[Java-gnome-developer] Table doesn't expand when the parent is resized

[Thura <thu...@gm...>]

I am writing a simple dialog. The code is here.
http://pastebin.com/m3fae0ed3
The problem is when I resize the dialog, the table remain fixed, where it is
supposed to expand or fill.
Any clue ?

Heya,

I think this is the correct behavior seeing tables is being added to the
dialog without the ability to scale. I suggest using a VBox with nested
HBox's to achieve that which you want. I never used table so I am not sure
on its behavior in detail.

Another reason why I suggest you to use VBox instead is that I see that when
you scale the dialog the 'expander' gets to the middle of the open space.
Which is another scaling issue that can be avoided with the use of a VBox.

I hope this helps.

The problem is I want the first column of each row, the labels, to have the
same size  ...
How can I achieve this with nested vboxs and hboxs ?

Use a SizeGroup.
