How to specify X and Y position of a ComboBox?

[john price]

How do you specify X and Y postions of a ComboBox? By using combobox.setBounds(x, y, l, h)?

Thanks,

You should learn to use Layout Managers.

String[] AILevel = {"Easy", "Normal", "Hard", "Expert"};
	AIBoxLevel = new JComboBox(AILevel); //50, 195
	AIBoxLevel.setBounds(50, 195, 50, 50);
	AIBoxLevel.setSelectedIndex(1);
	this.add(AIBoxLevel);
	AIBoxLevel.addActionListener(this);

This isn't working. And the way I have things set up, setBounds would work WAY better than Layout Managers. setBounds is not working.
Please help,

That was my point. You have things set up wrong. You need to design for layout managers from the beginning. So take the time to learn how to use them properly now so you don't get into bad habits.

Anyway we can't tell why your 4 lines of posted code don't work because we don't know how they are used in the context of you program.

And you still haven't changed the variable name.

Probably because there is a layout manager at work which re-positions and re-sizes the combo box.
