Hi,

This program has the information I need it to have but instead of going down in a column it goes straight across. Can someone show me where to get the formatting for this kind of code? I tried different things to no avail. Thank you for this and all the other help I have received here at Daniweb.

Thank you,

Lynn Ortiz

If you are refering to you JFrame components you could use the gridBag layout to show them like a column.

For example, i'll set diferent components inside a panel, an then add the panel to JFrame:

...
JPanel panel = new JPanel;
panel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
menuPanel.setBounds(0,0, 50, 200);

GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();

c.fill = GridBagConstraints.VERTICAL;
c.weightx = 0.5;

// A column of three levels
c.gridwidth = 1;
c.gridheight = 3;

// Three JButtons

b1 = new JButton("one");
b1.setBounds(0, 0, 50, 30);

b2 = new JButton("two");
b2.setBounds(0, 0, 50, 30);

b3 = new JButton("three");
b3.setBounds(0, 0, 50, 30);

// Grid Bag Layout is like a matrix
// Placing the buttons

c.gridx = 0;
c.gridy = 0;
panel.add(b1,c);

c.gridx = 0;
c.gridy = 1;
panel.add(b3,c);

c.gridx = 0;
c.gridy = 2;
panel.add(b3,c);
...
// And add the panel to the main Frame(or other component)

Anyway, you can find more detailed info on the web.

Hi,

Thank you. I cannot use JButtons but this helps regardless. I appreciate it.

Let me check: you have multiple products each with multiple attributes.
You want to display one line per product, with the attributes in aligned columns.
Is that right?
If so, use a JTable.

Hi,

That's it and thanks I will look into it.

Thank you,
