[String lostInClass]

I need to use these 7 classes within my JPanel:

JRadioButton
JComboBox
JList
JTextField
JCheckBox
Jlabel
JTextArea – use to display the user’s selection(s)

Object of program is for user to place an order for their pizza and have their order and price be shown as they go along. I've gotten this far but when I run it, there are no errors, and the panel appears but none of the content is there. I know I'm overlooking where to plug it into but I can't seem to figure out what I'm missing. I haven't written the part for the price to be display in yet and with this being due in a few hours, I'm more worried to get it partially working, as opposed to not at all.

Here's my main

import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class PizzaPricerViewer {
	public static void main(String[] args) 
	{  
	      PizzaPricerFrame frame = new PizzaPricerFrame ();
	      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
	      frame.setVisible(true);
	   }
}

To start you only need to import javax.swing.*;

That will import all functions in the swing package.

Okay, but that did nothing for making the program run correctly.

Question of choice. Both approachs have pros and cons.

As the initial question is concerned oupf not easy to follow.. as all your methods retun a JPanel why don't you take the JPanel returned and add them to the JFrame in a centralized place

We have to search to find the container.setLayout(FlowLayout()) in a method named createList not easy to find where what is done and in which order.

Re-organize your code first

Still in createList() you add the container (the contentPane of the JFrame) into a JPanel

        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
	panel.add(container);

JPanel that yuou return panel; but never used anywhere
And what is the idea of putting the JFrame contentPane in a JPanel ?

ublic JPanel createComboBox()
also creates a JComboBox put into a JPanel that is returned but never add somewhere

thanks for the help pbl. I wasn't able to complete the assignment in time but I was at least able to get some of the content to appear in the JFrame from having worked on the tips you gave me. The partial credit I'll get will be better than none at all. Thanks again
