Stretching columns

Hi,
I think you must use property hSizePolicy and vSizePolicy for inner
components.

Thanks!

Hi,

Maybe I just did not found it, but how I tell the GUI designer, what
column might stretch on resizing and what not?

Ah, thanks. I search in the columns/rows, not in the components. What if
a column does not have components?

Tom

In this case i have no ideas :))

But if you want some put "space" between layout as "empty column", i think
you should use vspacer or hspacer for filing column with
abstract-not-functional component. Or just put empty JPanel... In any case
you must have some component in layout cell to control size, i guess.

Thanks!

I guess you have to insert a spacer at least.

Sorry, but this looks like a hack defined by the weak design.

We have a layout manager similar to HIGLayout. We first define the
columns' and rows' sizes and stretching behaviour and than add the
components with information about the cell(s) to put in and the
orientation within this (large) cell. Works perfectly fine. No need for
spacer components.

If columns (row) doesn't have any component inside then it will be
eliminated on compilation time. At design time empty cells exist only as
possible placeholders for components.

You can add space between component with the following ways:

1. Change container's margins
2. Change container's hGap/vGap
3. Insert fixed-width spacer.
