How to add user input in a panel??

[Luong Vuong]

hi i have created a panel:

    
 

 Label enterTriangle = new Label("Enter number of triangles!!!!!");
 
Panel top = new Panel();
 top.add(enterTriangle);
 add(top, BorderLayout.NORTH);
 

Is there anyway of using the panel to accept user input, in this case the number of triangles.

Sure, of course! You can accept input in a TextField.

Moving to Swing/AWT/JFace/SWT.

(looks like you may be using awt only).

a TextField is the normal way to handle user input, but you need to include
a fair amount of error handling. If the range of 'number of triangles' is limited,
it might be easier for you to use a java.awt.Choice, where the user can select
the number from a range you have set.
