Re: Probs compiling - instanceOf statement and close brackets

I am a swing newbie and kind of inexperienced in java.  I am using
NetBeans (I don't think that comes in to play, though).

I am implementing my own layout manager, and I am getting compile
errors in which I do not understand what it wants me to do differently.
 In my code listing I have put the compile error messages in comments
on the line in which they happen.  Can someone help me understand what
the compiler wants?

Thanks for your help

   public void layoutContainer(Container target)  {
      synchronized(target.getTreeLock())  {
         Dimension dim;
         Insets insets = target.getInsets();
         int maxwidth = target.getWidth() - (insets.left +
insets.right);
         int nmembers = target.getComponentCount();
         int x = 0, y = insets.top;
         int rowh = 0, start = 0;
         for (int i = 0 ; i < nmembers ; i++)  {
               Component m = target.getComponent(i);
               if(m instanceOf JFrame) {     //  '/' expected
                  layoutContainer(m);
                  dim = m.getSize();
               }
               else if(m instanceOf(JTextField)) {
                  i = i + 0;
               }
         }                //   illegal start of expression
      }
   }


Think you want to use 'instanceof'  not 'instanceOf'.
