miglayout: can't get right-alignment to work
- by Jason S
Something's not right here. I'm trying to get the rightmost button (labeled "help" in the example below) to be right-aligned to the JFrame, and the huge buttons to have their width tied to the JFrame but be at least 180px each. I got the huge button constraint to work, but not the right alignment.
I thought the right alignment was accomplished by gapbefore push (as in this other SO question), but I can't figure it out.
Can anyone help me?
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import net.miginfocom.swing.MigLayout;
public class RightAlignQuestion {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("right align question");
JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();
frame.setContentPane(mainPanel);
mainPanel.setLayout(new MigLayout("insets 0", "[grow]", ""));
JPanel topPanel = new JPanel();
topPanel.setLayout(new MigLayout("", "[][][][]", ""));
for (int i = 0; i < 3; ++i)
topPanel.add(new JButton("button"+i), "");
topPanel.add(new JButton("help"), "gapbefore push, wrap");
topPanel.add(new JButton("big button"), "span 3, grow");
JPanel bottomPanel = new JPanel();
bottomPanel.setLayout(new MigLayout("",
"[180:180:,grow][180:180:,grow]","100:"));
bottomPanel.add(new JButton("tweedledee"), "grow");
bottomPanel.add(new JButton("tweedledum"), "grow");
mainPanel.add(topPanel, "grow, wrap");
mainPanel.add(bottomPanel, "grow");
frame.pack();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
