Hi!
It is shown on
https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/spring.html#alternatives
that
layout.putConstraint(
SpringLayout.WEST, label,
5,
SpringLayout.WEST, contentPane);
is equivalent to
SpringLayout.Constraints contentPaneCons = layout.getConstraints(contentPane);
contentPaneCons.setX(
Spring.sum(
Spring.constant(5),
contentPaneCons.getConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST)
));
IMO, setting the X of a container from within the container will have no effect
because the one who will set the container's X will be the layout manager of
its parent container. Therefore, I think the correct one is:
SpringLayout.Constraints labelCons = layout.getConstraints(label);
labelCons.setX(
Spring.sum(
Spring.constant(5),
labelCons.getConstraint(SpringLayout.WEST)
));
What do you guys think?
Thank you.
