如何将多个 JTextfields 放在 BorderLayout 中心的不同行上？

Question

So firstly, I added the text fields and their labels into separate panels as I wanted them to be in line with each other, I added them via Flow layout;

        //add them in Flow Layout
        panel.add(label_1);panel.add(file_name);
        pane2.add(label_2);pane2.add(h_link);
        pane3.add(label_3);pane3.add(pages);

What i wanted to do next is to add them using BorderLayout in a way that all of them will be in the center of the window. Additionally, I wanted to add submit button of the details;

        frame.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER, panel);
        frame.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER, pane2);
        frame.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.CENTER, pane3);
        frame.getContentPane().add(BorderLayout.SOUTH, submit);
        frame.setVisible(true);

As I am writing this post, I did not achived the result that i wanted , the screenshot attached shows the resulting frame which is not I wanted. By all means, if you have also any suggestions for how to do it more efficiently please do share.

Answer 1

The key to solving this is to nest JPanels , each using its own layout, thereby allowing you to effectively nest layouts:

• Place a JPanel in the BorderLayout.CENTER position
• Give the JPanel a GridLayout , one allowing multiple rows and one column, eg, new GridLayout(0, 1)
• Add your JTextField s to the JPanel

Another approach is to simply use a JTable, one with a single column and multiple rows.

Another approach -- if you're trying to gain input from a user in a JLabel/JTextField grid -- is to use GridBagLayout to space the components nicely together
