Swing - Buttons Vertically

[Guest_imported]

hi, i m writing a swing application, and i want to put some buttons vertically, without using GridBagLayout. My problem is that each button's size is as long as its label, but i want them all to be similar. Is there a solution, without using GridBagLayout - its for my exams, thats why i cant use it

try using just a normal grid layout and give it a column size of 1, that way as you arrange your buttons they will be added vertically.

The grid layout will be better as the button sizes are kept uniform throughout (smaller buttons will grow to match the size of the largest required.
