RadioButtons right alignment ?
Hi,
Changing or adding to the code below, I would like the
RadioButtons to be in a right alignment position,
can it be done with the GridLayout ?
or else how can it be done ?
Help will be appreciated.
public class RadioPanel extends JPanel
implements ActionListener {
JRadioButton Button_a = new JRadioButton("action a", false);
JRadioButton Button_b = new JRadioButton("action b", false);
JRadioButton Button_c = new JRadioButton("action c", false);
public RadioPanel() {
Button_a.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.LEFT);
Button_b.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.LEFT);
Button_c.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.LEFT);
setLayout(new GridLayout(7, 1));
add(Button_a);
add(Button_b);
add(Button_c);
}

1) The code you posted isn't executable so I can't see exactly what your problem is.
2) Use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags[/url] when posting code.
3) Some LayoutManagers will use the setAlignmentX(...) value to position the component, but since you didn't post an executable program I can't test it out.
First, thank you camickr !
Here is an executable code to illustrate what I mean:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Radiotest extends JFrame {
JPanel radiopanel = new JPanel();
JRadioButton Button_a = new JRadioButton("action clean house", true);
JRadioButton Button_b = new JRadioButton("action run", false);
JRadioButton Button_c = new JRadioButton("action do noth", false);
public Radiotest() {
Button_a.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.LEFT);
Button_b.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.LEFT);
Button_c.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.LEFT);
radiopanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));
radiopanel.add(Button_a);
radiopanel.add(Button_b);
radiopanel.add(Button_c);
getContentPane().add(radiopanel);
setSize(150, 100);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
Radiotest radio = new Radiotest();
}
}
Sorry, here is the code with code formatting:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Radiotest extends JFrame {
JPanel radiopanel = new JPanel();
JRadioButton Button_a = new JRadioButton("action clean house", true);
JRadioButton Button_b = new JRadioButton("action run", false);
JRadioButton Button_c = new JRadioButton("action do noth", false);
public Radiotest() {
Button_a.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.LEFT);
Button_b.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.LEFT);
Button_c.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.LEFT);
radiopanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(3, 1));
radiopanel.add(Button_a);
radiopanel.add(Button_b);
radiopanel.add(Button_c);
getContentPane().add(radiopanel);
setSize(150, 100);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
Radiotest radio = new Radiotest();
}
}
1) See point 2 from above
2) See point 3. I gave you a suggestion. There's no reason you can't test it out yourself to see if it works.
If it doesn't work then you could try creating a panel that uses right alignmend, then and you component to the panel and then add your panel to the grid.
If that doesn't work then read the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html]How to Use Layout Managers[/url]. Maybe a vertical BoxLayout will do what you want.
Hi,
Well, this and that did not work. Though I don't expect someone else to do the work for me, I hope that someone who experienced the same problem, and solved it, will help me, and thus save me work. Sure if I don't find that help, I will have to do it myself, no matter how long it will take. So far, I still hope to receive more specific help, maybe even code.... But thank you just the same, saying the above does not mean what you wrote is not helping !
> Though I don't expect someone else to do the work for me,
Obviously you do. I gave you a link to the tutorial which has a working example of how right alignment can be done if you choose the correct LayoutManager. The tutorial even has a picture, so its kind of hard to miss, but again this assumes you actually read the tutorial.
So spent more time reading and less time complaining that I didin't give you actual working code.
Hi,
This seem to be the solution:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
class Radiotest extends JFrame {
JPanel radiopanel = new JPanel();
JRadioButton Button_a = new JRadioButton("action clean house", true);
JRadioButton Button_b = new JRadioButton("action run", false);
JRadioButton Button_c = new JRadioButton("action do noth", false);
public Radiotest() {
Button_a.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.LEFT);
Button_b.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.LEFT);
Button_c.setHorizontalTextPosition(AbstractButton.LEFT);
radiopanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(radiopanel,BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
Button_a.setAlignmentX(Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT);
Button_b.setAlignmentX(Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT);
Button_c.setAlignmentX(Component.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT);
radiopanel.add(Button_a);
radiopanel.add(Button_b);
radiopanel.add(Button_c);
getContentPane().add(radiopanel);
setSize(150, 100);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String args[]) {
Radiotest radio = new Radiotest();
}
}
Thank you camickr, I did say you helped !
