Have you tried looking here?

Or here?

Take a look at those links and come on back if you have some specific questions.

Thanx! I only had one question... (Please bear with me, I'm only 11 years old) I don't get the ipady() method in the API docs. What's the internal padding? If you could answer me, I'd REALLY appreciate it. Thanks!

From the API:

Specifies the component's internal padding within the layout, how much to add to the minimum size of the component. The width of the component will be at least its minimum width plus (ipadx * 2) pixels (since the padding applies to both sides of the component). Similarly, the height of the component will be at least the minimum height plus (ipady * 2) pixels.

The height of a grid cell in a GridBagLayout is determined by the minimum height of the component in that cell (i.e. a button, label, etc.) and the value for ipady. Since the default falue for ipady is 0, the default height for a grid cell is the same as the height of the component. We use ipady to make the grid cell taller than the component, "padding" the space between this component and the component above and below it.
ipadx does the same thing for grid components that are next to each other.

Well Allion, it looks like you got your answer.
As far as just being 11, don't worry anout it. Heck I'm 45 and Gridbaglayout took me a while to grasp too.

Never be afraid to asks questions, especially here at JavaRanch! IMHO, best java forum on earth.

Also, as a fan of graemlins, you may want to use this unlisted javaranch one:
That is http://www.javaranch.com/ubb/yelrotflmao.gif
 
If you send is by car it's a shipment, but if by ship it's cargo. This tiny ad told me:
