Re: How to align swing buttons vertically ?

That's nothing to do with the layout. It aligns the objects you're laying

JButton inherits size setting methods (setMaximumSize, setMinimumSize,
setPreferredSize) from JComponent. Use them to control button size.
Perhaps I have not understand, but with the following code, buttons are
not well aligned:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class TestViewer {
public static void main(String[] args) {
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
JFrame frame = new ViewerFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(800, 600);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
class ViewerFrame extends JFrame {
public ViewerFrame() {
getContentPane().add(new JPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
getContentPane().add(createBtnPanel(), BorderLayout.EAST);
}
private JPanel createBtnPanel() {
JPanel btnPanel = new JPanel();
btnPanel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(btnPanel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));
btnPanel.add(new JButton("Button 1"));
btnPanel.add(new JButton("Button 2"));
btnPanel.add(new JButton("Long Button 3"));
btnPanel.add(new JButton("Button 4"));
btnPanel.add(new JButton("Button 5"));
return btnPanel;
}
}
