Topic: Layout for keypad

[Major_Small]

what kind of layout(s) would you use for a keypad?

by keypad, I mean:

Code: [Select]

+---+---+---+---+
|   | / | * | - |
+---+---+---+---+
| 7 | 8 | 9 | + |
+---+---+---+   |
| 4 | 5 | 6 |   |
+---+---+---+---+
| 1 | 2 | 3 | = |
+---+---+---|   |
| 0     | . |   |
+-------+---+---+of course, all buttons (even the blank one normally used for numlock)

I'm not quite sure what you're asking?  Why would I use a different layout than that one?

[Major_Small]

as in I want to throw that into a JPanel... what layouts meaning like a GridLayout, BorderLayout, FlowLayout, etc. to put the buttons in those positions...

for example, this is what I have so far:



but that's just using the GridLayout... and I'm having trouble figuring out how to get the +, =, and 0 keys right...

Try the GridBagLayout.
