Handle Resizing of Swing Containers

[simlei]

Hello,
I hope you know the answer to my beginner question -- I have a JButton, which has an Image drawn to it. Now I tried to apply a Layout to this Button and the whole rest of my formular, and this works fairly good. The Button is resizing when I resize the Window. But I wish to make the Image on the Button smaller, when the Button shrinks, and bigger, when the button gets bigger. Is there any possibility to do this without too much hassle? Is there an autofit setting, or another way to get notified anytime the button gets resized?
When there is such a notification: How do I get the size the button is tried to be resized to? Just with getSize()?
And talking about "best practice" -- yea, what would the best practice be here?

I hope this question doesn't annoy you too much; I am a total GUI beginner :/
Thank you very much!

Simon L.

Yup, both JavaRanch and we have a policy regarding cross-posting. It's always a good policy to read the FAQ's before posting. For instance: BeForthrightWhenCrossPostingToOtherSites

I'm sorry, I didn't know this is discouraged. Do you have an answer for me, though?

so, common scenario -
someone tries to help you in your unanswered post
your post in another forum was answered (possibly) hours earlier
the 'someone' has had their time totally wasted

and you're happy with the above!

> Do you have an answer for me, though?

I posted the answer at javaranch (then deleted it when I saw the cross-post here)
my time is unimportant to you, therefore you getting a solution is unimportant to me

I, personally, wouldn't mind, if i would be the answer-giver. In real world, you ask multiple Persons about things, too, and dont waste your breath listing every single person you spoke with about your problem.

So, intuitively, I knever would have come to the idea, that such a rule exists.

And thanks for the help. I'm happy to waste even MORE of your time, because you seem to have big piles of it, reading this now. Searching crossposts. Thats not really the way to have a happy time -_-
