All Implemented Interfaces:: HTMLTagElement, java.io.Serializable

public class GridLayoutFormPanel
extends LayoutFormPanel

The GridLayoutFormPanel class represents a grid layout of HTML form elements.

GridLayoutFormPanel objects generate the following events:

ElementEvent - The events fired are:
- elementAdded
- elementRemoved
PropertyChangeEvent
VetoableChangeEvent

This examples creates a GridLayoutFormPanel object with two columns.

  
  // Create a text form input element for the system.
  LabelFormElement sysPrompt = new LabelFormElement("System:");
  TextFormInput system = new TextFormInput("System");
  
  // Create a text form input element for the userId.
  LabelFormElement userPrompt = new LabelFormElement("User:");
  TextFormInput user = new TextFormInput("User");
  
  // Create a password form input element for the password.
  LabelFormElement passwordPrompt = new LabelFormElement("Password:");
  PasswordFormInput password = new PasswordFormInput("Password");
  
  // Create the GridLayoutFormPanel object with two columns and add the form elements.
  GridLayoutFormPanel panel = new GridLayoutFormPanel(2);
  panel.addElement(sysPrompt);
  panel.addElement(system);
  panel.addElement(userPrompt);
  panel.addElement(user);
  panel.addElement(passwordPrompt);
  panel.addElement(password);
  
  // Create the submit button to the form.
  SubmitFormInput logonButton = new SubmitFormInput("logon", "Logon");
  
  // Create HTMLForm object and add the panel to it.
  HTMLForm form = new HTMLForm(servletURI);
  form.addElement(panel);
  form.addElement(logonButton);
