java frame resize in GUI

public static void main(String[] args) {

MyFrame frame = new MyFrame("Simple Calculator");

//MyFrame.DimensionSize

frame.getMinimumSize();

frame.getMinimumSize2();

frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

/* place your frame.setSize method above those getMinimumSize method*/

/* so that it is executed first */

frame.setSize(200, 200);

frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);

frame.setVisible(true);

}

Hi u can try the following code

panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout() );

panel.add(combo,BorderLayout.CENTER);

c.add(panel);

how about re-pack(); the jframe? In fact, I don't see that you call pack() once? Or maybe I'm missing it.

Also, rather than setSize(), should you use setPreferredSize()?

Nevermind,... This is not what you are looking for.

There is an event (windowevent?) that you must look for (I think) and adjust size accordingly.

Hmmmm been searching...

how about a componentListener looking for componentResized?

I never knew there was a Swing forum.

Thanks, I'll go there right now.

so something like this?

public void content()

{

Container c = getContentPane();

JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());

Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 28);// change font

JComboBox combo = new JComboBox(operations);

combo.setSelectedIndex(0);

combo.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder());

JPanel innerPane = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());

innerPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(40, 10, 40, 10));

innerPane.add(combo, BorderLayout.NORTH);

panel.add(innerPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);

c.add(panel);

}

Is there a way when I put the labels beside the my combobox and JSprings with have the feature of stretching and shrinking, I can't seem to find a way how to do this:

Here is my current code:

package 620524.view;

import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.BorderLayout;

import javax.swing.*;

import javax.swing.border.Border;

public class MyFrame extends JFrame

{

final boolean RIGHT_TO_LEFT = false;

final boolean shouldFill = true;

final boolean shouldWeightX = true;

String[] labels = {"Number 1", "Operation", "Number 2", "="};

String[] operations = {"+", "-", "/", "x"};

public MyFrame(String title)throws HeadlessException

{

super(title);

//content1();

content();

content1();

}

public JSpinner addLabeledSpinner(Container c, String label, SpinnerModel model)

{

JLabel l = new JLabel(label);

c.add(l);

JSpinner spinner = new JSpinner(model);

l.setLabelFor(spinner);

c.add(spinner);

return spinner;

}

public JComboBox addLabeledComboBox(Container c,String label,JComboBox model)

{

JLabel l = new JLabel(label);

c.add(l);

JComboBox combo = new JComboBox(operations);

//combo.setSelectedIndex(0);

l.setLabelFor(combo);

c.add(combo);

return combo;

}

public void content1()

{

Container c = getContentPane();

JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());

Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 28);// change font

JComboBox combo = new JComboBox(operations);

combo.setSelectedIndex(0);

combo.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder());

JPanel innerPane = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());

innerPane.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(40, 20, 40, 20));

combo = addLabeledComboBox(c, labels[1], combo);

innerPane.add(combo, BorderLayout.NORTH);

panel.add(innerPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);

//panel.add(combo);

c.add(panel);

}

public void content()

{

int zero = 0;

Container con = getContentPane();

JPanel panel = new JPanel();

JFrame frame = new JFrame();

//c.setLayout(new FlowLayout());

Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 28);//change font

//JSpinner

SpinnerModel nums = new SpinnerNumberModel(zero, zero - 100, zero + 100, 1); //initial value,min,max,step

SpinnerModel nums2 = new SpinnerNumberModel(zero, zero - 100, zero + 100, 1);

JSpinner spinner = new JSpinner(nums);

JSpinner spinner2 = new JSpinner(nums2);

//JComboBox

JComboBox combo = new JComboBox();

//JButton

JButton button = new JButton("Calculate");

button.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 30)); //specified button dimension

//JTextArea

JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(1, 20);

spinner = addLabeledSpinner(con, labels[0], nums);

panel.add(spinner);

combo = addLabeledComboBox(con, labels[1], combo);

panel.add(combo);

spinner2 = addLabeledSpinner(con, labels[2], nums2);

panel.add(spinner2);

panel.add(textArea);

panel.add(button);

con.add(panel);

}

}
