Hi thanks for taking the time to read this.

I am using a JFrame with multiple objects (buttons, Jtree, JTables,
Scrollpanes, etc) and I want to be able to make them react
appropriately when ComponentListener's componentResized is called.

Obviously I would like to modify the look of the application if the
user chooses not to maximize the app.

so...

when the application does call ComponentListener I want to go through
all of the components and resize them!  I don't want to create global
objects due to memory concerns, so I tried to call seperate the objects
by using getcomponents() that returns the array of objects, however if
I use instanceof to seperate the pieces out, it doesn't really do the
job, because I have multiple objects of the same instance....

or I don;t fully understand how to seperate the components out for
resizing...

I dont know what to do, any ideas on how I can accomplish this??

Thanks
