public class LabeledColumn
extends javax.swing.JPanel

A labeled column of Swing components.

Using gridbag layouts to create labeled columns of components with proper alignment is one of the Swing programmer's less pleasant jobs. This class makes it easier.

Constructor Detail

LabeledColumn

public LabeledColumn(java.awt.Insets insets,
                     java.awt.Font font,
                     int minLabelWidth,
                     int maxValueWidth)

Constructs a new labeled column panel.

Parameters:

insets - Insets for components, or null to use the default value of (5,5,5,5).

font - Font for strings, or null to use the default settings for JLabel components.

minLabelWidth - Minimum width for label column, or 0 if no minimum width.

maxValueWidth - Maximum width for value column, or 0 if none. Value strings longer than the maximum width are word wrapped.

LabeledColumn

public LabeledColumn()

Constructs a new labeled column panel.

The default insets (5,5,5,5) and the default JLabel font are used, with no minimum label width or maximum value width.

Method Detail

addComponent

protected void addComponent(javax.swing.JComponent component)

Adds a component to the panel.

Parameters:

component - The component.

If the component appears to be a multiline text field, its weights are set so that it grows horizontally and vertically as much as possible when the window is resized.

addPair

public void addPair(javax.swing.JComponent label,
                    javax.swing.JComponent value)

Adds a pair of components to the panel.

Parameters:

label - Label component.

value - Value component.

addPair

public void addPair(java.lang.String label,
                    javax.swing.JComponent component)

Adds a labeled component to the panel.

Parameters:

label - The label.

component - The component.

addPair

public void addPair(java.lang.String label,
                    java.lang.String value,
                    java.awt.Font valueFont)

Adds a labeled string to the panel.

Parameters:

label - The label.

value - The string value. This is turned into one or more JLabel components.

valueFont - The font for the value string, or null to use the same font as the label.

addPair

public void addPair(java.lang.String label,
                    java.lang.String value)

Adds a labeled string to the panel.

Parameters:

label - The label.

value - The string value. This is turned into one or more JLabel components.
