JPanels

Posted by Eric Lynch on October 26, 2000 at 12:00 PM

Instead of using multiple JPanels (one for each line on your form), try using one JPanel and use the grid layout manager. That way you have a grid 'cell' for as many lines on your form as you want. Layout managers can be difficult, but it beats having a separate panel for each line, I think.
