hello friends

i have created a 10 * 10 grid of buttons using grid layout
2 rows of buttons need to be of greater height, the width being the
same

i think a different layout manager is needed but cant conclude which
one will suite the purpose

please help

thanks

Gridbag lets you pad the height with ipady

i should have wrote this before but
i also need to put images on those buttons
and it is because 2 rows of images are of larger height that i need
taller buttons

so isn't there a way by which the buttons adjust automatically to the
size of the imageicon
this way the design would become simpler

Yes, but not with a GridLayout -- the very purpose of which it is to
have uniformed grid cells.

Did you read the tutorials Daniele pointed out to you?
Which bit of those tutorials are you having problems with?

> please help

Post an SSCCE (http://sscce.org/) using one of the other layouts.
e.g. One of GridBagLayout, nested BoxLayouts, ...

If you do that, I'll certainly spend some time looking into whatever
problem you have.
