I've bumped into an odd problem creating a GUI in swing. As you will see in the screenshots, I have a tabbed layout. Each tab is a Jpanel. On this panel I have put a JList, containing a series of objects. My intention is to have a single column of objects in the list, and have it to scroll when the objects exceed the vertical space.
My code is this:
Expand|Select|Wrap|Line Numbers
- private JComponent createListBox() {
- Object[] test = {"Thingy 1","Thingy 2",...};
- JList list = new JList(test);
- list.setLayoutOrientation(JList.VERTICAL_WRAP);
- list.setSelectionMode(ListSelectionModel.SINGLE_SELECTION);
- list.setSize(385, 480);
- list.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(385, 480));
- list.setVisibleRowCount(-1);
- list.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(385,480));
- JScrollPane listScroller = new JScrollPane(list);
- return listScroller;
- }
When I use VERTICAL_WRAP I get this:
It's more than one column, I agree, but atleast it works.
When I use VERTICAL (which should be the option for what I intend to do) I get this:
My JList is squashed. It appears it doesn't take the set sizes into account.
I have little experience in creating GUI's, and I haven't found a solution. I hope you can help me.
Thanks.
The layoutManger on the pannel is a FlowLayout btw.
