Applet JTextField Size Problem

Posted on 16th Feb 2014 07:03 pm by admin

Hello,

I recently started making an applet to calculate certain values for airplanes. However, Gui has proved to be a problem. The JFormattedTextFields I am using have worked perfectly fine until I discovered this problem. Basically, when you enter numbers into the text boxes and then re size the browser or window, when run from my IDE, they change size based on how much space the number takes up. This messes up the layout and is quite annoying. My only suspicion is that resizing the window calls some event that updates their sizes..though why they change size I do not know. I am using box layout.

I would post the images, but I do not have enough posts yet, this being my first so those links should do.

Normal default layout on start of applet:

Resized layout with input:

This is the code:
