Custom Row Example:
public JComponent buildPanel() { initComponents(); FormLayout layout = new FormLayout( "right:pref, 3dlu, default:grow", ""); DefaultFormBuilder builder = new DefaultFormBuilder(layout); builder.setDefaultDialogBorder(); builder.setRowGroupingEnabled(true); CellConstraints cc = new CellConstraints(); // In this approach, we add a gap and a custom row. // The advantage of this approach is, that we can express // the row spec and comment area cell constraints freely. // The disadvantage is the misalignment of the leading label. // Also the row's height may be inconsistent with other rows. builder.appendSeparator("Single Custom Row"); builder.append("Name", name1Field); builder.appendRow(builder.getLineGapSpec()); builder.appendRow(new RowSpec("top:31dlu")); // Assumes line is 14, gap is 3 builder.nextLine(2); builder.append("Comment"); builder.add(new JScrollPane(comment1Area), cc.xy(builder.getColumn(), builder.getRow(), "fill, fill")); builder.nextLine(); // In this approach, we append a standard row with gap before it. // The advantage is, that the leading label is aligned well. // The disadvantage is that the comment area now spans // multiple cells and is slightly less flexible. // Also the row's height may be inconsistent with other rows. builder.appendSeparator("Standard + Custom Row"); builder.append("Name", name2Field); builder.append("Comment"); builder.appendRow(new RowSpec("17dlu")); // Assumes line is 14, gap is 3 builder.add(new JScrollPane(comment2Area), cc.xywh(builder.getColumn(), builder.getRow(), 1, 2)); builder.nextLine(2); // In this approach, we append two standard rows with associated gaps. // The advantage is, that the leading label is aligned well, // and the height is consistent with other rows. // The disadvantage is that the comment area now spans // multiple cells and is slightly less flexible. builder.appendSeparator("Two Standard Rows"); builder.append("Name", name3Field); builder.append("Comment"); builder.nextLine(); builder.append(""); builder.nextRow(-2); builder.add(new JScrollPane(comment3Area), cc.xywh(builder.getColumn(), builder.getRow(), 1, 3)); return builder.getPanel(); } TODO: Consider adding a method for appending a component that spans the remaining columns in the current row. Method name candidates are #appendFullSpan and #appendRemaining.
