Examples

There are two example programs provided for TableLayout.

The Example1 program compares TableLayout + with GridBagLayout. It uses the code found on the API page for GridBagLayout + and then adds code to create + the equivalent layout using TableLayout.

I hope the TableLayout version is much easier to understand. It's definitely + a lot shorter!

The second program is called + TableExplorer. While you are + free to examine the code, it is really a tool you run to learn how to + use the TableLayout.

If you download the FLib source, you can use Ant to build and run + the example programs:

cd TableLayout
+ant runExample1
+ant runTableExplorer

The Example1 class will display two windows, one created using GridBagLayout + and the other using TableLayout. You can resize the windows to verify + that + the behavior + is + identical.

When you run the TableExplorer program, it will display a text field + at the bottom with the words "Start Here!" and an Add button + next to it. You create JButton components by entering the component name + (which + also + becomes its label) and pressing the Add button. Each component added + shows up in the list above the text field.

Selecting Window / Show Preview Window from the menu will bring up a + window containing the JButtons. You can then set the table attributes + and table cell defaults to control the table layout. You can also select + a component from the list and set its cell attributes. Your changes should + be reflected immediately in the preview window.

You can also display a code window which will show you the code necessary + to generate the displayed layout.
