Gidbag Question

[zardos]

hello, am tying to get this effect


Using a gridBagLayout, but i cant get the textFiled to be longer then the Label?

pane.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
	GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
	c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
	
	label = new JLabel("Label 1");
	c.gridx = 0;
	c.gridy = 0;
	pane.add(label, c);
	
	

    input = new JTextField("");
    c.weighty = 1.0;
	c.gridwidth = 3;   //3 columns wide
	c.gridx = 1;
	c.gridy = 0;
	input.setSize(40,input.getHeight());
	pane.add(input, c);

I knew am a complete noob, and cant find anny tutorials for doing this, but if i can figure out how to only do this i think am golden, all workes well if i add 3 tabels ontop, but i dont want that :/

Thanks!

Use weightx, not gridwidth. And construct your JTextFields with an int columnsize.
