Why this method does not use any properties of the object?
- by Roman
Here I found this code:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class FunWithPanels extends JFrame {
public static void main(String[] args) {
FunWithPanels frame = new FunWithPanels();
frame.doSomething();
}
void doSomething() {
Container c = getContentPane();
JPanel p1 = new JPanel();
p1.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
p1.add(new JButton("A"), BorderLayout.NORTH);
p1.add(new JButton("B"), BorderLayout.WEST);
JPanel p2 = new JPanel();
p2.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 2));
p2.add(new JButton("F"));
p2.add(new JButton("G"));
p2.add(new JButton("H"));
p2.add(new JButton("I"));
p2.add(new JButton("J"));
p2.add(new JButton("K"));
JPanel p3 = new JPanel();
p3.setLayout(new BoxLayout(p3, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
p3.add(new JButton("L"));
p3.add(new JButton("M"));
p3.add(new JButton("N"));
p3.add(new JButton("O"));
p3.add(new JButton("P"));
c.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
c.add(p1, BorderLayout.CENTER);
c.add(p2, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
c.add(p3, BorderLayout.EAST);
pack();
setVisible(true);
}
}
I do not understand how "doSomething" use the fact that "frame" is an instance of the class JFrame. It is not clear to me because there is no reference to "this" in the code for the method "doSomething".
