Hi, is it possible to change the horizontal alignment of a button or label in a gridlayout? I have a form with 2 labels, 2 textfields, and 1 button.

Here's the layout:
X = label
Y = TextField
Z = Button

X Y
X Y
Z

How can I get Z to be under Y? Thanks in advance.

add an empty label prior to adding Z

So for that kind of layout you can't use SwingConstants.Right or some other method for aligning?

you're not aligning anything.

you have 6 compartments/cells, 3 x 2.
they fill up left to right then top to bottom.

so, to get something into cell 5 (0-based),
you first have to put something in the prior 0 to 4

[edit] had 2 x 3
