SplitPane

[Dean]

How can I get the split panes to reduce in size. It will reduce to a point
and then I can not move it any more. Is this minimum width hardcoded somewhere
that I can get to and change it? Or is it the blackbox beyond my control?
Thanks

Are you asking about moving the divider, or resizing the frame that contains
the JSplitPane? In any case, here's an excerpt from the API documentation
for JSplitPane (which also contains a link to a tutorial about using
JSplitPanes):
[start quote]

When the user is resizing the Components the minimum size of the Components
is used to determine the maximum/minimum position the Components can be set
to. If the minimum size of the two components is greater than the size of
the split pane the divider will not allow you to resize it. To alter the
minimum size of a JComponent, see
JComponent.setMinimumSize(java.awt.Dimension).
