Enlarge the view automaticly

Question

Hey,
I'm making a checkers game and I'm trying to make my checkersboard bigger when I enlarge my window.
This works for my pieces but I don't get my checkersboard to enlarge and appear.
I'm trying to work with MVC.
I think my problem will be found in the view class but I ain't sure.
My view class:
import java.awt.*;
* Write a description of class DambordView here.
* @author Potargent Bert
* @version
public class DambordView extends Canvas
// instance variables - replace the example below with your own
private Dambord bord;
protected Image buffer;
int b = getWidth();
int h = getHeight();
int y = 0;
* Constructor for objects of class DambordView
* We hebben altijd een model nodig om te tekenen.
public DambordView(Dambord b)
// initialise instance variables
bord = b;
* De tekenmethode van het DambordView
public void paint(Graphics g)
b = getWidth();
h = getHeight();
g.drawRect(20,20,b-40,h-60);
b = (b-40)/10;
h = (h-40)/10;
g.setColor(Color.BLACK);
for (int rij = 1; rij < 11; rij++)
{if (rij%2 != 0)
                for (int x=0; x<5; x++)
                    g.setColor(Color.GRAY);
                    g.fillRect(20+2*x*b+b, 20+y, b, h);
else
for (int x=0; x<5; x++)
g.setColor(Color.GRAY);
g.fillRect(20+2*x*b, 20+y, b, h);
y=y+50;
for (int i=0; i< bord.aantalPionen(); i++) {
tekenPion(g, bord.getPion(i), Color.BLACK, b);
public void tekenPion(Graphics g, Pion x, Color kleur , int straal)
g.setColor(kleur);
straal = straal-10;
g.fillArc(20+x.getX(), 20+x.getY(), straal, straal, 0, 360);
Greets,

I could have used swing of course but I'm not so familiar with java.If you are just learning java for school, then this is fine. . If you see yourself having any type of future with Java, then I suggest that you learn a bit of Swing on your own. It's quite a bit more flexible and powerful than AWT.
Thanks for your respons.You're welcome.
and thanks Darryl. Time to spend some yummy Duke's dollars
