Thread: Java GUI help

Hi

Could anyone tell me what GUI components can i use to display student details in a grid cell? Lets say i wanted to put like

First name: studentName
Last name: studentLastName
DOB: studentDOB

So these three details to be placed in one grid cell and in another grid cell the same details just for different student and so on for a total of 8 students. The grid view is 2 rows and 4 columns. By the way i am taking the student info from a model already implemented.

Could you help me with this?

Appreciate any help. Thanks

There are several layout managers that build a grid. Their class names begin with Grid

Looks like you need to use a GridLayout. It's the easiest layout to use if you want a grid. To display the text, you can use JLabels or JTextAreas. I recommend JLabels as they are easier and look nicer for what you are trying to do here. Just add them one by one to your JPanel and the layout will align them correctly for you.
