[JGB-general] Questions about GridBagLayout

[Ramon W. <ra...@nc...>]

Hello.

I am trying out JGB by trying to create a Book Store GUI with Title, 
Author,
ISBN, and Publisher textfields with labels using the GridBagLayout.  I have
written a Java applet that looks like what I want, so I just plugged in the
constraints from that applet into the XML for JGB.  Instead of getting:

Title  ____________________________
Author ____________________________
ISBN ______________________________
Publisher _________________________

I get

Title
________________________________ Author
________________________________ ISBN
________________________________ Publisher
________________________________

I have pounded and pounded this, and still get same results.

Any help would be appreciated.


Here is the XML:

            </parameter>
            <parameter name="height">
                <value type="int" data="400"/>
