    <p>I'm new here, and making my first steps in Java.</p> <p>I'm trying, for learning purposes, to create a simple GUI with a grid containing numbered buttons. Problem is, the buttons' text will not adjust itself to the buttons' size.</p> <p>let me first show you the code, so you'll see what I mean:</p> <pre><code>import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.GridLayout; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; public class SimpleGUI implements ActionListener { private JFrame frame; private JPanel grid; private JButton[] buttons; public SimpleGUI() { frame=new JFrame("Buttons grid"); frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); grid=new JPanel(); buttons=new JButton[100]; for (int i=0; i&lt;buttons.length; i++) { buttons[i]=new JButton(Integer.toString(i+1)); buttons[i].setActionCommand(Integer.toString(i+1)); grid.add(buttons[i]); buttons[i].addActionListener(this); } frame.getContentPane().add(grid); } public static void main(String[] args) { SimpleGUI gui=new SimpleGUI(); gui.go(); } public void go() { grid.setLayout(new GridLayout(10,10)); frame.setSize(500,500); frame.setVisible(true); } public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) { String buttonNum=e.getActionCommand(); System.out.println("You've pressed "+buttonNum); } } </code></pre> <p>I can't upload pictures, so you'd have to run this code to see the result. The thing is, the buttons are too small for the text to fit in, so instead of numbers, three dots will appear on them. (<strong>...</strong>) Only when I expand the window (and thus expanding the buttons' dimension accordingly), the numbers appear on the buttons properly. Is there a way to make the text adjust itself to the buttons' dimension so it'll always be visible?</p> <p>Thanks in advanced, and forgive my poor language (English is my second language).</p>

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.
