Hi I am using Windows 2K with JDK 1.4.2. My class extends from JFrame but
the statement:

setsize(500, 300)

does not seem to have any effect. the following doesn't work either:

getContentPane().setsize(500, 300)

What may be wrong?

Thanks!!

Thanks for the reply.

I want to set the main window to a certain size. I believe
setsize was for that purpose.

I added a left and right JTextArea to the JFrame, which has
been set to a GridLayout(1,1).

Please help. Thanks.

Regards,
Patrick

Please do not top-post. It makes the
thread difficult to follow.

Are you using pack() on the JFrame? If so then the LayoutManager
determins the window size ignoring setSize.
