Java Forum / GUI / March 2004Beginner's Layoutmanager Problems
Hello! I'm trying to write my first java gui program (with swing) and I just can't understand the layoutmanager concept. What I'd like to have is a layout similar to the windows explorer: a tree on the left side in a JScrollPane (occupying about 1/4 of the window's size by default) and a JPane with some HTML on the right side (in a JScrollPane too). The user should be able to move the border between the two items with the mouse to fix the size for his needs. I've tried to find a good tutorial on layout managers, but even failed to find such (I found Sun's, which didn't get me any further). I would be very glad for any help (a link to a good tutorial would do just fine). Greetings, Daniel If everything will be contained inside a JSplitPane you won't really have to worry about layout managers. You will create a JEditorPane (for the HTML) and a JTree. Add these to JScrollPanes, then create a JSplitPane with these two JScrollPanes in it and add the JSplitPane to a JPanel or something. Seeing as you only ever have one component in another there is no need for managing of the layout really. If you want to know about layout managers though then try this : http://www.enode.com/x/markup/tutorial/layout.html Carl > Hello! > [quoted text clipped - 13 lines] > Greetings, > Daniel > If everything will be contained inside a JSplitPane you won't really have to > worry about layout managers.
