JTextField question

[gioeco]

I am having trouble moving the bottom text field to the left side.
Could someone please show me a possible solution for this?

Which JTextField is that? What are you doing to try to move it over?

[gioeco]

It is the "sphere" JTextField it is in line 91.

That is the problem, I don't know what to do to try to move it over.

Chose a suitable layout manager. Lesson: Laying Out Components Within a Container (The Java™ Tutorials > Creating a GUI With JFC/Swing)

If you notice in my code I already have a layout manager, I have GridLayout. I have all the other stuff layed out but the last text field is not how I want it. I am trying to get the TextField smaller and move it to the left, right beside the JLabel.
Could someone run this code on their compiler and see what I am talking about?

[DarrylBurke]

I said, use a suitable layout manager. It's evident that GridLayout isn't serving your purpose.

I am trying to get the TextField smaller and move it to the left,

GridLayout doesn't do that. Read the API and the tutorial.

Thanks for your help mate. It is evident that I need more experience with Java.

Thanks again for clearing things up.

[DarrylBurke]

The API is the Application Programming Interface aka javadoc.
Java Platform SE 6
Java Platform SE 7

There's no need to send a PM to ask a technical question.

I found another possible solution for my problem.
