How to set the preferred size of the textfield?

Hi,
For this code here, I want to make the following gui, but I can't:
JTextField name = new JTextField(20);
aaaa: [________] <---- this is the JTextField
aaaaaa [________]
bbbbbb [________]
cccccc [________]
I've tried many ways, such as:
1) use JPanel to store each row (which contains label, and textfield) using flowLayout, and then put all the rows into JPanel with gridLayout, every row not aligning tidily, some left, some right....
2) I also tried to put the into a gridLayout with 4 rows and 2 columns, but then the textField just stretch the whole row
Does anybody have any suggestions? Thx
Adrian

let me give you a wide example:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TFExample {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame f = new JFrame();
f.addWindowListener(new BasicWindowMonitor());
// Create several fields using different constructors
JTextField t1 = new JTextField();
JTextField t2 = new JTextField(11);
JTextField t3 = new JTextField("mmmmmmmmmmm");
JTextField t4 = new JTextField("Hello World");
JTextField t5 = new JTextField("Hello World", 11);
JTextField t6 = new JTextField("Hello World");
JTextField t7 = new JTextField(2);
JTextField t8 = new JTextField();
// Validate the container when we hit 'enter' in t4.
final JTextField ref = t4;
ref.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ev) {
ref.getParent().validate();
ref.setScrollOffset(0);
// Make sure t6 won't grow on us (like t4 will)
t6.setPreferredSize(t6.getPreferredSize());
// Use a fixed-width font on t7-2 characters wide . . . not!
t7.setFont(new Font("Monospaced", Font.PLAIN, 12));
// A little trick to make t8 really 2 characters wide
t8.setText(" "); // 2 characters . . .
t8.setFont(new Font("Monospaced", Font.PLAIN, 12));
t8.setPreferredSize(t8.getPreferredSize());
t8.setText(""); // empty the field
// Shift all the fields with content back to the left
t3.setScrollOffset(0);
t4.setScrollOffset(0);
t5.setScrollOffset(0);
t6.setScrollOffset(0);
// Display all the fields . . .
Container content = f.getContentPane();
content.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc.gridy = 0;
content.add(t1, gbc); gbc.gridy++;
content.add(t2, gbc); gbc.gridy++;
content.add(t3, gbc); gbc.gridy++;
content.add(t4, gbc); gbc.gridy++;
content.add(t5, gbc); gbc.gridy++;
content.add(t6, gbc); gbc.gridy++;
content.add(t7, gbc); gbc.gridy++;
content.add(t8, gbc);
f.setSize(150, 200);
f.setVisible(true);

  • How to set the textfield not to scroll the text?

    hi to all....
    what will i do if i want the textfield not
    to scroll the text if the text is very long..
    what if i wanted the text will just display
    "this is a test..." a three dots will be display
    before reaching the end of the textfield...
    i tried geting the width of the text but what
    if the string contains so much letters such as letter
    "i" good if it will contain letters with big spaces to
    occupy.. but if letter "i" it would be small...
    pls. tell me.
    thanks in advance
    Kent

    well, u can do this...
    catch the keyPressed event which is generated when u press the VK_RIGHT button ( ->, right arrow key) (which u will for scrolling) and consume the event as soon as u reach the width of the text field.

  • Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

    Hi, I am using Indesign CS6, How to set the page size in Inches.

    All fields in InDesign can be entered in any measurement system. So, if you want to make an 8"x10" document and go to File>New Document and the window looks like this:
    …you can type either 8 in or 8" into the Width field like this:
    …and when you move to the next field, it will convert the eight inches into the equivalent number in the unit of measure that it is using at the moment, like this:
    … (203.2 milimeters is the same as 8 inches). You can also enter a different measurement unit into other fields once the file is created, such as the width or height of a frame, or the position of an object in the X and Y coordinates.
    If you would rather just work in inches instead of having to type the inches mark or abbreviation, go to InDesign>Preferences>General and select the Units & Increments tab. There you will see Ruler Units for Horizontal and Vertical at the top of the window. Set them to Inches and all of the fields will display in inches. If you do that to an open document, you will change the unit of measure for that document. If you do it while no documents are open, it will change the unit of measure for any new documents you create. To change the unit of measure for existing documents, you will have to open each and make the change.

