VE1.0M1 problems with GridBagLayout [message #39009] Wed, 26 May 2004 16:20 Go to next message
Eclipse UserFriend
I have just installed VE1.0M1. I defined a panel with a GridBagLayout and
placed a Swing Component on that panel. Now I'm wondering why for that
Swing component the constraint can't be changed on the properties tab. Is
this a bug?

Are you expanding the contstraint property on the Properties view?
Which particular constraint field can't you set?

You might also want to look at the Customize Layout window for easier
manipulation of a component's constraints.

Er, whoops, it's still called the Alignment Window in M1, not Customize

Hi Jeff,
yes, I tried to expand the constraint property on the Properties view by
clicking on the +, but it was not expanded. I wanted to change the fill,
the weightx and weighty property but was not allowed to do it. What's
wrong, any idea?

Let me guess, you're running Eclipse on Linux GTK? The +/- buttons on
the property sheet don't work due to a nasty SWT/GTK bug:
https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=38855

Unfortunately until it's fixed, you'll need to edit the weights from the
source. The fill property can be changed in the alignment dialog.

Please consider adding a comment to that bugzilla bug, stating your OS
version and gtk level, so we'll have one more voice stating that it
doesn't work for them.

Hi Jeff,
great guess! You're absolutely right. I'm using Linux GTK.
Although my problem is not fixed, I will add a comment to the bugzilla bug
you've mentioned.
thanks,
exquisitus

Actually there's a keyboard shortcut available. Select the constraint
property on the property sheet, and press "Shift +" This will expand the
property sheet item. Pressing the "-" key will collapse the item.

Are you expanding the contstraint property on the Properties view?
Which particular constraint field can't you set?

You might also want to look at the Customize Layout window for easier
