GridBagConstraints anchor issue

[Joris Bleys]

Hello everyone,

I've got a little problem getting my GUI as I want.
This is the code I got, but fieldSeperatorLabel isn't at the
rightmost of its cell. It is in the West-side.

JPanel generalPanel = new JPanel();
generalPanel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
generalPanel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder(this.general));
GridBagConstraints constraints = new GridBagConstraints();
constraints.ipadx = 4;

constraints.gridx = 0;
constraints.gridy = 0;
generalPanel.add(filenameLabel, constraints);
constraints.gridx = 4;
constraints.gridy = 0;
generalPanel.add(this.browseButton, constraints);
constraints.gridx = 0;
constraints.gridy = 1;
generalPanel.add(recordSeperatorLabel,constraints);
constraints.gridx = 1;
constraints.gridy = 1;
generalPanel.add(this.recordSeperatorField, constraints);
constraints.gridx = 2;
constraints.gridy = 1;
constraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.EAST;
generalPanel.add(fieldSeperatorLabel, constraints);
constraints.gridx = 3;
constraints.gridy = 1;
constraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.CENTER;
generalPanel.add(this.fieldSeperatorField, constraints);
constraints.gridx = 1;
constraints.gridy = 0;
constraints.gridwidth = 3;
generalPanel.add(this.filenameField, constraints);

Any ideas where I'm getting it wrong ?

Thx in advance,

Joris

Have a look at the setHorizontalAlignment(int) method.

Dan.

Ok, I tried the method you suggested, but the problem seemed to be the
JTextField next to it was centered in its own field, so putting an anchor
on that field to the West solved it.

Thank you very much for your advice
