Question
I have a class PanelTrial extends JPanel & implements GroupLayout. In it, I have a JTabbedPane namely jTabbedPane on left & another JPanel namely rightPanel on right. In rightPanel, I load 2 panels (namely compoPanel, btnsPanel) alternatively during runtime.
My Issue : Width of compoPanel, btnsPanel is different (and I want it to be different). Initially compoPanel (that is bigger in W) is loaded in the rightPanel. I am looking for is, when I load btnsPanel in rightPanel, I want the jTabbedPane's size to increase and occupy all free space. I update the PreferredSize of jTabbedPane & rightPanel - and their sizes also change. BUT location of rightPanel doesn't move to extreme right - this makes it in the middle of jTabbedPane.
Here is the code that I use :
orgTabDimen = new Dimension(350, 600);
newTabDimen = new Dimension(500, 600);
orgRghtDimen = new Dimension(280, 574);
newRghtDimen = new Dimension(50, 574);
private void updateRightPanel(boolean showBtnPanel) {
rightPanel.removeAll();
GroupLayout layout = (GroupLayout) rightPanel.getLayout();
if (showBtnPanel) {
// SHOW BTNSpANEL
layout.setHorizontalGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup()
.addComponent(btnPanel));
layout.setVerticalGroup(layout.createParallelGroup(
Alignment.TRAILING).addComponent(btnPanel));
// Set respective dimesions
rightPanel.setPreferredSize(newRghtDimen);
this.jTabbedPane1.setPreferredSize(newTabDimen);
} else {
// SHOW COMPOpANEL
layout.setHorizontalGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup()
.addComponent(compoPanel));
layout.setVerticalGroup(layout.createParallelGroup(
Alignment.TRAILING).addComponent(compoPanel));
rightPanel.setPreferredSize(orgRghtDimen);
this.jTabbedPane1.setPreferredSize(orgTabDimen);
}
jPanel1.validate();
this.validate();
}
Can anyone help me solve this issue - am stuck up here. Can't figure out a way where the btnsPanel shows up on extreme right. I even tried with calling invalidate(), but that also didn't help me.
Any help is highly appreciative.
Thanks
