Newbie question on JGoodies-FormLayout/DefaultFormBuilder...

[vijayender madura]

Hi,
Am new to Swing and Jgoodies... so need help with DefaultFormBuilder...

Am using the following piece of code:-

FormLayout layout = new FormLayout("15dlu, fill:200dlu:grow", "fill:pref:grow, pref, pref, pref");
DefaultFormBuilder builder = new DefaultFormBuilder(layout, new FormDebugPanel());
builder.nextColumn();
builder.append(createTemplateNamePanel()); //Note: the containing method returns a JPanel
//...
//..
//. ( some more stuff added using the builder instance)

I'm getting the output as attached... I dont want the gap that comes between the outer cell's border and the inner containing JPanel..
What must i do ?

Thanks in advance...

PS:Also this is my first post on Javaranch:-

Isn't that the 15dlu from your FormLayout? Or is that the block at the far left?

If it isn't the 15dlu, what are the insets of your template panel? What is its layout manager? How are components placed?

Hi,
No the 15 dlu-column is the 1st blank-column in my form...
but i found out where i was going wrong...
Never thought more questions could help answer my question... but thanks...

I used a default form builder to build my template panel which had the following statement in the createTemplateNamePanel() method...

builder.setDefaultDialogBorder();

i ignored this cos i never thought this would affect how this panel would be placed in the enclosing cell... but i guess thats how layouts work...

i commented the above statement and the gap is gone...

Glad I could help
