JButton is incomplete

Hi All,

I am new to java. Though I have written codes in C, Java is still
difficult to understand. Please help me ...

I have placed a button in a gridBagLayout(1, 3). When I reduce the
size of the screen, the button is split. I do not want it to happen
this way.

I have placed the code snippet below

/* Code starts here */
JPanel p = new JPanel();
p.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3));

p.add(new JLabel(""));
p.add(m_titleLabel);
p.add(m_refreshPan);

m_refreshPan.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
m_refreshPan.add(m_label);
m_refreshPan.add(m_button);
/* Code ends here */

Post a small demo code that is generally compilable, runnable and
could reproduce your problem. See: http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html

No. You placed a button into something (perhaps a JPanel?) with a
FlowLayout.
The something was placed into a JPanel with a GridLayout (not
gridBagLayout, not even GridBagLayout).
Presumably, this JPanel was placed into something else unknown with an
unknown LayoutManager.

Words can be misleading. Code can be misleading, but usually less so. A
good example of why an SSCCE is important.

The JPanel has a GridLayout

Whatever m_refreshPan is, it has been added to the JPanel.

> m_refreshPan.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));

m_refreshPan has a FlowLayout

Assuming that m_button is the button (Button? JButton?) of interest, it is
in m_refreshPan which has a FlowLayout.

An SSCCE would really help. So would a screen shot or other description of
the meaning of "the button is split."

I want to help, but need better to go on.
