如何使 JTable 在 Window 在 Eclipse 最大化时自动调整大小

Question

working on a gui app in Eclipse using windowsbuilder plugin. The app works just fine. but the jTable won't resize when I drag the edges of the window. or when I maximize the app. There are other components on the window which I would like to automatically resize; however, the jtable is the one that is a must for me. when I maximize the window the table stays the same size. I'm using Absolute Layout for the layout manager. so positioning the elements on the window was just a matter of drag and drop. I have looked for the properties that allow me to set resize = true or something similar and I found autoRisizeMode. so I set it to true. that didn't work. any suggestions? Here's the code for my Gui initialize() method

private void initialize()  {        
        frame = new JFrame();
        frame.setAlwaysOnTop(true);
        frame.getContentPane().setBackground(new Color(240, 240, 240));
        frame.setBounds(100, 100, 882, 577);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        frame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);

        JLabel lblIpRange = new JLabel("Ip Range");
        lblIpRange.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 14));
        lblIpRange.setBounds(10, 59, 55, 14);
        frame.getContentPane().add(lblIpRange);

        startIpLabel = new JTextField();
        startIpLabel.setBounds(75, 58, 100, 20);
        frame.getContentPane().add(startIpLabel);
        startIpLabel.setColumns(10);

        endIpLabel = new JTextField();
        endIpLabel.setBounds(198, 58, 100, 20);
        frame.getContentPane().add(endIpLabel);
        endIpLabel.setColumns(10);      
        String[] columns = {"Number", "Ip Address", "Hostname", "Mac"};             

        JButton scanButton = new JButton("Scan");
        scanButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {    
                try {
                    ipScan = new IpScanMain(startIpLabel.getText());
                    ipScan.startIpScanning();
                } catch (IOException e1) {
                    // TODO Auto-generated catch block
                    e1.printStackTrace();
                }
                allNodes = ipScan.getAllNodes();
                int rows = allNodes.size();
                data = new Object[rows][COLUMNS];
                int index = 0;
                for(Node node : allNodes) {
                    data[index][0] = index;
                    data[index][1] = node.getIp();
                    data[index][2] = node.getHostName();
                    data[index][3] = node.getMac();
                    index++;
                }
                table.setModel(new DefaultTableModel(data, columns));

Answer 1

The reason your JTable is not resized after frame gets resized, is because you getContentPane.setLayout(null) . You should use the proper LayoutManager and let it do the work for you. Setting absolute layout ( null ) will give you hard time since you have to set the coordinates and the dimensions of each component manually. Plus, as you are already facing, JFrame cannot be resizable or work in a screen with other resolution, which is totally unfriendly.

Another post where it explains more and why absolute positioning is bad in Swing is this one.
