        ivjagreementInitiatorComboBox.setPreferredSize(new
Dimension(150, 20));
            ivjagreementInitiatorComboBox.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(6000,
20));

            ivjagreementInitiatorComboBox.setAlignmentX(LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
    ivjagreementInitiatorComboBox.setEnabled(true);



            for (int i = 0; i < agreementupdateStrings.length; i++) {
                            ivjagreementInitiatorComboBox.addItem(agreementupdateStrings[i]);
                        }
            ivjagreementInitiatorComboBox.setToolTipText("Initiator of the
replication agreement.");
            ivjagreementInitiatorComboBox.setRequestFocusEnabled(true);
        //    ivjagreementInitiatorComboBox.setAlignmentX(LEFT_ALIGNMENT);


        } catch (java.lang.Throwable ivjExc) {
            handleException(ivjExc);

Q1: Is this left side or right side?
Q2: Could you show the code for another JComboBox?
Q3: Is validate() called in your container?
(after xxxSize() methods are called on the component)

Hello,

I am not using Is validate() is my container
It is right side of the container .. ( -> )

The another ComboBox code is ..

if (ivjknowledgeTypeComboBox == null) {
        try {
            ivjknowledgeTypeComboBox = new JComboBox();
            ivjknowledgeTypeComboBox.setName("knowledgeTypeField");
            ivjknowledgeTypeComboBox.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(150, 20));
            ivjknowledgeTypeComboBox.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(6000, 20));
            ivjknowledgeTypeComboBox.setEnabled(true);
            ivjknowledgeTypeComboBox.setToolTipText("Type of references to
naming contexts to be shadowed.");
            ivjknowledgeTypeComboBox.setRequestFocusEnabled(true);
            for (int i = 0; i <
ReplicationDetails.shadowKnowledgeTypeStrings.length; i++) {
            ivjknowledgeTypeComboBox.addItem(ReplicationDetails.shadowKnowledgeTypeStrings[i]);
            }
        } catch (java.lang.Throwable ivjExc) {
            handleException(ivjExc);
        }
    }
    return ivjknowledgeTypeComboBox;
}

We need self contained code, not just
snippets, jude.

What do you mean when you say
'left' and 'right' JComboBox?
Only one is ever instantiated.

But then, it's a bit hard to tell what you
are doing without an SSCCE..
