iconLabel add() to JFrame

[davedwm]

Currently using the line

JLabel iconLabel =
new JLabel (new ImageIcon("aboutlogo.gif"));

then later...

d.add( iconLabel);

to add to the frame 'd'

i have the gif in the same folder as the source files atm just to make it work, but with no joy im looking to use the path 'File: .\icons\aboutlogo.gif' similar to the ones i have designed in the GUI of the IDE.

Can anyone help point me in the right direction as the logo does not appear, yet the normal text labels i've added do

Perhaps if you show us a bit of your code ...

This is the full method

private void jMenuItemAboutActionPerformed(java.awt.event.Actio nEvent evt) {

Frame window = new Frame();

// Create a modal dialog
d = new Dialog(window, "About", true);

// Use a Grid layout
d.setLayout( new GridLayout(5, 1, 10, 10) );

//Create Image
JLabel iconLabel =
new JLabel (new ImageIcon("aboutlogo.gif"));

// Create an OK button
Button ok = new Button ("OK");
ok.addActionListener ( new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e )
{
// Hide dialog
d.setVisible(false);
}
});

d.add( iconLabel);
d.add( new JLabel (" HTML Editor for Beginners"));
d.add( ok );


// Show dialog
d.pack();
d.setVisible(true);

}
