can some one tell me how to set a specific size for JTextfield/JButton in Border/BoxLayout please?
I stried setSize, setPrefersize, setMAxsize, setMinsize, setBounds... but it won't work?
For example. If I add a jbutton to a jpanel, which has borderlayout, it will take up ALL the space in that jpanel.
Thanks
Typically you use a BorderLayout for the high level layout and then add panels using other layouts to the BorderLayout. So for example on a simple dialog that is using a form that asks your for your first name and last name you would build a panel with those fields and add that panel to the center of the BorderLayout. Then you would create another panel for the "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons which would typically use a FlowLayout. Then you add that panel to the South of the BorderLayout.
The Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html]How to Use LayoutManagers has all the information you need to know on using layout managers.
