TextField question

[OhioSteve]

I have a Frame that does NOT use a layoutManager. I want to manually control the position of each component in my Frame. To set my TextField's position, I use this line:

myTextField.setLocation(400,100);

However, myTextField always appears at coordinates 0,0. How can I correct this?

Frames use by default the BorderLayout. To use absolute positioning, you'd have to remove that default by settimg the layout to null.

JFrame frame = new JFrame("No layout test");
frame.setLayout(null);
