This works on a JFrame but not an internal frame. I thought pack() would handle this but the size remains zero. I do not want to hard code the size of my center component. How can I make the layout manager size this component?

I passed the desktop pane into the constructor and had it add itself to the desktop pane. Then, pack works. wow, what a pain in the arse!

Usually you call pack() after all the components have been added, to let the LayoutManager know "Okay, go ahead and actually lay the components out; I'm done messing around." If you call pack() too early, some of the assumptions that the layout manager is going to make will turn out to be false, and you'll get weird results. - Oliver Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AppletTalk.com Forum Index -> Java Help All times are GMT Page 1 of 1   Jump to: Select a forum Java Newsgroups----------------Java DiscussionsWeb-based java games comp.lang.java 3D Graphics API's for Java Java: Support and criticism Java System Announcements comp.lang.java.api JavaBeans Java and CORBA Java and Databases comp.lang.java.developer Java GUI Toolkits Java Help comp.lang.java.javascript JVM, native methods and hardware comp.lang.java.misc Java Language Programming Security and Java comp.lang.java.setup Java Software Tools comp.lang.java.tech ibm.software.java.linux  Non-English Java Newsgroups----------------Java Language (German)Language Java (Français)Java (Italian)  You cannot post new topics in this forum You cannot reply to topics in this forum You cannot edit your posts in this forum You cannot delete your posts in this forum You cannot vote in polls in this forum Powered by phpBB © 2001, 2006 phpBB Group SEO toolkit © 2004-2006 webmedic.
