Hi Frank ,
what i want ro achieve is to build an array of labels and textfields.
The array would have 6 columns and a variable number of rows depending on
the number of components(labels and textfields) provided.

I want my array to be displayed as follows:

label1-textfield1-label2-textfield2-label3-textfield3
label4-textfield4-label5-textfield5-label6-textfield6
label7-textfield7-label8-textfield8-label9-textfield6
and so on...8
I tried something like the following but it doesn't work when there are (i.e
8 elements , 4 labels and 4 textfields)
===============================================================================
   int rows=1;
       int cols=6;

       int elements=2*currentNodes;

       if (elements<=6){
         rows =1;
         cols=elements;

       }
       else if (elements>=7)
    {

        while (elements>=7)
       {
          elements = elements-6;
          rows++;
       }
     }

       Panel nodeSuppliesPanel = new Panel(new GridLayout(rows,6,2,2));
       //GridLayout nodeSupplies Panel holds only labels and textfields

      for (int i=0;i<currentNodes;i++) // add labels and textfields for
node supplies
       {
           nodeSuppliesLabels[i]=new Label("b("+(i+1)+")",Label.CENTER);
            nodeSuppliesPanel.add(nodeSuppliesLabels[i]);
            nodeSuppliesTextFields[i]=new TextField();
            nodeSuppliesTextFields[i].setText(String.valueOf(nodeSupplies[i]));
            nodeSuppliesPanel.add(nodeSuppliesTextFields[i]);

        }// end for
