This code compiles, but when run buttons don't show up until window is maximized, then I can't close window, Help!!!
import java.awt.*;
class MyButton {
MyButton() {
Frame f = new Frame("Top Teams in the NFL");
f.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
f.setVisible(true);
f.setSize(500,300);
f.setBackground(Color.darkGray);
Button a = new Button("Raiders");
Button b = new Button("Ravens");
Button c = new Button("Rams");
Button d = new Button("Steelers");
Button e = new Button("Niners");
Button g = new Button("Bears");
f.add(a);
f.add(b);

You can't close the window becuase you didn't add the windowlistener. Try adding one.
doesn't show the buttons, try adding the buttons to the frame first then show the Frame.
hope this help.

Fei is correct, f.setVisible(true) should be the last statement after adding all your GUI components. You also have to add a window listener that will either minimize/close the window or exit the application. There is probably an example somewhere in your textbook.
