Converting a program from Swing to ULC, I notice a change of behavior, which
I hope you can give me some advise on.
I have included below a class that demonstrates the problem, followed by a
Swing class that is working as expected. Basically, the combobox in the
toolbar is being extended to the end. This happens by default in Swing, but
there a simple setMaximumSize of the preferred size sets the width to a
reasonable size. In ULC, this isn't working as it does in Swing. Can you
look at this, please, and offer any suggestions on how I might rework this
to get it working like Swing?
Thanks!

public class BugsFrameApp extends AbstractApplication {
public void start() {
new BugsFrame().setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
DevelopmentRunner.setApplicationClass(BugsFrameApp.class);
DevelopmentRunner.run();
}
class BugsFrame extends ULCFrame {
public BugsFrame() {
super("Bugs");
setDefaultCloseOperation(ULCFrame.TERMINATE_ON_CLOSE);
setSize(800, 900);
addComponents();
}
private void addComponents() {
ULCToolBar toolbar = new ULCToolBar();
toolbar.add(new ULCButton("A"));
toolbar.add(new ULCButton("B"));
toolbar.addSeparator();
ULCComboBox combo = new ULCComboBox(new String[]{"Red", "Green",
"Blue"});
toolbar.add(combo);
combo.setMaximumSize(combo.getPreferredSize());
add(toolbar, ULCBorderLayoutPane.NORTH);
}
}
}
This is the Swing class that works perfectly:
public class BugsFrameApp extends JFrame {
public static void main(String[] args) {
new BugsFrameApp().setVisible(true);
}
public BugsFrameApp() {
super("Bugs");
setDefaultCloseOperation(ULCFrame.TERMINATE_ON_CLOSE);
setSize(800, 900);
addComponents();
}
private void addComponents() {
JToolBar toolbar = new JToolBar();
toolbar.add(new JButton("A"));
toolbar.add(new JButton("B"));
toolbar.addSeparator();
JComboBox combo = new JComboBox(new String[]{"Red", "Green",
"Blue"});
toolbar.add(combo);
combo.setMaximumSize(combo.getPreferredSize());
add(toolbar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
}
}
