GUI Component Alignment

[khushib]

Hello
I have written a tesing program. Here is a image of that:



This is how I want it to look like:

OK(button) on the right side of my first row.

Snap to Grid(CheckBox), X:(Label), 8(textBox) on second Row

Rest on third row.

I tried using setHorizontalAl ignment method from Component class, But it doesn't work.

Anyone have any thoughts about it?

Thanks,
Khushi

That's what LayoutManagers are used for.

Which LayoutManager would work for me? FlowLayout, GridLayout or BorderLayout... .

You have to learn how to play with those layout managers. Maybe three BoxLayout
managers next to each other can do the job for you. Personally I never use a
complicated GridbagLayout; check out Sun's tutorials.
