BorderLayout problem with JSplitPane after adding JToolbar (Java)
- by Alex Cheng
Hello all.
Problem:
My program layout is fine, as below before I add JToolbar to BorderLayout.PAGE_START
Here's a screenshot before JToolbar is added:
Here's how it looked like after adding JToolbar:
May I know what did I do wrong?
Here's the code I used:
//Create the text pane and configure it.
textPane = new JTextPane();
-snipped code-
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(textPane);
scrollPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300, 300));
//Create the text area for the status log and configure it.
changeLog = new JTextArea(5, 30);
changeLog.setEditable(false);
JScrollPane scrollPaneForLog = new JScrollPane(changeLog);
//Create a split pane for the change log and the text area.
JSplitPane splitPane = new JSplitPane(
JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT,
scrollPane, scrollPaneForLog);
splitPane.setOneTouchExpandable(true);
//Create the status area.
JPanel statusPane = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, 1));
CaretListenerLabel caretListenerLabel =
new CaretListenerLabel("Caret Status");
statusPane.add(caretListenerLabel);
//Create the toolbar
JToolBar toolBar = new JToolBar();
-snipped code-
//Add the components.
getContentPane().add(toolBar, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
getContentPane().add(splitPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
getContentPane().add(statusPane, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
//Set up the menu bar.
actions = createActionTable(textPane);
JMenu editMenu = createEditMenu();
JMenu styleMenu = createStyleMenu();
JMenuBar mb = new JMenuBar();
mb.add(editMenu);
mb.add(styleMenu);
setJMenuBar(mb);
Please help, I'm new to GUI Building, and I don't feel like using Netbeans to drag and drop the UI for me... Thank you in advance.
