I’m trying to convert a form which I currently have in C# to Java, utilising layout managers. And it’s turning out to be a nightmare.
I’ve tried setting the sizes of the components, however no difference is present. Also, I cannot get the labels and textboxes to move closer to each other.
For all of the buttons and text fields, just put then in a Panel that has nothing but that one item in it. That will prevent the button/textfield from filling the entire space in the layout.
Other than that the only thing it seems you need to do is put a bit of a margin around the whole thing so that your items aren’t right up against the edges of the window.
