How to add components from the top of the JPanel using GridBagLayout?

Hi ALl,

How to add components from the top of the JPanel using GridBagLayout?

I hope by default it starts from the centre.

Here is my code.


JPanel panel = new JPanel();
GridBagLayout gbl = new GridBagLayout();
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
panel.setLayout(gbl);
priceButton = new JButton();
panel.add(priceButton);

I tried diff options but it didnt work.

Thanks in advance.

Can you explain your question further? Do you want to add your components
in North side or do you want to pile up your components one by one ?

I want to add my components in the North side.

frame.getContentPane().add(panel, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
 

.

Did you try the above in your code?

Hi,

Thanks for your erply. I am adding components to a JPanel. I don't have frame here. Is there any similar method which can be applied to JPanel and get the same things done on a JPanel?

Thanks,

In your code

JPanel panel = new JPanel();
GridBagLayout gbl = new GridBagLayout();
GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
panel.setLayout(gbl);
priceButton = new JButton();
panel.add(priceButton);
 

why do you use GridBagLayout? Use borderlayout

JPanel panel = new JPanel();
BorderLayout layout = new BorderLayout();
panel.setLayout(layout);
priceButton = new JButton();
panel.add(priceButton, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);

Hi,

I started with gridBagLayout as I have to add many more components to the same panel.

So can I solve this problem using GridBagLayout itself?

Please advice.

You would get better solution if you give us the clear requirement.
