I am making a game, but whenever I run the second jFrame, I have to resize it to get the correct size for the second jFrame, does anyone know why?
here is the method in the first jFrame class that opens the second:
private void playButtonMouseClicked(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) { if (playerOneNameText.getText().equals("")) { } if (playerTwoNameText.getText().equals("")) { } else{ pOneName = playerOneNameText.getText(); pTwoName = playerTwoNameText.getText(); ChessBoardUI class1 = new ChessBoardUI();
here is the second jFrame class that I have to change in order to select correctly:
package chess; public class ChessBoardUI extends javax.swing.JFrame { public ChessBoardUI() { initComponents(); } /** * This method is called from within the constructor to initialize the form. * WARNING: Do NOT modify this code.
