Description
I'd like to suggest improving the layout manager for JSplitPane, which
are really defined in the L&F. If I have a frame window containing a
JSplitPane and I make the window larger, it always resizes the
right-hand component. In my application I'd like to have it make the
left hand component larger. There is currently no way to define that.

EVALUATION ralph.kar@Eng 1998-06-16 That is right. JSplitPane has no way to specify were additional space is to be distributed. To add this feature would require an API addition. scott.violet 1999-03-23 The bound property resizeWeight has been added to support this. The default value is 0, which gives the current behavior. When the size of the splitpane changes, the left/top component gets resizeWeight * delta new space, with the bottom/right getting (1 - resizeWeigth) * delta space.

WORK AROUND ralph.kar@Eng 1998-06-16 As a possible workaround you could attach a ComponentListener to your JSplitPane and track the resizing events. From there you could use setDividerLocation() in order to give additional space to whatever component you prefer.

PUBLIC COMMENTS JSplitPane gives additional space only to right/bottom component and therefore needs a way to specify which component (left/top, right/bottom) gets additional space. scott.violet 1999-03-23 The bound property resizeWeight has been added to support this. The default value is 0, which gives the current behavior. When the size of the splitpane changes, the left/top component gets resizeWeight * delta new space, with the bottom/right getting (1 - resizeWeigth) * delta space.
