Java GridLayout problem.

[Energize]

When I try this,

keys[i][y] = new JPanel();

It says that an array was expected but gridlayout found, the thing is though I have done exactly this before in other programs but it worked fine. I thought you can access the elements of a gridlayout just like you can with an array?

Nope, elements are added sequentially to fill in the grid.

A 2x2 grid layout would be declared as follows:

container.setLayout(new GridLayout(2,2));

Elements are added by:

container.add([B]<element>[/B]);

Where <element> is a component.
