Tricky Question from Mock test

[Prasad Ballari]

Hi,
Pls can anybody help me , Why the frame is blank.
import java.awt.*;
public class CompLay extends Frame{
public static void main(String argv[]){
CompLay cl = new CompLay();
}
CompLay(){
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
Panel p = new Panel();
p.setBackground(Color.pink);
p.add(new Button("One"));
p.add(new Button("Two"));
p.add(new Button("Three"));

Panel p1 =new Panel();
p1.setBackground(Color.red);
p1.add(new Button("four"));

add(p);
add(p1);

setLayout(new BorderLayout());
setSize(300,300);
setVisible(true);
}
}
If you convert from BorderLayout to FlowLayout, u can see the result but why vice versa is not showing any result.Pls help me

when trying to jump on any interface changes mind one singal thing that whether changed interface implement layoutmanager2 or not. if it implements you just get nothing on changing.
further clarification will not be entertained.

You are basically over writing the Layout. You have set the Frame layout to Flow, add the panels and again resetting the layout to Border, which is overwriting the previous construction.

Hi Prasad,
You are setting Flow layout for the frame first and adds the buttons to it.
Again u r setting Border layout for the frame and set the size to
(300,300). That means u r overwriting the border layout on flow layout. Since the buttons r added to flow layout, u will get a blank window of size(300,300) on the screen.
