Java, putting JTabbedPane content in center of page.

[l11h]

Hi,

i am new to Java programming. This is what i have done, i have created 5 separate classes, 4 of them are GUI's and one final class which combines all of them.

the one that collects all other GUI's is the JTabbedPane class, this class basically has classname name = new classname(); and then tab.add("name", name); and then showing the class making it visible.

The problem is the JTabbedPane window has all content at top, i want the content in the middle of the page.

I have tried adding BoxLayout and GridBagLayout, but what these do is put the tab in the middle but there is A LOT of white space, the tabs dont re-size themselves with the frame window.

I would appreciate all help on how i can get the GUI's in the middle of the JTabbedPane.

ty 🙂 .

The component for the frame you are adding the JTabbedPane to should be given a BorderLayout and then you add the JTabbedPane to the Centre. Then it will expand to fit the whole component as you are expecting.
