Re: FlowLayout and lightweight IDEs

Hi All,

This Q is about using a FlowLayout. The lineup of labels and
textfields should be made in two horizontal rows by the size given in
the program. I tested this with 3 lightweight IDE's All use the same
jdk1.5.0_12.

With two of them, on a initial run, show no labels and textfields
items but the frame is in the correct size. If I open the screen to
the full width using the icon , all items are visible. If I then
click the icon to diminished size, using top of the frame menu bar,
all the items are there and in the intended line up. The third IDE
opens the program and right away everything is there in the correct
size and placement. Is the problem in the IDE's? Can the two that show
nothing on the initial run have a line of code added to make it appear
correct without resizing the screen manually from the app menu frame?

TIA
