box, try using the JDialog in SWING.
