Thread: How to set the background color of the JPanel in Java Applet?

How to set the background color of the JPanel in Java Applet?

Hi all,

Any idea on how to set the background color of the JPanel in Java
Applet?  A few questions here:
1.  I have 3 panels on the JAVA applet, one for 2 buttons, one for
user_id label and read text, one for password label and read text.
In fact, I don't think I need 3 panels, but once I put everything into
the same panel, they all collapse on the same line.

Question:  Any idea on how to display them correctly, I just want a
normal display like:

User_id ..............
Password ................

<Logon button>  <Cancel Button>

All displayed at the botton.

2.  My applet now has white background color, and I have an image
picture on it, but the rest of the space are still white.
I am unable to use the function 'setBackground'.

Any idea on how to change the color?

3.  How to make the whole panel bigger to display on HTML?

Here is a portion of my code:

import javax.swing.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.net.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.text.*;

public class login extends JApplet implements ActionListener
{
        public String getUID;
        public String getPWD;
        Image pic;

        private Label L_UID = new Label("User ID: ");
        private TextField UID = new TextField(20);
        private Label L_PWD = new Label("Password: ");
        private TextField PWD = new TextField(20);

        private Button loginButton = new Button("Logon");
        private Button cButton = new Button("Cancel");
        private Button quitButton = new Button("Quit");

        // setup display
        public void init()

        {
                Container contentPane = getContentPane();
                contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
                JLabel label = new JLabel(getParameter("gretting"),
SwingConstants.CENTER);
                label.setFont(new Font("TimesRoman", Font.BOLD, 18));
                contentPane.add(label, "Center");

                PWD.setEchoChar('*');

                pic = getImage(getDocumentBase(), "pic.gif");

                loginButton.addActionListener(this);
                cButton.addActionListener(this);
                quitButton.addActionListener(this);

                JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
                panel1.add(L_UID, "Left");
                panel1.add(UID, "Left");
                contentPane.add(panel1, BorderLayout.NORTH);
                panel1.setBackground(Color.gray);

                JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
                panel2.add(L_PWD, "Center");
                panel2.add(PWD, "Center");
                contentPane.add(panel2, BorderLayout.CENTER);
                panel2.setBackground(Color.gray);

                JPanel panel3 = new JPanel();
                panel3.add(loginButton, "South");
                panel3.add(cButton, "South");
                panel3.add(quitButton, "South");
                contentPane.add(panel3, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
                panel3.setBackground(Color.gray);

                resize(300, 300);

        }

        public void paint(Graphics g)
        {
                g.drawImage(pic, 0, 70, 400, 300, this);
        }
