theButton.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(xsize, ysize));
theButton.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(xsize, ysize));
theButton.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(xsize, ysize));
Try Using GridBagLayout
Always Use Swing !!!! (JButton)
Read the Doc on Swing vs AWT

Subject: [jdjlist] trying to master
Buttons....

Please respond
to "jdjlist"
Hi list,
I am trying to master Buttons -- and have been having a few problems.
First I have 1 or 2 questions :-
1) What is the difference between a Button and a JButton ? Or in the same
way, between a Frame and a JFrame ?
Button seems to be a class in the java.awt library. But what about if you
put a "J" in front of it ?
2) My problem at the moment is trying to get my Button in the code below to
match up to my expectations. I managed to get a GUI going and to
incorporate a Button into it -- but the problem is that the Button takes up
half of the GUI (the top half). I wanted a nice small Button and in a place
where I could choose to put it. Instead what I got was this huge thing that
takes up half the screen and I have no say as to where I would like to put
it.
Can someone give me some pointers as to how I can modify my code to achieve
what I want ?
//--------------------------------------------------------------------
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class File1 extends Frame implements ActionListener{
//button is a GUI component
//GUI (Graphic User Interface
private Button setbutton;
public File1() {
setLayout(new GridLayout(3,2));
setbutton = new Button("SET");
add(setbutton);
setbutton.addActionListener(this);
setSize(300,100);
setTitle("Kitchen System");
setVisible(true);
}//end of constructor
//---------------------------------------------------------------
//actionPerformed
//---------------------------------------------------------------
public void actionPerformed (ActionEvent e) {
Button b = (Button)e.getSource();
if (b == setbutton)
{
}//end of if
}//end of actionPerf
public static void main(String [] args)
{
new File1();
}
}//end of class
