Trouble with JDialog

[Lynott]

Hi,

This is my first post here.

I am launching a dialog from a button (just calling launch in the code below) however the dialog does not show it self correctly. The this.pack() does not seem to be working as the button panel is not displayed, it is hidden until I manually resize the JDialog.

I was hoping somebody could help with this. Is there anyway I can get the dialog to show fully and exactly what has been added to it all horizontally across al a FlowLayout and not move anything onto the next line and out of sight?

Thanks in advance, L.


Here is the code:

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

import javax.swing.*;

import uk.co.futureroute.discovery.projectguibridge.*;

public class AddPredicateDialog extends JDialog{
PredicatePanelView predPanelView = null;
// Table model used
PredicateTableModel typeContentModel = null;
//JPanels used
JPanel addPredDisplayPanel = null;
JPanel containerPanel = null;
JPanel buttonPanel = null;
// JLabels
JLabel addPredNameLabel = new JLabel("");
JLabel dialogCloseBracketLabel = new JLabel(")");
// JComboBox
JComboBox listTypesComBox = new JComboBox();
// JButtons used
JButton okButton = new JButton("OK");
JButton cancelButton = new JButton("Cancel");

private boolean forEdit;



public AddPredicateDialog(ActionListener actList, PredicatePanelView predPanelView){
this.predPanelView = predPanelView;
init();
this.okButton.addActionListener(actList);
}


public void init(){

typeContentModel = predPanelView.projGuiBridge.getTypesTableModel();
addPredDisplayPanel = new JPanel();
buttonPanel = new JPanel();
containerPanel = new JPanel();
this.setContentPane(containerPanel);
this.setTitle("Predicate");
this.pack();
this.validate();
}



public void launch(int noOfComboBoxes){
containerPanel.removeAll();
containerPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout());
addPredDisplayPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT, 10, 10));
addPredDisplayPanel.removeAll();
addPredDisplayPanel.add(addPredNameLabel);
//dialogComboBoxList.clear();
for(int i = 0; i < noOfComboBoxes; i++){
if(i != 0){
addPredDisplayPanel.add(new JLabel(","));
}
JComboBox dialogArgsComboBox = new JComboBox();
dialogArgsComboBox.setBackground(Color.WHITE);
for(int c = 0; c < typeContentModel.getRowCount(); c++){
String type = typeContentModel.getValueAt(c, 0).toString();
dialogArgsComboBox.addItem(type);
}
addPredDisplayPanel.add(dialogArgsComboBox);
}
addPredDisplayPanel.add(dialogCloseBracketLabel);
buttonPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, 1));
buttonPanel.add(okButton);
buttonPanel.add(cancelButton);
addPredDisplayPanel.add(buttonPanel);
containerPanel.add(addPredDisplayPanel);

this.setVisible(true);
}



public void launch(Object[] selected){

this.setVisible(true);
}


public void removeDialog(){
this.setVisible(false);

}


public boolean wasForEdit() {
return this.forEdit;
}



}

Hi I have made a change which makes it a little bit better, but the combo boxes are going onto the second line now.

The thing is if I kill the dialog and relaunch it, it opens perfectly.

Any help would be great?

Updated code:
