Hi,

I hope some can help me to give the last lesson in learning GridBagLayout.
Because I'm stuck...

Below, I have my stucking example.

What I need is a top panel with two title panels inside like the example.
Each title panel should be
shown with the same size no matter how many components each title panel
contain. For instance, if the left
title panel contains 5 components and the right title panel contains 3
components then both title panels should
be shown in same hight and width.

I also need each component pair (e.g. label and comboBox) for each row to be
aligned.

Thanks in advance...
