bname.setMinimumSize(dim);

tf=new JTextField(10);
Dimension dim1=new Dimension(400, 25);

tf.setMinimumSize(dim1);
tf.setMaximumSize(dim1);

Box b1=Box.createHorizontalBox();
Box b2=Box.createHorizontalBox();

b1.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, 10, 10, 10));
b2.setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(10, 10, 10, 10));

b1.add(bname);
b1.add(Box.createRigidArea(new Dimension(0, 4)));
b1.createHorizontalGlue();

Dimension minSize = new Dimension(5, 100);
Dimension prefSize = new Dimension(5, 100);
Dimension maxSize = new Dimension(Short.MAX_VALUE, 100);
b1.add(new Box.Filler(minSize, prefSize, maxSize));

public static void main (String args[])
{
//MyFrame mfrm=new MyFrame();

SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){ public void run(){ new MyFrame();}});

}

Hello Gaurev18,

Check out these Oracle tutorials about Creating a Custom Layout Manager and Absolute Positioning. Those should help you get the desired result.

Best of luck.
