A question for those familiar with MigLayout
sorry couldn't think of a more appropriate name for the question...
I'm trying to create a layout that will end up looking like the following:
+---------+---------+
| btn1 | btn2 |
+---------+---------+
| |
| btn3 |
| |
+-------------------+
when the window is resized the components btn1 and btn2 should fill the x-axis (half each), and the component btn3 should fill both the x-axis and all of the available space in the y-axis.
how would you achieve this?
here's some code to start with:
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JFrame window = new JFrame();
window.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
Container cp = window.getContentPane();
cp.setLayout(new MigLayout(""));
cp.add(new JButton("btn1"), "");
cp.add(new JButton("btn2"), "");
cp.add(new JButton("btn3"), "");
window.pack();
window.setVisible(true);
}
This is pretty easy in MigLayout:
setLayout(new MigLayout("fill"));
add(new JButton("button 1"), "w 50%");
add(new JButton("button 2"), "w 50%, wrap");
add(new JButton("button 3"), "grow, push, span");
If you read pstanton's original question, I think the layout instructions required are very close to how he formulated it. That's what I like about MigLayout :)
