combobox question

Am I able to add the panel like this? Boxes don't show but the city does

fourthRow.add(city);

myPanel.add(stateCombo);

myPanel.add(zipCombo);

here is the layout I'm using (format desired)

fieldPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(8,1));

FlowLayout rowSetup = newFlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT,5,3);

firstRow.setLayout(rowSetup);

secondRow.setLayout(rowSetup);

thirdRow.setLayout(rowSetup);

fourthRow.setLayout(rowSetup);
