GridBagLayout

[Maiquel knechtel]

Hello everybody,

I would like to position the JLabel JList side but with a space between them

tracking code

package teste;



/*
 * GridBagLayoutDemo.java requires no other files.
 */

import java.awt.*;

import javax.swing.DefaultListModel;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JList;

public class GridBagLayoutDemo {
    final static boolean shouldFill = true;
    final static boolean shouldWeightX = true;
    final static boolean RIGHT_TO_LEFT = false;

    public static void addComponentsToPane(Container pane) {
        if (RIGHT_TO_LEFT) {
            pane.setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);
        }

        JButton button;
	pane.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
	GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
	if (shouldFill) {
	//natural height, maximum width
	c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
	}
	DefaultListModel listModel = new DefaultListModel();
	listModel.addElement("Jane Doe");
	listModel.addElement("John Smith");
	listModel.addElement("Kathy Green");


	
	JList jlist = new JList(listModel);
	
	
	c.ipady = 200;
	c.ipadx = 20;
	
	c.gridx = 40;
	c.gridy = 100;
	pane.add(jlist, c);

	JLabel label = new JLabel("Origem");
	
	c.ipady = 10;
	c.ipadx = 280;
	
	c.gridx = 60;
	c.gridy = 60;
	
	pane.add(label, c);


	
    }

    /**
     * Create the GUI and show it.  For thread safety,
     * this method should be invoked from the
     * event-dispatching thread.
     */
    private static void createAndShowGUI() {
        //Create and set up the window.
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("GridBagLayoutDemo");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        //Set up the content pane.
        addComponentsToPane(frame.getContentPane());

        //Display the window.
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread:
        //creating and showing this application's GUI.
        javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
            public void run() {
                createAndShowGUI();
            }
        });
    }
}

Did you go through How to Use GridBagLayout first? There is an example with exactly what you're looking for (applied to buttons).
