}

});

}

}

i have declared the panel as size 800*600..im adding 4 components in a row..like below

label: textfieldlabel: textfield

label: textfieldlabel: textfield

label: textfieldlabel: textfield

label: textfieldlabel: textfield

But i dunno why the text fields are becoming so big(occupying the empty screen)...

Any suggestions?

thnx