  • How to set the size of a JTabbedane to the size of the frame

    I have a tabbed pane in a frame, I would like to know how to set the size of the tabbed pane, so that it occupies the whole of the frame which has been set to screen size.
    Thanks

    Is it not possible to use it with a GridBagLayout?Your question was "How do I get a tabbed pane to take all the space of the frame"?
    You where given the answer. Did you try it? Did it work? Then why are you questioning the suggestion?
    Its one line of code if you use a BorderLayout which by the way was specifically designed for this purpose.
    Yes you can do it with a GridBagLayout with about 5 lines of code.
    So the question is why would you want to write 5 lines of code when you can use one?
    If your question was "How do I waste my time forcing the GridBagLayout to size a component to take up all the space of the frame", then you would have received a different answer. (Although most people would have told you to use a BorderLayout anyway, since its easier).

  • How to modify the blob size, or how to set the size?

    i want to know how to modify the blob size, or how to set the size?
    what's the default size of blob?
    Thanks in advance.

    Blob datatype can contain binary data with a maximum size of 4 GB.
    when you enter 10kb file, the database will only use 10kb to store the file (depending on block size etc)
    if you want to modify the blob size, you may do like this:
    SQL> create materialized view t_mv refresh fast on commit
    2 as select id, dbms_lob.getlength(x) len from t;
    Materialized view created.
    SQL> alter table t_mv add constraint t_mv_chk check (len < 100);
    Table altered.

  • How to set the frame size?

    Hi,
    Can some one show me how to set the frame size in this program? History: I have created a window and added a button but its to small. So I want to increase the size of the frame to at least 600X400 pixel.
    private static void showGUI() {
            //Create and set up the window.
            JFrame frame = new JFrame("ButtonDemo");
            frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
            //Create and set up the content pane.
            Main newContentPane = new Main();
            newContentPane.setOpaque(true); //content panes must be opaque
            frame.setContentPane(newContentPane);
            //Display the window.
            frame.pack();
            frame.setVisible(true);
        }It would be nice if you could show me how to do it.
    Thank you very much for reading this.

    Challenger wrote:
    Simply adding
    frame.setSize(new Dimension(600,400));to the end of your code should work perfectly.Or, if you want to do it correctly, .setPreferredSize() on your frame before you .pack() it. The default layout manager for JFrame is BorderLayout, which uses the preferredSize of each component to calculate sizes during the .pack() call.

    Hi,
    How to set the page size of a B tree node in berkeley db java edition?
    thanks.

    The two systems have different performance characteristics. If you are concerned with the performance characteristics, then the best way to tell is to benchmark them.
    By the way, both BDB and BDB JE are B-trees.

    That's pretty much all there is, although you could always add a componentlistener and manually not let the size go below your minimum.
    Or you could try overriding setSize...

  • How to set the fix size jframe window

    when I run the jframe ,the jframe window size is very small
    1)how to set the fix size jframe window??
    2)how to set the jframe cannot change the window size??
    thx~~

    1. You can set the size by calling JFrame's method setSize. There are two versions of this method: (1) setSize(int width, int height) and (2) setSize(Dimension d). Note, that when you use this method to set the frame size, you don't have to call JFrame's pack method.
    2. JFrame has a method called setResizable(boolean resizable) which you can call with the argument false.
    Without any ill intent, these questions are regarding something that is very easily answered by looking at the documentation for the JFrame class. I suggest to anyone working with swing to at least look briefly through the base classes they're extending before giving up. In my experience it is always more gratifying to figure things out on my own than asking someone. But please don't take this the wrong way, I respect people who seek out help in order to further their knowledge, instead of just giving up.

  • How to set the stack size for alchemy application?

    Anybody know how to set the stack size for alchemy application?
    If you know, please tell me how to adjust the stack size for alchemy application?

    Hi,
    The stack size is set as public const gstackSize in the alchemy generated code.  You can see this if you build with ACHACKS_TMPS set.  The default is one megabyte.
    One way to change the stack size is to use llvm-dis to disassemble avm2-libc/lib/avm2-libc.l.bc, generating avm2-libc.l.ll, modify the constant, and then use llvm-as to recompile your modified library and overwrite the old one.  These utilities should be in your path if alchemy is set up.
