      How can I control the position of components
      in a window. For example I want to display
      labels with textboxes next to each label all
      aligned vertically.
      ex : label1: text1
      label2: text2

      I want to be able to control the x and y positions of each component separately, placing
      them anywhere freely and remaining there when window sized.

      I tried using different layout managers but perhaps I do not have enough info.
      Can I get an example code of let's say a data
      entry interface :

      ptelaro,

      I have had the same fustration. The best that I could come up with was to put the
      components that I want together in a Panel which in turn is in the window.

      You can also try calling theComponent.setLocation(x, y);
      in the windows paint method. I don't really like either solution but...
