Java Frame.setSize()

Kev · 2001-05-15 21:47:00

I've got a java app with a frame which is setSize( 500, 500 ) in the main method. when i load it its not the full size, i lose 8 pixels in width and 27 in height, is this normal, are they allocated for the border and title bar ? If so its really annoying. Thanks Mr. Chuffy

if its an applet and u are using applet viewer it does rob some pixels from you, but in html it works fine.

dont know about applications tho.

Its actually both, my main class extends Applet but includes a main() method which instanciates an object of itself so it can be run as an application or as an applet.
i was running it as an application when it was robbing me pixels.

Have you got the pack(); command in your main method. If so take it out. It might make a difference (then again it might not).
