JTextField only shows as a slit Using GridBagLayout, need help
- by Bill Caffery
Hi thank you in advance for any help, I'm trying to build a simple program to learn GUI's but when I run the code below my JTextFields all show as a slit thats not large enough for even one character.
cant post an image but it would look similar to: Label [|
where [| is what the text field actually looks like
