    Default [Help] Arranging Objects please help

    Okay, I'm using GridBagLayout to position my items, but I'm trying to put about 4 buttons up in a corner, and if I do:
    BorderLayout.WEST, it goes to the left side, but it goes to the middle, and I don't know how to do this because I'm a beginner.

    Heres my code:

    JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
    frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
    GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();

    JButton button = new JButton("Update");
    c.gridx = 0;
    c.gridy = 0;
    panel.add(button, c);

    How would I change that code to put it in the corner?

    Here's a picture of the program. The red means where I need the buttons.


    and if the picture doesn't show up here's the Link:

    Thanks, please reply as soon as possible.

    Rarely can you achieve what you want with only one panel and one layout manager. What you will need to do is place your buttons on a separate panel with whatever layout you need and then add that panel to the main panel. Or you might need to nest several panels inside one another.
