 |
|
Hello!
I'd like to implement a GUI with multiple SplitPanes, like this

Now in Swing it's only possible to create a SplitPane that splits the screen
in two halves, not more. I can cascade JSplitpanes, but that doesn't look
the way I'd like because the divider doesn't join [1] the lower bottom of
the JFrame, like it does with uncascaded JSplitPanes.
Is there a way to do this?
Or even better: Is there a way to do it the way Eclipse does? They have
closable subwindows implemented in SWT instead of SplitPanes. Is it possible
to do it in Swing? http://www.jgoodies.com/ can do it somehow [2]. Is there
a native-swing way or to I have to code it myself? It's important to me that
the subwindows behave like SplitPanes (especially in resizing), but are
closable as well.

Hi Jan,
If it is just the borders you want to get rid of, try this:
JSplitPane split = new JSplitPane( JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT, leftPanel,
rightPanel);
split.setBorder( null);
Object ui = split.getUI();
if ( ui instanceof BasicSplitPaneUI) {
((BasicSplitPaneUI)ui).getDivider().setBorder( null);
}
Now create only the borders you really want...

Ok, I'll try that, thanks.

The JGoodies Looks ship with a BorderlessSplitPane
and a panel that provides the eclipse-like appearance.
See the sources for the accompanying demo.
In addition to the code Edwin posted, my class
tries to remove the split divider's border
everytime the UI refreshes - in #updateUI.
I've just released version 1.2.1 of the Looks:

Best regards,
Karsten
