[SOLVED] Importing Images to a Java frame

Hey guys,

I have a very simple java program. I opens a frame, and I want to be able to put a picture in the frame. How do I import a picture and set it as the background to the frame?

Here is my simple program:

import java.io.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

class demo extends Frame
{
void setup()
{
setLayout(new FlowLayout());

Button ok = new Button(" OK ");

add(ok);
}
}

public class window
{
public static void main (String[] args)
{
int width = 700, height = 134;

demo frm = new demo();

frm.setup();
frm.setBackground(Color.gray);
frm.setTitle("Logon Message");
frm.setSize(width, height);
frm.setVisible(true);
}
}

so as you can see it is an extremely basic window, and I would like to import a graphic as the background to the window within the setup() method.

Any help much appreciated, thanks!

Create a Panel and call the drawImage method in its Graphics object.

Use a Canvas with an overridden paint() method, or an ImageIcon.
