Top-align Buttons
- Thread starter cardy
- Start date
you can add them to another JPanel which has a flowlayout manager, and then add that panel to your box layout.
A box layout only gives you a choice of either X ior Y alignment, both mutually exclusive. If you want a screen with buttons at the top, try using a borderlayout and then add a panel containing the 3 buttons to the NORTH part of the borderlayout.
Box layout is complex to use and is normally only suitable for when there are frame resizing issues you need to address (i.e. it allows you to apply glue to certain compennets whilst letting other float around as the frame is resized etc).
