JFrame opens up very small

Question

My JFrame for my program opens up extremely small, I have looked at a couple similar problems and fixes but none have worked so far...

I am completely stumped with this, usually when I use the jframes it never does this, have I forgotten something simple?

        });
    }
}

It should open to the size of the board (array of buttons)

Answer 1

Try this put this code in your initComponents():

this.setVisible(true);
this.getContentPane().setSize(400, 400);

Or this:

this.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400, 300));
this.pack();
this.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
this.setVisible(true);

I think that the order matters in this case
