Hi,

I hope you can help me...

How do i change the widths of the columns in my gridlayout?
i have a 9x9 grid and i want the outer 8 to be small, the the centre
cell large, so i need to set the top and bottom row heights to small,
and the left and right column widths to small.

How can i achieve this?

Thanks!!!

You cannot achieve this using a GridLayout.

Try using a GridBagLayout or other third party ones which are more
customisable.

Or you could write a custom layoutmanager that caters to the specific
requirements of your application.
