help arranging layout of TextField

[John Johnson]

I need to get the ID and Password TextFields to look like this:

ID: TEXTFIELD

Password: TEXTFIELD

 import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
 
public class PasswordApplet extends Applet implements ActionListener
{
   //Declaring variables
   String id, password;
   boolean success;
 
   String idArray[ ]={"id", "Admin", "Student", "Guest"};
   String passwordArray[ ]={"password", "ad06", "stud06", "gu06" };
 
   //Create components for applet
   Label headerLabel = new Label("Please type your ID and Password");
 
   Label idLabel = new Label("ID:");
      TextField idField = new TextField(7);
 
   Label passwordLabel = new Label("Password:");
      TextField passwordField = new TextField(7);
 

   Button loginButton = new Button("Login");
 
   public void init()
   {
      //Set color, layout, and add components
      setBackground(Color.black);
      setForeground(Color.blue);
 
  setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT,40,30));
 

      add(headerLabel);
 
      add(idLabel);
         add(idField);
         idField.requestFocus();
 
      add(passwordLabel);
         add(passwordField);
         passwordField.setEchoChar('*');
 
      add(loginButton);
         loginButton.addActionListener(this);
   }
 
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
   {
      //Assigning data
      id = idField.getText();
      password = passwordField.getText();
      success = false;
 
      //Sequential search
for (int i=0; i<4; i++)
{
if  ((idArray[i].compareTo(id)==0)  &&
    (passwordArray[i].compareTo(password)==0))
    success=true;
 
}
 
if (success==true)
{headerLabel.setText("Login Successful");
repaint();
}
else
{ headerLabel.setText("Invalid. Try again.");
idField.setText  ("");
passwordField.setText("");
idField.requestFocus();
}
}
}

Hi,

Welcome to JavaRanch!

We have a "Swing/AWT/JFace/SWT" forum where this question would fit right in; I will move it there for you.

try this

if ID and Password are not in the correct spot, modify lines like this, to suit
new Label("ID:",Label.RIGHT);

    
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
 
public class TestApplet extends Applet implements ActionListener
{
   String id, password;
   boolean success;
   String idArray[ ]={"id", "Admin", "Student", "Guest"};
   String passwordArray[ ]={"password", "ad06", "stud06", "gu06" };
   Label headerLabel = new Label("Please type your ID and Password",Label.CENTER);
   Label idLabel = new Label("ID:",Label.RIGHT);
   TextField idField = new TextField(7);
   Label passwordLabel = new Label("Password:",Label.RIGHT);
   TextField passwordField = new TextField(7);
   Button loginButton = new Button("Login");
   public void init()
   {
      Panel panel = new Panel(new BorderLayout());
      setBackground(Color.black);
      setForeground(Color.blue);
      Panel p = new Panel();
      p.add(headerLabel);
      panel.add(p,BorderLayout.NORTH);
      Panel p1 = new Panel(new GridLayout(2,2,10,10));
      p1.add(idLabel);
      p1.add(idField);
      p1.add(passwordLabel);
      p1.add(passwordField);
      panel.add(p1,BorderLayout.CENTER);
      Panel p2 = new Panel();
      p2.add(loginButton);
      panel.add(p2,BorderLayout.SOUTH);
      add(panel);
      passwordField.setEchoChar('*');
      loginButton.addActionListener(this);
   }
   public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
   {
      id = idField.getText();
      password = passwordField.getText();
      success = false;
      for (int i=0; i<4; i++)
      {
        if  ((idArray[i].compareTo(id)==0)  &&
           (passwordArray[i].compareTo(password)==0))
           success=true;
 
      }
      if (success==true)
      {
        headerLabel.setText("Login Successful");
        repaint();
      }
      else
      {
        headerLabel.setText("Invalid. Try again.");
        idField.setText  ("");
        passwordField.setText("");
        idField.requestFocus();
      }
   }
}
