JDialog fixed height [duplicate]

Question

JDialog allow user to only change width of the dialog

I have a JDialog that I would like the width to be resizable, but the height not.

This is my current code:

addComponentListener(new ComponentAdapter() {
    @Override
    public void componentResized(ComponentEvent e) {
        setLocation(getLocation().x, getLocation().y + (getHeight() - staticHeight));
        setSize(new Dimension(getWidth(), staticHeight));
        super.componentResized(e);
    }
});

Problem is, that code gets called after the window is resized. Making the window resize and then flicker back.

I would like to make it so when the user trys to drag the height of the window it does nothing.

Answer 1

• you can't directly stop resizing,

• you can't block basic property of containers,

• container because from Native OS and are built on its properties,

• and limitations for resizing is screen size

• rest are (with code) Resizing Components by @camickr

• there are dirty hack based on AbsoluteLayout, and I don't suggest using that

• block resize if there is any flickering or freeze during resize
