Hamacher Guest Posted: Thu Apr 29, 2004 11:40 am    Post subject: Text-Componente with fixed width but variable height Hi, i've got an panel with an information section on the left side. This section is realized as a panel with boxlayout. This panel contains a text compnonent where i want to put some informations in. The problem is, that the informations strings have different length so the size of the text-component has to fit the text. the width has to be fixed (the whole information sections has a defined width, so the text component). So just the height can be variated. But i'm just able to set both width and height so i need a possibility to set just the width! Maybe someone has a great idea!!

Here is a brilliant idea: "Use a LayoutManager" http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/using.html There are also many articles available that demonstrate why your approach (failing to use a LayoutManager) is severely flawed. -- Tony Morris (BInfTech, Cert 3 I.T., SCJP[1.4], SCJD) Software Engineer IBM Australia - Tivoli Security Software (2003 VTR1000F) Back to top Display posts from previous: All Posts1 Day7 Days2 Weeks1 Month3 Months6 Months1 Year Oldest FirstNewest First         AppletTalk.com Forum Index -> Java Language Programming 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.
