Could somebody tell me which java layout I need to use to achieve the layout below:
I am currently playing out with the FlowLayout however I can’t get the entry fields to line up beside the output window:
Apologies if this is a simple question this is my first time using java. Here is my frame code:
private void makeFrame()
{
setLayout(new FlowLayout(0));
JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
JPanel panel2 = new JPanel();
JPanel panel3 = new JPanel();
JPanel panel4 = new JPanel();
JPanel panel5 = new JPanel();
JPanel panel6 = new JPanel();
JPanel panel7 = new JPanel();
panel1.setLayout(new FlowLayout(0));
panel2.setLayout(new FlowLayout(0));
panel3.setLayout(new FlowLayout(0));
panel4.setLayout(new FlowLayout(0));
panel5.setLayout(new FlowLayout(0));
panel6.setLayout(new FlowLayout(0));
panel7.setLayout(new FlowLayout(0));
JLabel firstnameJLabel = new JLabel("First Name");
JLabel lastnameJLabel = new JLabel("Last Name");
JLabel streetJLabel = new JLabel("Street");
JLabel townJLabel = new JLabel("Town");
JLabel postcodeJLabel = new JLabel("Post Code");
panel1.add(listAllBtn);
panel1.add(listPersonalBtn);
panel1.add(listBusinessBtn);
panel1.add(addPersonalBtn);
panel1.add(addBusinessBtn);
panel1.add(deleteBtn);
panel1.add(findBtn);
panel1.add(quitBtn);
panel2.add(firstnameJLabel);
panel2.add(this.firstNameField);
panel2.add(this.bookScrollPane);
this.outputArea.setEditable(false);
panel3.add(lastnameJLabel);
panel3.add(this.lastNameField);
panel4.add(streetJLabel);
panel4.add(this.streetField);
panel5.add(townJLabel);
panel5.add(this.townField);
panel6.add(postcodeJLabel);
panel6.add(this.postcodeField);
panel7.add(enterBtn);
add(panel1);
add(panel2);
add(panel3);
add(panel4);
add(panel5);
add(panel6);
add(panel7);
enterBtn.addActionListener(this);
}
