Custom JPanels inside another JPanel.

[pek]

So I have this JPanel that I add a scroll pane to make it scrollable.
I created a class that is a subclass of JPanel, lets call it
CustomPanel. CustomPanel basically has some labels, buttons etc. What
I do is add a CustomPanel to the JPanel. What I want is that
CustomPanel should have the width of JPanel but it's own height. That
way JPanel ultimately is contains a list of CustomPanels. What the
problem is that I tried to use BoxLayout and GridLayout. Let's say
that JPanel's height is 4 times the CustomPanel's one. If I add one
CustomPanel, that will expand and use all of JPanels area. If I add
more that 5 the CustomPanels are correctly added with the correct
size. So, I can't figure out what Layout Manager to use.

Any help?
Thank you.

Try a FlowLayout with a vertical direction.

Try a FlowLayout with a vertical direction.

Can you write me the code? Cause I cannot find where to change the
direction. The is no .setOrientation on either FlowLayout nor JPanel.
I am using java 1.6 if this helps.

(shrugs) He* probably can. How much were you offering?

* I could not understand what you posted, but Joshua
seemed to.

I looked for what he said and it seemed that it doesn't exist. I
wouldn't asked him to write anything if I didn't search first. After
all, I bet it's probably 3 lines of code that he knows and doesn't
need to search since he is so sure what I should do...

I'd create a small simple example

and post it here.

My bad. After not understanding the description, I failed
to carefullly read the reply, either.

Perhaps Joshua meant a BoxLayout with a Y_AXIS constraint.
<http://java.sun.com/javase/6/docs/api/javax/swing/BoxLayout.html#Y_AXIS>

But then, see 'still do not understand the question' and
that leads me to suggest that Roedy's post might contain
the path to the solution for this challenge. ;-)
