The following example illustrates setting divider size and resize weight that allows you to position split pane at center or where ever you want. Here are prototypes of the methods..
// Set divider size
public void setDividerSize(int size)
// Throws IllegalArgumentException if weight doesn't conform to below rule
public void setResizeWeight(double weight) // 0<=weight<=1
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
class JSplitPaneExample extends JFrame
{
JSplitPane js;
JPanel p1,p2;
public JSplitPaneExample()
{
createAndShowGUI();
}
private void createAndShowGUI()
{
setTitle("JSplitPane Example");
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
// Create panels
p1=new JPanel();
p1.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
p2=new JPanel();
p2.setBackground(Color.BLACK);
// Add JSplitPane
js=new JSplitPane(JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT,p1,p2);
// Add divider size, weight
js.setDividerSize(20);
js.setResizeWeight(0.5);
add(js);
setSize(400,400);
setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String args[])
{
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
public void run()
{
new JSplitPaneExample();
}
});
}
}
The greatest compliment you can give me is when you share this with others. I sincerely appreciate it :)
