Thread: How do I prevent buttons from flowing over when the window is dragged.

I'm using a BorderLayout, with 26 buttons to make up the alphabet from a keyboard. All the spacing looks great, but when you drag the screen out, everything gets jumbled. I would prefer to have everything stretch out, and keep the same positioning, or everything move towards the center still keeping the keyboard style positioning of the buttons but increasing the size of the window. How should I approach this? Will a BorderLayout work for what I want, or should I try something else?

Currently to keep the buttons spaced apart I am keeping there preferred size to 25, and using horizontal and vertical struts to get the buttons positioned like I want.

This is how it is if I keep it the width and height 400, 400.

This is what happens when its stretched or shrunk.

This is an example of one of the ways I would prefer it

This is would also be acceptable.

I apologize if my question is confusing, and would be glad to clarify.
