Hi to everyone,

what i want ro achieve is to build an array of labels and textfields.
I want the array to have 6 columns and a variable number of rows depending on
the number of components(labels and textfields) provided.

I want my array to be displayed as follows:

label1-textfield1 - label2-textfield2 - label3-textfield3
label4-textfield4 - label5-textfield5 - label6-textfield6
label7-textfield7 - label8-textfield8 - label9-textfield9

and so on...

I tried something like the following but it doesn't work when there are (i.e
8 elements ( 4 labels and 4 textfields))
================================================== =============================
       int rows=1;
        int cols=6;

        int elements=2*currentNodes;

        if (elements<=6){
          rows =1;
          cols=elements;

        }
        else if (elements>=7)
     {

         while (elements>=7)
        {
           elements = elements-6;
           rows++;
        }
      }

        Panel nodeSuppliesPanel = new Panel(new GridLayout(rows,6,2,2));


       for (int i=0;i<currentNodes;i++)
        {
            nodeSuppliesLabels[i]=new Label("b("+(i+1)+")",Label.CENTER);
             nodeSuppliesPanel.add(nodeSuppliesLabels[i]);
             nodeSuppliesTextFields[i]=new TextField();
             nodeSuppliesTextFields[i].setText(String.valueOf(nodeSupplies[i]));
             nodeSuppliesPanel.add(nodeSuppliesTextFields[i]);

         }// end for
================================================== ==================

thanasis,

I recommend placing the labels and textfields inside a panel, and then place the panel inside the component that's using the GridLayout.

You can set the rows dynamically using the setRows( int rows ) method of the GridLayout manager. for that you'll need a reference the Gridlayout outside of your panel constructor.

Hope this helps

thanks

many thanks
