    Default any layout that uses exact coordinates

    Hi All

    I am working on an AWT application and I need some sort of layout manager that lets me specifiy exact coordinates where I need my components to be placed inside the panel.


    The only platform my application will run will be windows so I am not really concerned about portability.

    any ideas ??

    many thanks in advance :)

    You could try a null layout, i.e. no LayoutManager at all; you have to position and size all your components yourself; you'll get back to using LayoutManagers after you've seen the results ...

    kind regards,

    Jos

    Josah is right, using layout is best option.
    But 1 question? Does exact coordiates means setting components location only or does it means location and size of components?

    Regards
