Resizing the JPanel

Jul 20, 2016 11:22:29

Hi All,
I am trying to fix a piece of code thats been built by another developer. I am completely new to Swings. So I am mostly googling and trying to fix the bug. Please help me
I have a main screen on which theres a 'New' button. Once the user clicks on this 'New' button, a new JPanel pops up with some fields to be entered by the user. There is an option to Save/ Cancel the details entered by the user.
Now the issue is, the new Panel that pops up is occupying my full screen. Though I have scroll bars to scroll down and look at all the fields to be entered, I cannot see the Save/Cancel button, until I resize the Panel manually.
Below is the code for the new Panel that pops up. There is a base panel, button panel (for Save/Cancel buttons) and then the Control panel- which has all the fields to be entered by the user. The control panel and the button panel are added to the base panel. Below is the code:

I tried using resize(), setDimensions() functions on the basePanel, but thats not working. Please advise on what else I can try.
