import javax.swing.*;


JPanel middlePanel = new JPanel();
    middlePanel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
    
    GridBagConstraints cons = new GridBagContraints();
    cons.weightx = 1.0;
    cons.weighty = 1.0;
    middlePanel.setBorder(new TitledBorder(new EtchedBorder(),"Display Area"));

When i use this code snippet(this is just a rough code snippet) i get errors like "can not find symbol GridBagContraints" and "can not find symbol TitledBorder","can not find symbol EtchedBorder". How to fix it?

Thanks for helping..Its solved now. Imported

javax.swing.border.TitledBorder
javax.swing.border.EtchedBorder

And made the spelling correct for GridBagConstraints cons = new **GridBagConstraints()**;

instead of GridBagConstraints cons = new **GridBagContraints()**;

Thanks again..":)"

You are missing an import spec for GridBagConstraints, which seems to be in "java.awt.GridBagConstraints". If you are using Eclipse, it will tell you this if you hover over the statement with the error and will optionally insert the correct include for you.

Same again (similar solution) for TitledBorder.

Solution 2

The error told you what is the issue. You are using

Java

GridBagConstraints cons = new GridBagContraints();

instead of

Java

GridBagConstraints cons = new GridBagConstraints();

And again in case of TitledBorder you have to import the required api

Java

import javax.swing.border.TitledBorder
