How to align components center in the JPanel using GridBagLayout?
When I try to align my component it goes either left side or right side.
So I just want the solution to get rid of this problem, and also tell me how set the size of the panel as 400 x 350 pixel.
Here is my code.... titleLabel and ResultLabel should be aligned in center
public TimeGui() {
layout = new GridBagLayout();
setSize(400, 350); //**Its not working**
setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK));
setBorder(new TitledBorder(new EtchedBorder(), "Time Conversion") );
setLayout(layout);
layoutConstraints = new GridBagConstraints();
textField1 = new JTextField(10);
textField2 = new JTextField(10);
String[] names1 = {"Seconds", "Minutes", "Hours", "Days", "Weeks"};
comboBox1 = new JComboBox<>(names1);
comboBox2 = new JComboBox<>(names1);
titleLabel = new JLabel("Time Conversion Unit", JLabel.CENTER);
resultLabel = new JLabel("Result Label");
equalLabel = new JLabel("=");
convertButton = new JButton("Convert");
layoutConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
Insets inset = new Insets(10, 10, 10, 10);
layoutConstraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.CENTER;
addComponent(titleLabel, 0, 0, 2, 2, inset ); // I tried (0,1,2,2)
addComponent(comboBox1, 3, 0, 2, 3, inset);
addComponent(comboBox2, 3, 2, 2, 3, inset);
addComponent(textField1, 6, 0, 1, 2, inset);
addComponent(equalLabel, 6, 1, 1, 2, inset);
addComponent(textField2, 6, 2, 1, 2, inset);
addComponent(resultLabel, 8, 1, 2, 1, inset);
addComponent(convertButton, 10, 0, 2, 2, inset);
}
private void addComponent(Component component, int row,
int column, int width, int height, Insets inset1) {
layoutConstraints.gridx = column;
layoutConstraints.gridy = row;
layoutConstraints.gridwidth = width;
layoutConstraints.gridheight = height;
layoutConstraints.insets = inset1;
layout.setConstraints(component, layoutConstraints);
add(component);
}
}
The problem is with your gridwidth and your fill properties...
Basically all I changed was...
addComponent(titleLabel, 0, 0, GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER, 2, inset); // I tried (0,1,2,2)
addComponent(comboBox1, 3, 0, 1, 3, inset);
addComponent(comboBox2, 3, 2, 1, 3, inset);
addComponent(textField1, 6, 0, 1, 2, inset);
addComponent(equalLabel, 6, 1, 1, 2, inset);
addComponent(textField2, 6, 2, 1, 2, inset);
layoutConstraints.fill = GridBagConstraints.NONE;
addComponent(resultLabel, 8, 0, GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER, 1, inset);
addComponent(convertButton, 10, 0, GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER, 2, inset);
You could play around with a few of the others.
As for defining the actual size of the panel, the best you can do is to override the getPreferredSize method of the TimeGui ...
@Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(400, 350);
}
Which will "suggest" to the parent container what size you would like to be laid out to. Just remember, this is an optional value and layout managers are well within there rights to ignore it.
