Change FormLayout alignment at runtime

Question

Is there a way using JGoodies FormLayout to change the alignment of a component once it has been set?

for example,

CellConstraints cc = new CellCosntraints();
panel.add(component,cc.xy(1,1,CellConstraints.DEFAULT,CellConstraints.FILL));

If I want to change component to be have a row constraint of DEFAULT instead of FILL, is there a way to change it now that it has been set without removing and re-adding the component?

Answer 1

It looks like you can:

FormLayout l = new FormLayout();
...
l.setContraints(component, newconstraints);

then probably do a revalidate() on the container to update things.

Answer 2

there are two ways (@Jim +1 for correct direction)

1) fills available Dimension inside container without resize for container

revalidate() //covered validate()
repaint() // required in some cases for JLabel, JTextComponents, JScrollPane ...

2) fills available Dimension inside container with resize for container

pack();

this code can help you
