Thread: Want to move my button away from center.

Hello. I am trying to move my button to the topmost part of my application's window.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
 
public class test extends JFrame{
 
public test()
{
super("A window");
setSize(500,500);
setComponentOrientation(ComponentOrientation.LEFT_TO_RIGHT);
 
JPanel panel=new JPanel();
 
JButton button=new JButton("Hey my name is bob");
panel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());
GridBagConstraints constraints=new GridBagConstraints();
constraints.gridwidth=10;
constraints.gridheight=10;
constraints.gridx=0;
constraints.gridy=0;
constraints.fill=GridBagConstraints.BOTH;
panel.add(button,constraints);
add(panel);
 
setVisible(true);
 
 
	}
 
public static void main(String[] s) {
    	test a=new test();
 
    }
 
 
}

I read the java sun tuts on gridbaglayout but I am still struggling as far as learning how to place controls.Can someone tell me how to position componenets on a gridbaglayout pane the exact way i want them to be layed out?

Instead of using GridBagLayout, try using FlowLayout. It will set the button to the top center of the panel.

Thanks for the quick response.
