Help: adding a JPanel to a JPanel in the center layout

Thread view:

Unknown - 30 Aug 2005 23:44 GMT

Hi all! I'm writting an implementation for a mastermind game. I have a
class that represents all the holes in which the user can click on to guess
the appropriate sequence of pegs. When I add an object(extends JPanel and
overrides the paintcomponent to display images as the holes) to another
JPanel in the BorderLayout.CENTER, it still positions the Panel far to the
left in the center of the root panel. If you have any suggestions, thanks
ahead of time!

Why not use a GridLayout?

Tell us exactly what you're doing, in code..

You could try a GridBagLayout which has insets for controlling the
fine positioning. see http://mindprod.com/jgloss/gridbaglayout.html

OK, you did something like
panel1.add(panel2, BorderLayout.CENTER);

May be you missed
panel1.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
at the beginning. Then panel1 still would have its default layout, which
happens to be FlowLayout.
