getContainer in a JFrame

804807Oct 12 2010 — edited Oct 23 2010
Hi,

I recently wrote a JFrame based app that added components (eg. pushbuttons and JPanels) directly to the JFrame object.

This all seemed to work.

The only time I hit a problem was when I tried to change the panel and the remove API didn't work.

I then discovered that I should do a getContentPane and add the components to that.

So, what are the other side effects that I would/could have encountered had I left my code adding components directly to the JFrame object?

Thanks
Gary
