GridBagLayout isn't sitting right

D

Darren

Hi all. I'm trying to use a gridbaglayout to set the layout of a dialog box.
The dialog box contains a panel with buttons in the southe field of a
borderlayout and the center panel contains the gridbaglayout
the centre panel is meant to show three rows. two of whoch contain a label,
a textfield and a button containing "..." and the other row contains a label
and a textfield only. Sounds simple huh?

I'm getting a mess. A self contained example is below

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

You've got a mess there all right. See test1 below.

f.add(l,c);

++c.gridx;
JTextField tf = new JTextField(10);
