Force MigLayout shrink like GridBagLayout for hidden Objects

Question

I am trying to replace GridBagLayout with MigLayout. The problem is that if i call obj.setVisible(false) for some object in GridBaglayout, the layout shrinks. But in MigLayout it just remains hidden. Do you know some way to make MigLayout acting like GridBagLayout?

Answer 1

Have a look at the "hidemode" property on the MigLayout Cheat Sheet over here:

You probably want new MigLayout("hidemode 3")
