Hi,

I'd like to hide a JTextField from the GUI so that the layout doesn't
"see it" anymore ? I tried, setVisible(false) but it leaves an empty
space on the layout as if the component was still there.

Is there an easy way to achieve this ?

Use a different layout manager. Some layout managers will collapse invisible components.

Have you tried resetting the components minimum,maximum,preferred sizes?

Have you called the container's pack()?

Which layout manager are you using?

Have you read http://sscce.org/ ?
