Right Alignment of JTextField

[dcusick]

Hey everyone! I'm just starting with Swing and actually am moving along pretty well.. I've gone forward and created a page using GridBagLayout. I've also created my own text field class, that extends JTextField. The field comes up fine, and works like it's supposed to, however, I can't place it correctly in my GridBagLayout... I cannot seem to right-justify the text box. If I add it in with no fill, it will be flushed to the left hand side of the allocated space. If I add horizontal fill, the text box fills the entire allocated space. I cannot get the text box to have right-alignment that is flushed against the right hand side of the allocated space. This code is in the constructor of my created class....

    setHorizontalAlignment(JTextField.RIGHT);
    setAlignmentY(JTextField.RIGHT_ALIGNMENT);
    setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT);

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!! Thanks in advance...

Doug

c.anchor = c.GridBagConstraints.EAST ;// c is your GridBagConstraints
// c.fill = GridBagConstraints.BOTH; incorrect setting for anchor
// c.fill = GridBagConstraints.VERTICAL; correct setting
// c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL; correct setting
setConstraints(yourcomponent, c);
add(yourComponent); // add your own jtextfield
c.anchor = GridBagConstraints.CENTER; //reset to default
Look at the page for anchor and values

first line should be
c.anchor = GridBagConstraints.EAST ;// c is your GridBagConstraints
