I am not sure how I could create a panel like this. I could have the main panel as a borderlayout and set the login screen panel to the page_end but then the forums and faqs also have to be on the page_end..... somehow the login screen panel and the forums and faqs panel has to share the page_end together. Is there someway I could do this or maybe some BETTER way? This has been confusing me for about 2 hours and I don't understand how I would do this.
Right now I have 3 panels and 1 frame. 1 is the main panel that is added to the main frame. The 2 other panels are the loginscreen panel and the forums and faqs panel. Here is the code.
private void createView() {
//Created essential details for the frame
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setTitle("Name of the game");
frame.setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//Defining layouts and panels + giving them layouts
JPanel pMain = new JPanel();
frame.getContentPane().add(pMain);
pMain.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JPanel pLogin = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
pMain.add(pLogin, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
JPanel pInfo = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
pMain.add(pInfo, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
Here is the component layout
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setTitle("Name of the game");
frame.setExtendedState(JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
// Defining layouts and panels + giving them layouts
JPanel pMain = new JPanel();
frame.getContentPane().add(pMain);
pMain.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
JPanel bottomComponentsPanel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
JPanel pLogin = new JPanel();
pLogin.setBackground(Color.ORANGE);
pLogin.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 100));
JPanel pInfo = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
pInfo.setBackground(Color.ORANGE);
pInfo.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(70, 70));
GridBagConstraints constraints = new GridBagConstraints();
constraints.anchor = GridBagConstraints.PAGE_END;
constraints.gridx = 0;
constraints.gridy = 0;
bottomComponentsPanel.add(pLogin, constraints);
constraints.gridx = 1;
constraints.gridy = 0;
bottomComponentsPanel.add(pInfo, constraints);
JPanel bottomPanel = new JPanel(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.RIGHT));
bottomPanel.add(bottomComponentsPanel);
pMain.add(bottomPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
frame.setVisible(true);
