[javatech007]

Here is my code for displaying an image but doesnt work. It runs but displays nothing!

 
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
 
public class Frame extends JFrame
{
    private JLabel irishrail;
 
    public Frame()
    {
        super("Frame");
        Container c = getContentPane();
        setSize(600,550);
        irishrail = new JLabel(new ImageIcon("iarnrod.bmp"));
        c.add(irishrail);
        setVisible(true);
 
    }
 
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
            Frame frame = new Frame();
 
    }
 
}

Sun's tutorial page for Icons: http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutor...ents/icon.html states:

Many Swing components, such as labels, buttons, and tabbed panes, can be decorated with an icon — a fixed-sized picture. An icon is an object that adheres to the Icon interface. Swing provides a particularly useful implementation of the Icon interface: ImageIcon, which paints an icon from a GIF, JPEG, or PNG image.

So no go for BMP files, which aren't that platform independent anyway -- they're more of a WINDOWS artifact.
