how to change size of cells in GridLayout ??

[Jesse Crockett]

how do i change the size of cells in GridLayout, and also how to make some components span several rows & columns?

You can't change the size of individual cells - they're all the same with GridLayout.

Components can't span rows or columns with GridLayout, but GridBagLayout can do this (and is significantly harder to use).

While you can't make components span multiple rows with GridLayout, you can resize them all uniformly. Put your GridLayout on its own JPanel, and then you can use panel.setSize(x,y) to change the panel size and thus increase or decrease the size of the cells.
