----------------------------------- Aziz Sat Jul 09, 2005 10:25 am SWING and layout question ----------------------------------- Yes, I know, I'm annoying, I mean, look at all my help topics?? Holy crap, psycho!!! Anyways, my problem. In my program, the character manager as you all know by now, I have the text area. Now I want to make it so that when I resize the window, that and ONLY that (the text area) gets bigger. Now, before, i had it set to a kind-of-large number of rows, past the viewable window (its in a scrollpane), but when i resize to the maximum size of the text area, all the other components stretch, now, what can i do to fix this? I'm using a Spring layout... ----------------------------------- 1of42 Sat Jul 09, 2005 1:01 pm Re: SWING and layout question ----------------------------------- Yes, I know, I'm annoying, I mean, look at all my help topics??

I think the only layout manager that will allow you to do that kind of thing is the GridBagLayout manager. ----------------------------------- Aziz Sat Jul 09, 2005 1:33 pm ----------------------------------- Oi, I see.
