Hey All, Yes this is a NUB of a question, I'm trying to make a GUI with a JPanel that will have a 10x10 grid layout, in that grid i want to place a 10x10 array of labels containing animated GIFs. Is there some reason that this won't work? if not please take a look at my code and tell me what Im doing wrong. thanks DanLatimer package gameGUIView; import java.applet.*; import java.awt.*; import java.net.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JPanel; import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Graphics; import java.awt.GridLayout; import javax.swing.JLabel; import javax.swing.ImageIcon; public class GameGUView extends JFrame { // @jve:decl-index=0:visual-constraint="161,29" private JPanel gridPane = null; private JPanel canvas = null; private JPanel controlPanel = null; private JPanel framePane = null; private JLabel[][] pic = null; private JButton turnLeft = null; private JButton walkForword = null; private JButton turnRight = null; private JButton Sensor = null; public GameGUView() { this.setAlwaysOnTop(true); this.show(); initialize(); repaint(); this.show(); } /** * This method initializes this * */ private void initialize() { try { this.setSize(new java.awt.Dimension(400,550)); this.setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); this.setContentPane(getFramePane()); this.setTitle("Maze V.1b"); this.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(400,550)); this.setResizable(false); this.setName("mainFrame"); } catch (java.lang.Throwable e) { // Do Something } } public void paint (Graphics g) { //g.drawImage (new ImageIcon("background.gif").getImage(), 0, 32, canvas); //g.drawImage(new ImageIcon("MogFinger.gif").getImage(), 200,200, mainPanel); } /** * This method initializes jContentPane * * @return javax.swing.JPanel */ private JPanel getGridPane() { if (gridPane == null) { try { for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { for(int j = 0; j < 10; j++) { pic[j] = new JLabel(); pic[j].setText("A"); pic[j].setVisible(true); //pic[j].setIcon(new ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/MogFinger.gif"))); } } GridLayout gridLayout = new GridLayout(); gridLayout.setRows(10); gridLayout.setColumns(10); gridPane = new JPanel(); gridPane.setPreferredSize(new java.awt.Dimension(400,400)); gridPane.setLayout(gridLayout); for(int i = 0; i < 10; i++) { for(int j = 0; j < 10; j++) { gridPane.add(pic[j], null); } } } catch (java.lang.Throwable e) { // TODO: Something } } return gridPane; } /** * This method initializes canvas * * @return javax.swing.JPanel */ private JPanel getCanvas() { if (canvas == null) { try { canvas = new JPanel(); canvas.add(getGridPane(), null); } catch (java.lang.Throwable e) { // TODO: Something } } return canvas; } /** * This method initializes controlPanel * * @return javax.swing.JPanel */ private JPanel getControlPanel() { if (controlPanel == null) { try { controlPanel = new JPanel(); controlPanel.add(getTurnLeft(), null); controlPanel.add(getWalkForword(), null); controlPanel.add(getTurnRight(), null); controlPanel.add(getSensor(), null); } catch (java.lang.Throwable e) { // TODO: Something } } return controlPanel; } /** * This method initializes framePane * * @return javax.swing.JPanel */ private JPanel getFramePane() { if (framePane == null) { try { framePane = new JPanel(); framePane.setLayout(new BorderLayout()); framePane.add(getCanvas(), java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER); framePane.add(getControlPanel(), java.awt.BorderLayout.SOUTH); } catch (java.lang.Throwable e) { // TODO: Something } } return framePane; } /** * This method initializes label * * @return javax.swing.JLabel */ /** * This method initializes turnLeft * * @return javax.swing.JButton */ private JButton getTurnLeft() { if (turnLeft == null) { try { turnLeft = new JButton(); turnLeft.setName(""); turnLeft.setText("Turn Left"); } catch (java.lang.Throwable e) { // TODO: Something } } return turnLeft; } /** * This method initializes walkForword * * @return javax.swing.JButton */ private JButton getWalkForword() { if (walkForword == null) { try { walkForword = new JButton(); walkForword.setText("Walk Forword"); } catch (java.lang.Throwable e) { // TODO: Something } } return walkForword; } /** * This method initializes turnRight * * @return javax.swing.JButton */ private JButton getTurnRight() { if (turnRight == null) { try { turnRight = new JButton(); turnRight.setText("Turn Right"); } catch (java.lang.Throwable e) { // TODO: Something } } return turnRight; } /** * This method initializes Sensor * * @return javax.swing.JButton */ private JButton getSensor() { if (Sensor == null) { try { Sensor = new JButton(); Sensor.setText("Sensor"); } catch (java.lang.Throwable e) { // TODO: Something } } return Sensor; } } // @jve:decl-index=0:visual-constraint="73,17"
