GUI Question

[Kid Programmer]

Hello guys. I have a GUI question. How do you format your page with buttons and things so that, for example, you would have something looking like this:

   
                                                            button1
                       button2
                                                                                                button3

How would you do this?

Are you talking about Frames?

If yes, you can set the container's layout into null, then use setBounds/setLocation method for that.....

I'm really loath to give up on the LayoutManager, and so far I've never given up and set layout to null.

One option is to have a GridLayout with blank labels for the empty cells:

B__
__B
_B_

If you want bigger gaps, use a GridBagLayout or SpringLayout.

ps Box.createHoriz ontalGlue() would be fine too.

I also want to be able to place the buttons on different lines.

Sure, do as BDLH suggested and put them in a GridLayout; for the 'empty' cells
you can use empty labels as BDLH suggested or Glue as I suggested.

kind regards,
