Hi Richard. Thanks for the response. I understand that the purpose of Layout Managers is to help with automatic sizing and placing of visual components. But in the BorderLayout case it could as well be (should have been) possible to set the width of the WEST and EAST components and the height of the NORTH and SOUTH components and the CENTER should get the remaining space. Shouldn't that have been better? Guess I have to write my own layout manager... / Simon Richard Wilkman wrote in message <35C08EDF.CFC9BA42@inprise.com>... >Simon: > >BorderLayout does not allow you to change the size of the components >that are inside of it (nor does GridLayout, FlowLayout or >CardLayout).
