This is a feature of JBuilder Professional and Enterprise.
In a PaneLayout
, the placement and size of each component is specified relative to the components that have already been added to the container. Each component specifies a PaneConstraints
object that tells the layout manager from which component to take space, and how much of its existing space to take. You use the PaneLayout Constraints property editor to modify this information for each component.
PaneConstraints
object is applied to the container as it existed at the time the component was added to the container. The order in which you add the components to the container is very important.
You can access the PaneLayout Constraints property editor from two places:
constraints
property in the Inspector.
For more detailed information on PaneLayout
and its constraints, see the "" topic in Building Applications with JBuilder.
PaneConstraints
component that is being added to a container consists of four variables:
name
property in the Inspector.
splitComponentName
to which this component will be anchored. Valid values are:
Top | This component will be above the split component. | |
Bottom | This component will be below the split component. | |
Right | This component will be to the right of the split component. | |
Left | This component will be to the left of the split component. | |
Root | This component is the first component added to the container. |
