Retrieve component from JPanel..

Thread view:

I wonder whether it is possible to retrieve
a Component from a JPanel (which has a BorderLayout)
and know where it is situated (NORTH, SOUTH, EAST, ..).

I have searched the docs without results. What I
would like is something similar to the getChild
method in BorderLayout, however it is declared
private so I can not use it.

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers,
Rob

you could override method addImpl() of your JPanel and save component and
appropriate constraint in a Hashtable.

Ah...I did not know that. I was also thinking about changing the weight of
gridlines between the specific columns, but after reading your comment, I do
suspect that there will be a similar problem in that only all gridlines
together can be changed. Inserting an empty column and setting its width
very small (i.e. double grid lines) will divide the columns up visually. I
will go for that. Thanks ak.

Sorry Robert,

I accidentally posted to the wrong thread. My reply was meant for something
ak replied to earlier. Please ignore my post in this thread.
