FlowLayout Display Problems

[Chase Becicka]

I can't seem to get my searchPanel to show up on my JFrame and I don't know why, its not conflicting with any other JFrames and also I wished to know that lets say I added a second Panel to the south region of the boarder layout how would I get that layout to display nicly with the other???

What about moving the labels?

if ok, change this
private void addComponents(...)
{
gbc.anchor = gbc.WEST; //<-----------
gbc.gridwidth = gbc.RELATIVE;
...
}


to this
private void addComponents(...)
{
gbc.anchor = gbc.EAST; //<------------
gbc.gridwidth = gbc.RELATIVE;
...
}

Well, I'm confused.

The original post had WEST, now it's EAST, and a different message.

Think I'll wait for the book.
