CS3 - Button Tool - blue alignment lines

Question

Have just converted to CS3 on Windows.
The button tool's blue "alignment" lines are annoying. I guess they are good for aligning things but are they good for anything else?
Can they be turned off?

Answer 1

yeah, i understand how it should work and stuff, but i dont think i understand exactly how to use what you've given me. this is what i have now:
I left out pane because i get the error listed at the bottom. with swing included or not.
i added one panel for every section of the BorderLayout just so i could see if everything was being positioned correctly, with the title at the top center, my buttons on the right, south and center labeled, and a button on the east. it comes out like this: http://geocities.com/cilphex/Paint6.htm
so it doesn't quite work.
what are my mistakes? */
//declare buttons
     public void init()
     // add controls
     Panel centerPanel = new Panel();
     Panel eastPanel = new Panel();
     Panel southPanel = new Panel();
     Panel northPanel = new Panel();
     Panel controlPanel = new Panel();
     controlPanel.setLayout(new GridLayout(0,1));
     northPanel.add( new Label( "CilPaint" ), "North" );
     southPanel.add( new Label( "south" ), "South" );
     centerPanel.add(new Label("center"), "Center");
     controlPanel.add(textField = new TextField("Drawing blue lines.", 15));
     //add buttons to controlPanel
     //add Clear button to eastPanel
     add(controlPanel, "West");
     add(centerPanel, "Center");
     add(eastPanel, "East");
     add(southPanel, "South");
     add(northPanel, "North");
One error that i get is that when i write;
Container pane = getContentPane();
i get the error;
cannot resolve symbol
symbol: method getContentPane()
location: class Paint6
Container pane = getContentPane();
^ (under the g)
again, any help is much appreciated
