Class FormLayout

java.lang.Object
  com.partnersoft.gui.DelegatingLayoutManager
      com.partnersoft.gui.FormLayout

All Implemented Interfaces:

java.awt.LayoutManager, java.awt.LayoutManager2

public class FormLayout
extends DelegatingLayoutManager

A layout for two-column forms.

It has the standard 2-column form layout, a column of labels and a column of controls, with the option of adding rows that span both columns.

This implementation uses GroupLayout, which has a couple of nice properties: the components are vertically aligned along their baseline, which makes the left-to-right flow look better, and they are spaced according to the look-and-feel defaults, which makes the form look more like a native form.

Field labels should be added, followed by fields, in label, field, label, field, order.
