Hi people,
I'm kind of new when it comes to designing a GUI. I find it REAL hard to actually place components where i'd like them. Is the use of LayoutManagers and various containers common in normal Swing GUI?
For example, would i divide the JFrame up into four containers (JPanels):
____
|_||_|
|_||_| (one JFrame, 4 JPanels)
and then each panel can get a diferrent LayoutManager implementation?
Would this be normal? (I can only use the
Java Swing API and no other 3rd party project because it's for my
SCJD).
And what i don't understand is why the components fill up all of the cells.
Can someone please help me with this design problem i am having?
Thanks and regards,
Marzo.
