JPanels in Java

[Diane]

Hi, I am taking a Java course and I can't figure out how to take an existing
Panel and add panels to it. I understand how to use the borderlayout function,
but need to create a panel in the WEST Border area, Horziontally. ie. a
Text Area on the farthest left side, and then a set of checkboxes in a single
row. I have the checkboxes lined up and can get a Text area to appear, but
not to the left of the checkboxes.

Thanks Diane

You can use another layout manager. One possibility would be the grid.

If you think components and parts then you will be better able to solve this.
For example build a panel that displays the checkboxes and test it out.
Then add that component to another, and so on.
