hello every1
i need a small help regarding grid layout ... i've created a grid layout of 3 rows & 3 cols, every cell contains a button and every button is associated with an action listener ... now whenever any button is pressend, iz there any way to get the coordinates of that button, i mean if i press button "6" ... then on the command prompt, message should be displayed "row:2 col:3" ... similarly, i want 2 do the same operation on every button. so iz it possible to do this ???

below i m pasting my code, i just need the coding for actionPerformed() method ... i hope that i'll get good reply as soon as possible

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
class GridDemo extends Frame implements ActionListener
{
    Button b1,b2,b3,b4,b5,b6,b7,b8,b9;
    public GridDemo()
    {
        b1=new Button("1");
        b1.addActionListener(this);
        b2=new Button("2");
        b2.addActionListener(this);
        b3=new Button("3");
        b3.addActionListener(this);
        b4=new Button("4");
        b4.addActionListener(this);
        b5=new Button("5");
        b5.addActionListener(this);
        b6=new Button("6");
        b6.addActionListener(this);
        b7=new Button("7");
        b7.addActionListener(this);
        b8=new Button("8");
        b8.addActionListener(this);
        b9=new Button("9");
        b9.addActionListener(this);
        setLayout(new GridLayout(3,3));
        add(b1);
        add(b2);
        add(b3);
        add(b4);
        add(b5);
        add(b6);
        add(b7);
        add(b8);
        add(b9);
    }
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae)
    {
        // WHAT TO DO HERE ???
    }
    public static void main(String args[])
    {
        GridDemo gd=new GridDemo();
        gd.setSize(300,300);
        gd.setVisible(true);
    }
}

you could first add a textarea,then
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
Object source=e.getSource();
if(source==b1){
textarea.setText("row1,col1");
}else if(source==b2){
textarea.setText("row1,col2");
}else...
}

nice reply aminsky
