Is there a Vertical FlowLayout?

Yes I want the components to be placed vertically.

There are not enough components to wrap to the next "column". I am also going to put a scroll on side and bottom.

When I resize the frame with BoxLayout, the items spread out for an equal amount of space between them.

I am looking for something like:

displayUserId.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.[b]TOP[/b]));

But if BoxLayout is my option, is there a way to disable the spreading out of the different components when the window size is increased. I know some people would say just lock the windows size, but it is not an option.

Yes I have captured the preferredSize and set it.

below is the code that generates the screen. The methods displayCurrentUser, displayUserID, and displayPassword() are the panels that consist of other components.

public JPanel displayPanel()

{

displayLoginPanel=new JPanel();

displayLoginPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(displayLoginPanel,BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

displayLoginPanel.add(displayCurrentUser());

displayLoginPanel.add(displayUserId());

displayLoginPanel.add(displayPassword());

loginButton=new JButton("Login");

logoutButton=new JButton("Logout");

displayLoginPanel.add(loginButton);

displayLoginPanel.add(logoutButton);

loginButton.addActionListener(loginHandler);

logoutButton.addActionListener(loginHandler);

Dimension x = displayCurrentUser.getPreferredSize();

displayCurrentUser.setSize(x);

x=displayUserId.getPreferredSize();

displayUserId.setSize(x);

x=displayPassword.getPreferredSize();

displayPassword.setSize(x);

return displayLoginPanel;

}

That not what I asked.

If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program[/url] (SSCCE) that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

Don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags[/url] so the posted code retains its original formatting.
