I dont want that JList changed like that . Please help me . I want JList's size isn't changed .

[Michael Dunn]

if you want the JList to be left half of the frame, set the frame as a
gridlayout 1 row 2 colums, and add the scrollpane(containing the JList)
directly to the frame. it will then occupy the left half of whatever size
the frame is.

something like this

import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.event.*;
class Testing extends JFrame
{
  public Testing()
  {
    setLocation(200,100);
    setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    DefaultListModel listModel = new DefaultListModel();
    JList list = new JList(listModel);
    JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(list);
    getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2));
    JPanel top = new JPanel(new GridLayout(4,1));
    top.add(new JLabel("Word or Phrase to Search"));
    top.add(new JTextField("oregon"));
    JPanel btnPanel = new JPanel();
    btnPanel.add(new JButton("Search"));
    top.add(btnPanel);
    top.add(new JLabel("Search Results:"));
    JTextArea ta = new JTextArea();
    JScrollPane sp1 = new JScrollPane(ta);
    JPanel rightPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(3,1));
    rightPanel.add(top);
    rightPanel.add(sp1);
    getContentPane().add(sp);
    getContentPane().add(rightPanel);
    pack();
  }
  public static void main(String[] args){new Testing().setVisible(true);}
}

Hi Anh Vu

You only need to add one code, please see below:

-------------
jScrollPane1.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(150, 20)); //Note: The jScrollPane1 is the perent of the JList. Set its preferred width to be 150, or whatever you prefer.

I have tried many layouts and I have set "setPreferedSize()" to many components which are parent of JList . But now I still cant solve my problem .

[Michael Dunn]

perhaps you should post your code, just the GUI shell - enough to
demonstrate the problem.

Ok, I have solved my problem . Just "setPreferedSize()" . Thanks all .
