First of all, I hope this is the correct mailing list... I'm not sure if
I should be sending this to hotjava-interest or here (since I'm doing
hotjava development, but the question is strictly for java...)
I'm trying to use PreBeta JDK to build a simple ui which looks like this:
+-----------------+
| |
| |
| |
| |
+-----------------+
|<-------> ## ## |
+-----------------+
where there is a quite wide scrollbar on the bottom left, two buttons on
the bottom right and a canvas which takes up most of the window. So I
have created a Frame (BorderLayout) and "add"ed a canvas to "Center" and
I have created a pannel which uses FlowLayout which is attached to the
"South" component of the Frame. If I add a Scrollbar and two Buttons to
the pannel, it works, however I don't appear to have control over the
width of the Scrollbar, to solve this problem, I created a second
pannel, using GridLayout(1, 2) -- which brings up a sub question, why do
some of the examples create GridLayouts(0, x) ... what is grid with 0
rows? -- anyhow, I add the Scrollbar to the grid, and then I add a
FlowLayout pannel with two buttons.. anyhow, nothing displays...
What gives? I appear to be missing some simple fact about how controls
are sized in Layouts... Can someone give me a clue?
TIA, Bindu
P.S. Would it be appropriate to post source code to this mailing list?
