  1. POWhat should I use instead of FlowLayout()?
    text
    copied!<p>So, my <code>JFrame</code> is not turning out the way I want it to, because of the <code>FlowLayout()</code> but I don't know what else to use to fix this. It just makes my <code>JButton</code> fill the entire <code>JFrame</code>. Is there a way I can get <code>FlowLayout()</code> to apply my custom sizes and location for the <code>JFrame</code> components, or is there an alternative that could easily replace it?</p> <p>Here is my code:</p> <pre><code>import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; public class MTGSAMPServerReference extends JFrame implements ActionListener { public static Toolkit tk = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit(); static int ScrnWidth = ((int) tk.getScreenSize().getWidth()); static int ScrnHeight = ((int) tk.getScreenSize().getHeight()); private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; private static JList list1; private static JButton next; public MTGSAMPServerReference() { // set flow layout for the frame this.getContentPane().setLayout(new FlowLayout()); Object[] data1 = { "Value 1", "Value 2", "Value 3", "Value 4", "Value 5" }; list1 = new JList&lt;Object&gt;(data1); next = new JButton("Next"); next.addActionListener(this); // add list to frame add(list1); add(next); } @Override public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { if (e.getActionCommand().equals("Next")) { int index = list1.getSelectedIndex(); System.out.println("Index Selected: " + index); String s = (String) list1.getSelectedValue(); System.out.println("Value Selected: " + s); } } private static void createAndShowGUI() { //Create and set up the window. JFrame f = new MTGSAMPServerReference(); //Display the window. f.pack(); f.setVisible(true); f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); f.setSize(1200, 800); f.setLocationRelativeTo(null); list1.setSize(250, 250); list1.setLocation(0, 0); next.setSize(75, 25); next.setLocation(251, 276); } public static void main(String[] args) { javax.swing.SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { createAndShowGUI(); } }); } } </code></pre> <p>Any ideas?</p> <p>Thanks in advance!</p> <p>EDIT: Here is a picture of the problem.</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/PxlGn.jpg" alt="This is the problem."></p> <p>EDIT: Here is what I want it to look like (approximately):</p> <p><img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/evMKT.jpg" alt="This is about what it should look like."></p>
