FlowLayout

admin



FlowLayout In Web Dynpro, a FlowLayout is a container layout that arranges the UI elements on the screen from left to right in a flow and wraps UI elements, if necessary. UI elements within a FlowLayout are automatically wrapped if the horizontal screen space is too small for the display in one line. The flow layout is the default layout manager for all Panel objects and applets. It places the panel components in rows according to the width of the panel and the number and size of the components. This code shows how to create a Java FlowLayout that flows left and has horizontal spacing of ten pixels and vertical spacing of five pixels. FlowLayout flowLayout = new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT, 10, 5); jPanel.setLayout(flowLayout).

FlowLayout is the simplest layout in Java Swing layouts. The FlowLayout places components from left to right in a row using preferred component sizes until no space is available in the container. When no space is available, a new row is started. The placement of the component depends on the size of the container, therefore, you cannot guarantee which row the component is placed.

The FlowLayout is useful as a pad for a single component to make sure that the component will be placed at the center area of a container. Notice that FlowLayout is default layout of JPanel container.

Here is the screenshot of FlowLayout demo application:

Flowlayout Examples

FlowLayout puts components in a row,sized at their preferred size.If the horizontal space in the containeris too small to put all the components in one row,FlowLayout uses multiple rows.If the container is wider than necessary for a row of components,the row is, by default, centered horizontally within the container.You can specify that it stick to the left or right side insteadby using a FlowLayout constructorthat takes an alignment argument.You can also specify how much vertical or horizontal paddingis put around the components.
