Hi Padmanabhan,

Please correct me if im wrong, coz im not that much well versed with AWT.

You can add a component to a panel , In the panel you can set where the component should be displayed.
like JPanel p = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());

When you add components to a panel, you use the add method. Exactly which arguments you specify to the add method depend on which layout manager the panel uses. When the layout manager is FlowLayout, BoxLayout, GridLayout, or SpringLayout, you shud typically use the one-argument add method, like this

componentX.setBounds(10,10,300,400);
p.add(componentX);

Please let me know your questions and also im wrong

Thank You,

Padmanabhanp,

What Mohan said it true. But when I am using setBounds(....) method, I prefer to use "null" layout for better flexibility.

Panel p = new Panel();
p.setLayout(null);
.
.
.

remaining program will be same as said by Mohan.

Thanks,
