Hi all-

I'm trying to allow a user to resize a GUI.  I'm trying to get it
working on a test application first, which has a table within a scroll
pane, on a panel in a frame.  When the frame is resized, I'd like the
scroll pane to adjust its size based on a percentage of the size of the
frame.

I'm trying to use the XYLayout, but it seems that no matter what I do
(e.g. set bounds, delete and re-add the component, set preferred sizes,
etc) the sizes of the components always go back to their initial size.
Sometimes you can see the scroll pane flash to the correct size for a
moment, but then it resizes to the original XYConstraints.

I was hoping not to use a different layout manager, if possible.

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
Thanks
Sam

BTW, I'm using JBuilder3.
