Re: GridBagLayout and changing constraints objects.

Say I have the following code:

OK, I shall ...


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


Others have given the answer you were seeking. However I can't help noticing that the code you quoted can never have the expected effect since constaints != constraints :-)
