Designing layouts with layout managers Layout managers give
Designing layouts with layout managers Layout managers give you the following advantages: Correctly positioned components that are independent of fonts, screen resolutions, and platform differences. Intelligent component placement for containers that are dynamically resized at runtime. Ease of translation with different sized strings. If a string increases in size, the components stay properly aligned. JBuilder provides the following layout managers from Java AWT and Swing: BorderLayout FlowLayout GridLayout CardLayout GridBagLayout Null JBuilder Professional and Enterprise also provide these custom layouts: XYLayout, which keeps components you put in a container at their original size and location (x,y coordinates) PaneLayout, used to divide a container into multiple panes VerticalFlowLayout, which is very similar to FlowLayout except that it arranges the components vertically instead of horizontally BoxLayout2, a bean wrapper class for Swing s BoxLayout, which allows it to be selected as a layout in the Inpsector OverlayLayout2, a bean wrapper class for Swing s OverlayLayout, which allows it to be selected as a layout in the Inspector You can create custom layouts of your own, or experiment with other layouts such as those in the java.awt classes, new or third-party layout managers. Many of these are public domain on the Web or accessible to members of the Open Source community. If you want to use a custom layout in the UI designer, you may have to provide a Java helper class file to help the UI designer use the layout. Most UI designs use a combination of layouts, nesting different layout panels within each other.
