How do I control the size of a button (or any component) in an applet or Frame?

[Enrique Gonzalez Moore]

I wrote a simple applet with a button and a text box inside of a frame. When I run it and resize it the button resizes with the window or applet section of html doc. How can I prevent the button from resizing?

Here is my code so far. The maxsize method does not seem to work.

    
import java.awt.*;

public class FtoC extends java.applet.Applet
{

    /** Initializes the applet FtoC */
    public void init()
    {
        try
        {
            java.awt.EventQueue.invokeAndWait(new Runnable()
            {
                public void run()
                {
                    initComponents();
                }
            });
        } catch (Exception ex)
        {
            ex.printStackTrace();
        }
    }

    private void initComponents() {

        jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton();
        jTextField1 = new javax.swing.JTextField();

        setLayout(new java.awt.BorderLayout());

        jButton1.setLabel("FtoC");
        add(jButton1, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);

        jTextField1.setText("jTextField1");
        add(jTextField1, java.awt.BorderLayout.NORTH);
    }

    private javax.swing.JButton jButton1;
    private javax.swing.JTextField jTextField1;

   public static void main(String [] args)
   {
      Frame f = new Frame("ViewFtoC");
      //Example5 ex = new Example5();
      FtoC myEx = new FtoC();
      
      //ex.init();
      myEx.init();
      myEx.jButton1.setSize(50, 100);
      Dimension myMax = new Dimension(100,50); //Width, Height
      myEx.jButton1.setMaximumSize(myMax);
      //f.add("Center", ex);
      
       f.add("Center", myEx);
       f.pack();

      //f.show();
      f.setVisible(true);

   }

Again, as per your previous similar thread, you'll want to back up some and read the tutorials. Is this code supposed to create a stand-alone JFrame or a JApplet? Do you really want to mix AWT and Swing components (answer: you don't). Have you read up on creating applets and sizing them through the html code, or the tutorials on the layout managers yet?
