Layouts in Swings

[gaya3]

Hi,
i need one small clarification in swing layouts.
I done coding as..

JPanel panel = new JPanel(new new GridLayout(5,0) );
for(int i=0;i<5;i++)
{
panel.add(new JLabel("Label"+ i));
panel.add(new JButton("button "+i))
}
(frame.getConte ntPane()).add(p anel);
its working fine output is viewed in screen as
Label1 Button1
Label2 Button2
Label3 Button3
But what i need is
Label1 Button1
Label1 Button1
Label1 Button1
Button4 Button5 Button6

is it possible to add button4,button5 ,button6 in another panel and add to the frame?if not how it can be done. Thanks in Advance.

-Thanks &Regards,

I suppose you mean:

Label1 Button1
Label2 Button2
Label3 Button3
Button4 Button5 Button6

The first three labels and buttons can be put in a JPanel A having a GridLayout(3, 0)
The second three Buttons can be put in another JPanel B having a GridLayout(1, 0)
Put both panels in a third JPanel C having a BorderLayout; put A in the CENTER
and put B south.

kind regards,

Jos

What do you need all those funny layouts for? Have a look at the GridBagLayout
or the new SpringLayout layout managers. Also have a look at the invisible components
(that do take up space) that can be made by the Box class.
