    <p>I have overridden validate() in my JFrame so that I can manually control the size of a couple of nested JPanels (they're used in scrolling content onto the screen and no layout manager I know of lets you lay out components outside of the bounds of the parent container). This works fine when dragging the window to resize it, but when clicking the Maximize button, validate() gets called, the setPreferredSize()s get called, but the panel sizes don't update. Problem seen on XP, not seen in OSX.</p> <pre><code>public void validate() { super.validate(); LOGGER.debug("Validate called on Frame. Resizing panel"); if (inited == true) { Dimension size = panelLeft.getSize(); int referenceHeight = size.height; LOGGER.info("referenceHeight is " + referenceHeight); size = lower.getSize(); size.height = referenceHeight; lower.setPreferredSize(size); lower.setMinimumSize(size); size.height = size.height * 2; movingPanel.setPreferredSize(size); movingPanel.setMinimumSize(size); LOGGER.info("sizes now: panel: " + lower.getSize().height + ", scrollpane: " + movingPanel.getSize().height); if (panelSlideController != null) { panelSlideController.redraw(); LOGGER.debug("redrawing panel slide controller"); } } } </code></pre> <p>panelLeft is a panel which is auto-resized by its layout manager to be the full height of the frame. So its height is used as a reference.</p> <p>The relevant panels are arranged:</p> <pre><code> ---------------------------------- |scrollPane | | -------------------------------- | ||movingPanel || || ------------------------------ || |||upper ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| || ------------------------------ || || ------------------------------ || |||lower ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| ||| || ------------------------------ || | -------------------------------- | ---------------------------------- </code></pre> <p>The user only sees the top half of this layout. The movingPanel JPanel is in the viewport of a JScrollPane. The goal is to keep the upper panel taking up all the visible vertical space, so is roughly the same height as the enclosing JFrame. The lower panel is ready to scroll on and is kept with the same height as upper panel. By keeping lower.height == panelLeft.height and movingPanel.height == panelLeft.heightx2, it means half of movingPanel is showing, and upper ends at the bottom of the Frame.</p> <p>Like I said, works fine. When dragging the window, some example output is:</p> <pre><code>2013-06-20 23:15:41,298 [WT-EventQueue-0] DEBUG s.billing.ui.Form - Validate called on Frame. Resizing panel 2013-06-20 23:15:41,298 [WT-EventQueue-0] INFO s.billing.ui.Form - newheight is 617 2013-06-20 23:15:41,298 [WT-EventQueue-0] INFO s.billing.ui.Form - sizes now: panel: 607, scrollpane: 1214 2013-06-20 23:15:41,538 [WT-EventQueue-0] DEBUG s.billing.ui.Form - Validate called on Frame.

I moved the code out of validate() and instead it's run by clicking resize button.</p> <p>So you can se the red panel (lower) should <em>not</em> be visible until scroll is clicked, at which point yellow scrolls up while red scroll into view. And then back again in the opposite direction. To do this, I need the yellow panel taking up all the vertical height and if I can do this with a layout manager then yay.</p> <p>I've updated the original snippet and the 'diagram' to mirror the names used in here.</p> <p>Thanks</p>

    1. COWow, you are making your life way more harder than it can be with this kind of implementation. Overriding `validate()` does not seem like a right choice. Why don't you just set a proper `LayoutManager` or even implement your own? Btw, calling `setPreferredSize()` is always a bad idea and it does not guarantee the size your component will have (only LayoutManager can ensure that). I would recommend to post an [SSCCE](http://sscce.org) for more help.

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
