Question

I started using MiGLayout about a month and half ago and everything is simple and works great. There’s only one issue I still have that I haven’t been able to fix.

Let’s say I want to have a row that has two buttons on the right-most side and a centered title, the title doesn’t actually get centered when I do it this way:

(“this” is a JPanel)

this.add(labelTitle, "split, span, center");
this.add(closeButton, "east");
this.add(mainMenuButton, "east");   

What happens is that “labelTitle” is centered in the remaining space available after the buttons are placed, but I actually want it to be centered relative to the whole JPanel, not just the remaining space.

What parameters could I use to get the desired effect? I know I could use absolute positioning, but I don’t want to do that because it defeats the purpose of using MiGLayout in the first place in my case.

Can it be something like this you are looking for?

Cheers!

public static void main(String[] args)
{
    JFrame frame = new JFrame();

    JPanel panel = new JPanel(new MigLayout("debug"));
    panel.add(new JLabel("Label Title"), "x2 min(b1.x - unrel, (container.w+pref)/2)");
    panel.add(new JButton("Close Button"), "id b1, pushx, alignx right");
    panel.add(new JButton("Main Menu Button"), "alignx right");

    frame.add(panel);
    frame.setSize(800, 200);
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setVisible(true);
}
