Re: GridBagLayout and changing constraints objects.

Say I have the following code:

JPanel myPanel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints constaints = getConstraints();

What class does the method getConstraints() belong to?

myPanel.add(new JLabel("Hello world"), constaints);

And then later (as a result of an Event), I do something like
constraints.gridx = 3;
myPanel.revalidate();

Will this have the expected effect, or do I need to remove the old
label, and re-add it with the new constraints?


No. You will have to re-add it.
