Question

Using vertical splitter in Java Swing GUI?

Answer 1

+7 A:

You want a JSplitPane:

JSplitPane is used to divide two (and only two) Components. The two Components are graphically divided based on the look and feel implementation, and the two Components can then be interactively resized by the user.

When I drag the JSplitPane from the "Palette Window" of Netbeans, two button appears (named as leftbutton and rightbutton) and when I put them onto a panel they remains same... ????

And when we drag the boundary between those two buttons, then the desired result occurs for those two buttons. I want the same result for two panels...

Then put panels in there. I only used Netbeans for like 5 minutes before deciding that Swing is painful to write by hand but even worse with a visual designer, so I have no idea why it puts *buttons* there of all things. But you should easily be able to replace them with panels.

could you please look at one more problem at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/2070428/org-jdesktop-application-package-doesnt-exist

I could but I have no idea on that one. Having hacked together a few Swing GUIs doesn't exactly qualify me to know about Netbeans or Java compilation problems :-)

Those "buttons" are really just place holders for you to put something in. For example, you can drag a JPanel onto each button. If you have the Inspector window open in the lower left corner of the IDE, you can see the items actually contained in the JSplitPane.
