#3580 — Hiding a JTexfield from t

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
Hi,

I'd like to hide a JTextField from the GUI so that the layout doesn't
"see it" anymore ? I tried, setVisible(false) but it leaves an empty
space on the layout as if the component was still there.

Is there an easy way to achieve this ?

JGG

Use a different layout manager. Some layout managers will collapse 
invisible components.

Have you tried resetting the components minimum,maximum,preferred sizes?

Have you called the container's pack()?

Which layout manager are you using?

Have you read http://sscce.org/ ?

Yes, this describes exactly what happen with my layout manager.
TablLayout goes for the first solution by default but let the
programmer choose to go for the second one.

How are invisible elements treated?

   1. Do they act as if they weren=92t there at all? Do the other
elements move in to take over the vacated space? Is the visual effect
the same as removing them from the enclosing Container?
   2. Is there just a blank hole marking their place?

It depends on the LayoutManager you choose. LayoutManagers are free to
choose either strategy.
