Auto-resizing all components

Is there a method that auto resizes all components on a JFrame when it is maximised for example. I have got a JTable (in a scrollpane) and some other components on a panel. I have sized the frame to be approx 80% of the screen size. When the frame is maximised, the table and the other components retain their original size (understandably so!). Is there a method available that can resize the panel and its components to resize accordingly when the frame is maximised?...I know I can add the componentListener and implement a method in the componentResized() method...but I dont want to duplicate stuff that's already available. Thanx for your help.

I don't know the specific needs.
BorderLayout: simple Layout; Components are oriented NORTH, EAST, SOUTH, WEST
FlowLayout: all components are added after the other
GridLayout: components are oriented in a grid
GridBagLayout: complex once
See the Java Tutorial for more information.

Auto resizing of components to fit into full-screen

hi,
does anyone know how to autoresize components so that
when the frame is at full-screen mode, components resize
automatically?
thanx =)

Auto-resize the components of JTabbedPane with JPanels

Hi,
We have swing window with tabbed pane having two JPanels. There are couple of components (button/text
fields/JXTable/Jtree ..etc)added to each panel. so far, every thing is working fine.
Issue is, when we try to expand the winodw size, the components of each panel are static. The size of components
are not changing accorning to window size. All the components are center alligned with increasing the window size. It would be great help, if you can help on this.
Following is the sample code used to prepare swing window.

I never use GridBagLayout.
I suggest that you change to combinations of BorderLayout, GridLayout (without "Bag"!) and GroupLayout.

How to avoid auto resizing the JPanel

I have JFrame as main window. This JFrame consist of statusbar at the bottom of the JFrame. The statusbar has implemented as a panel that uses BorderLayout. This statusbar has two JPanels as children.
1) the first child panel(label panel) has 3 labels on it.
2) the second child panel(image panel) has only one label with a image and this second panel is added to statusbar to the next of the first child.
3) all panels use BorderLayout.
If I resize the JFrame by dragging its right border (right to left) both the panels on the statusbar are auto resizing. But I don't want to resize the image panel on the statusbar. I mean even if I resize the frame the size of the image panel should not change. It has to always visible completly.
Any help is heighly appreciated.
Regards
Venkat

There could be several different ways to achieve this, but it all boils down to using appropriate layouts and/or preferredSizes.

JTable in JScrollPane auto resize refresh problem

Hello,
I have a JTable in a JScrollPane. Number of rows is changing.
I'm using the following to auto-resize JScrollPane.
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
              Dimension size = super.getPreferredSize();
              size.height -= getViewport().getPreferredSize().height;
              Component view = getViewport().getView();
              if(view != null)
              size.height += view.getPreferredSize().height;
              return size;
         }There is a JButton, which adds an empty row to the JTable. It all works fine, except the auto-resize when a new row is added. I want all rows of JTable to be visible, with no scrollbars present. I tried repaint(), revalidate(), addNotify(). What should I do?
Thanks.

How can I disable the auto resizing in NetBeans?

Hello,
how can I disable the auto resizing in NetBeans?
I cannot resize nor displace components due to this automation.

first what do u mean by auto resizing ? if u mean the layout that automatically aligns itself then ..... if that's yr question then u need to set the layout to null
if using netbeans then right click on the the mainPanel and setlayout to null if eclipse the frame.getContent.setlayout(null);
NetBean doesn't have a forum it has mailing list u can subscribe there

Auto Resize Text in a Text Box

How do you make the text inside of a text box auto resize to fit the box I'm typing in?
I have a text box with a list in it. I change this list everyday and like the text to fit the box. The size of the text doesn't matter. If I have a long list, I don't mind that the font is small. If I have a short list that day, I don't mind that the font size is then big. Hopefully I am making sense. I used to use text boxes like this in MS Publisher and am assuming I just need to find a setting change in Pages.
I do this often enough that it would save time not having to keep guessing the correct font size until it fits properly.
Thanks!

Assuming that application B will behave the same than application A is always a bad idea.
There is no reason for such a guess.

Scaling / Resizing Catalyst Components in Builder

Hi,
I'm looking at setting up the proper workflow for a large project. We envision multiple developers and multiple designers on the project.
The major sticking point now is scaling and resizing the components generated by Catalyst once they're in Builder. One would think that once you've skinned, for example, a scrollbar in Catalyst that you could then resize it in Builder to match different layouts.
However, as I suspect you already know, the sizes do not change at all in Builder.
We can get into the source code in builder and add in a bunch of width/height = 100% attributes, but these break down at the point that there are Paths defined in the code. The Path elements would need to be re-coded to scale.
So, I really have two questions:
1) What exactly does "Convert to Optimized Graphic" do? Will this recreate all Paths to standard shapes that will scale?
2) Is there a better system coming in the next Beta? If so, can you describe it a bit?
Thanks a lot,
Kirk

This morning I sat down to use catalyst for the first time. I am preparing for a talk at Flash on The Beach in Brighton this year and I was hoping to be able to show how a view build in Catalyst could be injected into an app using Robotlegs.
I watched http://tv.adobe.com/watch/adc-presents/create-spark-component-skins-using-flash-catalyst and thought that looked cool.
I also watched http://tv.adobe.com/watch/flash-catalyst-cs5-feature-tour/sending-your-project-to-a-develo per, and saw the component library output looked awesome.
So I started to build an interface, first by creating a custom button component (much like the first video) and then distributing those buttons in a completely custom button holder component. It is this button holder that would be injected, and in the holder each button would have an id so that references to them could be obtained after injection into the application.
From the videos above this looked eminently doable and quite a good workflow. Designer design and layout components that get built into a library, and developers use those components in an application without actually recoding the components.
This sounded great, but imagine my dissapointment when I discovered
1) A custom component can not be resized in the design view of Catalyst - you have to create another component class with a different size!
2) A component/skin developed in Catalyst can not even resize when imported into Flash Builder unless you recode it.
3) You can't name instances of components in the design view.
So my plan was completely foiled. I mean, surely a button skin/component can not be considered a button skin/component unless it can be resized!
I like Flex and I think Flex 4 is a big step forward, however I have never met a designer who liked it. Designers cannot effectively layout applications themselves using Flex. In fact where I work they are pushing to prevent ANY future flex development because of the problems with designers not being able to do this (we make and maintain some very highly skinned Flex 3 applications). I am the only front end Flex developer there and anytime I start to develop in Flex it is seen as very awkward and a problem.
I hoped that Catalyst would solve some of these problems, but it unfortunately fails dismally because of the above problems that I mentioned.
These three things would go a long way to improving developer design workflow for Flex and Catalyst. Any ideas for if/when this functionality might be included?

Something is wrong with Firefox's image auto resize

In forums, when I post an image, it's seems to be doing an incorrect image auto resize, for the image is still large to be fit in the websites' pages, and when I CTRL+Scroll, the browser makes a proper resize though making the letters and numbers smaller.

Resizing images automatically only works if you open an image in a tab and there is only that image to be shown. In all other cases it is the website that determines how large an image is displayed.<br />
If you post an image on a forum and the forum doesn't resize the image automatically then use an upload host that automatically generates a thumbnail that you can show and that opens the full sized image if you click the thumbnail.

Auto resize columns.

How can i get finder to auto resize my columns in columns view?
(I know how to option-click resize them)
best...Jan

to resize the grey bar on the left, all you need to do is move the arrow to the line on the edge of the box, the far right line and the little symbol that allows you to adjust windows appears and then you can adjust it to any size of your preference. as for the auto-sizing columns, i don't even know how to change the size so i wouldn't know how to auto size it...sorry. hope that helps

Why can't I double click column seperaters to auto resize in OSX Lion?

Why can't I double click column seperaters to auto resize in OSX Lion?

No idea, why you are so aggressive. We are only all trying to help each other.
You didn't mention anything about Cover Flow in your orignal posts, did you? I am neither content or not content using Column view. This has nothing to do with me! I was simply trying to help you by suggesting that Column view works.
By the way, I am not wrong. Column view resizes perfectly well when the vertical separator line is double clicked.

Auto resizing tables for screen resolution

Hi everyone.
Im currently working on my website using dreamweaver, and i
just stumbled across a problem. Im building my website for screen
resolution 1020x768. However, alot of people tend to use 1280x1024
nowadays. The problem is that images get all screwed up at
different screen resolutions.
The best way to fix this would be auto resizing tables (so a
1280 using can view my 1024 website without any problems). But, i
have no idea how to create this. Ive been trying dreamweavers help,
but that didnt help me.
So i was wondering if anyone around here has the solution for
my problem.
Thanks in advance!

not all the days have the same amount of activities, so is it
possible to have pop-up windows that auto-resize according to how
much text is in the pop-up window?

i dont know of any extensions that provide this....
however you could do something based on # characters. create
some calculation for the height of the window based on #
characters.

Auto Size All Columns

_Auto Size All Columns_ no longer auto sizes the Name column in the Windows version of iTunes. Furthermore, _Auto Size All Columns_ ought to be a configurable option that works automatically whenever you select different music in the library to appear in the browser. Let the software do the work of resizing the columns. That's what computers are for!
Yeah, I know that I'm supposed to report this via the Apple feedback mechanism. I've done that twice now with no results. I'd appreciate it if you reported it too. I'm tired of having to readjust column widths every time I choose a new selection to appear in the browser. You should be too. Report it. Complain about it. Do something!

I tried that and it doesn't work. I make the shortcut in SP, but when I select "Auto Size All Columns" in iTunes, the shortcut isn't to the right of it.

Auto Withdrawl of components(Backflushing)

Dear Sir,
How can we do the auto withdrawl of components (backflush/consumption-261) without activating the backflush indicator in MRP 2 view of material during the confirmation(CO11N) of production order?
Thanking You,
Sachin

Dear Sachin,
I do agree for all the experts who have replied to your this message.
I will explain what I have done to achieve the Backflushin of material at the Production Order Level.
1. Maintain material master data for Backflushing i.e. in MRP2 view, you have to maintain the backflushing indicator also if you are maintaining the material in Batches make entry in "Batch Entry" field in MRP2 view.
2. When you maintain the routing, you have to decide at which operation confirmation what material is to be backflushed. Once you have decided that, go to component allocation, select the check box of backflushing against each material, select "New Assignment" and in this put the operation number for which you want backflush to happen. Save the data.
3. Once you complete above mentioned steps, carry out MRP run with "Re-explode BOM and Routing" planning mode.
After MRP you will get the planned orders for the material. Convert to production order and check after releasing whether batches are assigned or not. Confirm the production order.
In CO11N screen at the material movement button, you can find which materials, how much qty from which batch is going to be issued.
I suggest, you carry out this activity in development first and revert back in case of any difficulty.
Regards,
Rahul.
