Class GroupLayout.SequentialGroup

Enclosing class:
GroupLayout
public class GroupLayout.SequentialGroup
extends GroupLayout.Group

A Group that positions and sizes its elements sequentially, one after another. This class has no public constructor, use the createSequentialGroup method to create one.

In order to align a SequentialGroup along the baseline of a baseline aligned ParallelGroup you need to specify which of the elements of the SequentialGroup is used to determine the baseline. The element used to calculate the baseline is specified using one of the add methods that take a boolean. The last element added with a value of true for useAsBaseline is used to calculate the baseline.

Since:
1.6

addPreferredGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addPreferredGap(LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement type)

Adds an element representing the preferred gap between the nearest components. During layout, neighboring components are found, and the size of the added gap is set based on the preferred gap between the components. If no neighboring components are found the gap has a size of 0.

The element created to represent the gap is not resizable.

Parameters:
type - the type of gap; one of LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.RELATED or LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.UNRELATED
Returns:
this SequentialGroup
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if type is not one of LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.RELATED or LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.UNRELATED

LayoutStyle

addPreferredGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addPreferredGap(LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement type,
                                                   int pref,
                                                   int max)

Adds an element representing the preferred gap between the nearest components. During layout, neighboring components are found, and the minimum of this gap is set based on the size of the preferred gap between the neighboring components. If no neighboring components are found the minimum size is set to 0.

Parameters:
type - the type of gap; one of LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.RELATED or LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.UNRELATED
pref - the preferred size of the grap; one of DEFAULT_SIZE or a value >= 0
max - the maximum size of the gap; one of DEFAULT_SIZE, PREFERRED_SIZE or a value >= 0
Returns:
this SequentialGroup
Throws:
IllegalArgumentException - if type is not one of LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.RELATED or LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.UNRELATED

LayoutStyle

addContainerGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addContainerGap()

Adds an element representing the preferred gap between an edge the container and components that touch the border of the container. This has no effect if the added gap does not touch an edge of the parent container.

The element created to represent the gap is not resizable.

Returns:
this SequentialGroup

addContainerGap

public GroupLayout.SequentialGroup addContainerGap(int pref,
                                                   int max)

Adds an element representing the preferred gap between one edge of the container and the next or previous Component with the specified size. This has no effect if the next or previous element is not a Component and does not touch one edge of the parent container.

Parameters:
pref - the preferred size; one of DEFAULT_SIZE or a value >= 0
max - the maximum size; one of DEFAULT_SIZE, PREFERRED_SIZE or a value >= 0
