JPanel Border

[fatcodeguy]

Hi, I have a JPanel (jp1) with a titled border that I'm adding to another JPanel (jp2). Within jp1 there are text areas that change values, so jp1 keeps expanding and contracting depending on the values... I want the panel (or at least the border) to stay at a fixed size... I'm using gridbag layout for both panels. Any suggestions?

Thanks

It depends on the layout of the container(jp2) which contains jp1. I am assuming you are using GridBagLayout for jp1. What layout are you using for jp2? if you have nothing else in jp2 I would recommend a BorderLayout, and constrain jp1 to the CENTER. If you are using something else because you have some other components with jp2 in it's container, please let me know what layout it has. Better yet post the code for it, or some simplified sample code that mimics your code with the issue.

Let me know...
