You need to understand layout managers, before you will understand how they interact with visual designers. I suggest you start with the Swing Tutorial, in the section on Layout Managers, and then see if it becomes more clear for you, in the context of the designer. http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/index.html -- Regards, Lori Olson [TeamB] ------------ Save yourself, and everyone else, some time and search the newsgroups and the FAQ-O-Matic before posting your next question.
