Hi,
I have a problem with some panels. They have some buttons, textFields and so on. Thats why the size of the panels are different and it looks bad. If there is space left, the panel should be big as the biggest panels of all. I cant use an absolute Layout. So how can I make them the same size? I think it is a design question...
Please help
Thanks a lot
regards Kay

GridLayout. Not knowing how your screen looks doesn't help. If you can't use that for whatever reason. You could set the maximum size and minimum size to the same for all. They won't resize when you enlarge the window though.

Have you tried putting them in a GridLayout? You are using GridBagLayout in your code example.

Here is another way of doing it. You would have to find the largest size if doing it this way.
