JideBoxLayout and Vertical Alignment

[tolask]

Dear All,

I have the following problem.
I add 3 components to an horizontal JideBoxLayout. The first component has the vertical alignment set to TOP... but it's still center-aligned in the panel...
Anybody can confirm this ?

I tried in JideBoxLayoutDemo by setting

button.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.TOP)

to the buttons in that demo. It seems aligned on top correctly. Maybe you try to replace it with BoxLayout just to verify if it is JideBoxLayout problem, or see if you reproduce it in JideBoxLayoutDemo.

Thanks,

You are absolutely right. If I use setVerticalAlignment() it works like a charm.
Actually, I used setAlignmentX() which is available in JComponent (setVerticalAlignment is not, it's only available for some subclasses).
Perhaps the JideBoxLayout should have a look in this property as well.

My 2 cents,

JideBoxLayout should have nothing to do either properties. Does your code work with BoxLayout?

Thanks,
