Which layout to use?

[Sudharshan Reddy Ch]

I have 4 buttons in my applicaiton, i have to arrange them in vertical. Through which layout i can do it? Please send me some sample code regarding.

Thanks.

new java.awt.GridLayout(4,1)

Yes, but using that the whole form will be occupied with the buttons. I want those buttons to display in center of my form.

i got that, i used BoxLayout like this

panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

and while adding the buttons

panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10,10,10,10));
panel.add(b1);
panel.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(0,5)));
panel.add(b2);
panel.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(0,5)));
panel.add(b3);
panel.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(0,5)));
panel.add(b4);
