How can I control the width of JTextFields in Java Swing?

Question

I am trying to have several JTextFields on a single row, but I don\'t want them to have the same width. How can I control the width and make some of them wider than others?

Answer 1

// 1. create JTextField
yourTextField = new JTextField();
// 2. store default height
int defaultHeight = yourTextField.getSize().getHeight();
// 3. set custom width and default height
yourTextField.setSize(new Dimension(yourWidth, defaultHeight));
