How to use FlowLayout in Java?

[Silent~Kid]

I know that when i not mention any other type of the layout manager, by default, the flow layout appears. But since I don't know much about the Java, I am interested in knowing more about the flow layout. So thought that some guys over there would be interested in helping me. So please tell me how to use FlowLayout in Java.?? Any coding related to the topic would be grateful.!!

A components are arranged in a directional flow in a flow layout which is much like lines of text in a paragraph. The following are the two types of componentOrientation property which describes the flow direction and may be one of two values :

• ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT
• ComponentOrientation.RIGHT_TO_LEFT

Flow layouts are typically used to arrange buttons in a panel.

The code that I have provided would be very helpful for you in applets.

import java.awt.*;
 import java.applet.Applet;

 public class ButtonsDemo extends Applet {
     Button button1, button2, button3;
     public void init() {
         button1 = new Button("Next");
         button2 = new Button("Previous");
         button3 = new Button("Close");
         add(button1);
         add(button2);
         add(button3);
     }
 }

Once if you know about the Constructor of the FlowLayout, then you will find easy to use it. So I have provided some constructor which are as below :

public FlowLayout()

By using the above constructor you can construct a new FlowLayout with a centered alignment and a default 5-unit horizontal and vertical gap. If you want to creates a new flow layout manager with the indicated alignment and the indicated horizontal and vertical gaps, check the following code :

public FlowLayout(int align,
                  int hgap,
                  int vgap)

The code snippet below creates a FlowLayout object and the components it manages.

FlowLayout TrialLayout = new FlowLayout();

...

	compsToTrial.setLayout(TrialLayout);

	compsToTrial.add(new JButton("Button 1"));
	compsToTrial.add(new JButton("Button 2"));
	compsToTrial.add(new JButton("Button 3"));
	compsToTrial.add(new JButton("Long-Named Button 4"));
	compsToTrial.add(new JButton("5"));
