Please Edit your post and wrap your code with[code=java]<YOUR CODE HERE>[/code] to get highlighting

Can you explain what the problem is? What do you want the program to do?

You need to try using layout managers for the panels. You are giving the current layout manager instructions that it is not using:
panelInput.add(pnlInpLeft, BorderLayout.WEST);

panelInput is not using a BorderLayout so that is ignored. Try setting its layout manager to BorderLayout.

Did you change the layout manager as I suggested?
