hi srilatha,
can u tell me how u are going to place the components.
i suggest u to use separate panel for combobox, separate panel for label and use vertical layout(avialable free in the net).
Add the two panels to an outer panel in east and west.in another panel add the textfield to the center.
Add the two buttons in a separate panel using flowlayout.add this panel and textfield panel to another panel in north and south.
Add the 2 outer panel to an another outer panel in north and south.
Add this panel to the frame in center.
If u want the vertical layout class, mail me to this id
-sashkamal@lycos.com bye.
