    Default GridBagLayout problems with align

    Hi, guys. Im quite new in Java and specially in GUI. Im using GridBagLayout and I have one problem all my components aligning to center but I need to left and top. How I can do that? How I can set minimum and maximum size of my application(for ex. I have app. with size 500*300 but I want set min. size 400*200 and max. size 600*400)?
    Can you give me an advice where I can search and how I can change view of my components (font, size, color, shape)?

    public class gui extends JFrame {
            gui(){
                super("Grid Bag L.");
                JFrame frame = new JFrame("test_");
                GridBagLayout g = new GridBagLayout();
                frame.setLayout(g);
                GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
                            frame.setSize(500, 200);
                frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
                frame.setVisible(true);
     
                String[] w= {"", "", ""};
                JComboBox box= new JComboBox(w);
                g.setConstraints(box,c);
                frame.add(box,new GridBagConstraints(0,0,5,1,0.0,0.0, GridBagConstraints.NORTHWEST, GridBagConstraints.CENTER, new Insets(5,5,5,5),0,0));

    Please see the following, and note that layouts can be nested (one JPanel with one layout within another with a different layout)

    Use GridBagConstraints.anchor property.

    component.setMinimumSize(), component.setMaximumSize()
