What layout manager are you using? Most layout managers can handle this situation fine. If you aren't using a layout manager... Well, now you know why you need one. [ March 16, 2004: Message edited by: Nathan Pruett ]

i didn't use any layout manager.but i used the boxlayout for arranging the components in the panel.atlast i just add the panel to contentpane. please tell me the posible way to handle the resolution problem with this. thanks in advance.
Well i used something like this for a similar problem.. i dont know if it's the best way, but anyway here's what ive done - i made an instance of the java.awt.Dimension class like this Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize() Then i used relative dimensions to all the buttons and swing components i created, e.g. jb=new JButton(); jb.reshape(screenSize.getwidth()/2,screenSize.getLength()/4..... seems stupid .. if someone else knows a smarter way please let us know

BoxLayout wil honor preferred size of components. Instead of using setSize as final call, use pack and that should be good. HTH, - Manish
