GridLayout question

[stuckonjava]

public class layouttester {

public static void main(String[] args){

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
Container container = frame.getContentPane();
container.setLayout(new GridLayout(10,10));
for(int i =0; i<5; i++)
for(int j=0; j<5; j++)
if(i>=j){
container.add(new JButton("X"));


}
else{ container.add(new JLabel());




}
frame.setSize(500,500);
frame.setVisible(true);
}}



I thought that when we have a gridlayout, it will fill up the rows and then onto the next row etc. Could someone please explain why this one does do so and what difference that for sloop makes.
Thanks you

Please use code tags when posting code here.

Regarding your question, please check out the GridLayout API as it's all spelled out there with the paragraph that begins: "When both the number of rows and the number of columns have been set to non-zero values, either by a constructor or by the setRows and setColumns methods, ..."

127 posts and you still don't know how to use code tags? Or is it that you just can't be bothered?

Sorry, I always forget to use the code tags. From here on in I will always use them. Is what I did above correct?

Thanks

Why do you use a GridLayout(10, 10)?

@JosAH: check the dates of the question. I think he's trying to make amends for not replying to previous threads, and good for him!

Oh dear, I wasn't paying attention; but it's Sunday so I'm forgiven ;-)
