How to get a specific layout with the available layout managers?

Hi
Not done java GUI's (approximately 5 and a half years) for a while (I havn't even touched java for ages until a few months ago), and I am a little embarrased by how much I have forgotten.
After tring unsuccessfully several times with TableLayouts and GridBagLayouts to produce this [ [http://i32.tinypic.com/fl94kp.png] ] sort of layout, I have decided I am either being incredibly stupid, or It's a rather difficult thing to do.
(Sorry about the crudeness of the drawing)
Please can someone point me on the right track as to what combination of layout managers + components I should be using to achive this, or even be super kind and post a code snippet for it.
Preferably, I would like to use just the default layout manages / components that come with java, which will allow me to continue working on the GUI in netbeans without it complaining, but I'll use external libraries if absolutely nesecarry.
Thanks
A completely unrelated side note, but where the heck have all my past posts and dukes gone. :(

Yes, A BorderLayout did solve my problems. It appears I was being stupid after all. :)
@Encephalopathic. Using a gridbaglayout does indeed help with the centering issue for the smaller panel on the right. I had just worked that out myself when you posted. I had been reluctant to try the gridbaglayout for that, because it caused me a load of pain when I tried using it for the original problem.
Thanks

* Please tell me how to assign project specific task with the newly created projects??? *
Also please tell me how to assign multiple * Project_Relationship_Code * (ex: END CLIENT, GENERAL CONTRACTOR, PRIMARY) for a particular project during project creation?

Are you not storing the project number in the staging table designed for storing the task data? You can use create_project API to create the project and tasks at the same time with one single call. You may want to try that option

How to get a minus sign with the cost field in ALV.

Hi ,
How to get a minus sign with the cost field in ALV.
The Ouput will be displayed like Rs -1500 instead of 1500-
I can't use concatenate also as i may have to use the sum functionality of ALV .
Cheers
Sunny

Hi sunny,
1. The OTHER FIELD
has to be character field of say length 15.
2. Write the original numeric value to
this character field (in a loop)
3. But simply writing won't help.
4. use this kind of logic.
5.
REPORT abc.
DATA : m TYPE i.
DATA : chr(15) TYPE c.
m = -100.
WRITE m TO chr.
IF m < 0.
SHIFT chr RIGHT BY 1 PLACES.
CONDENSE chr.
CONCATENATE '-' chr INTO chr.
ENDIF.
WRITE chr.
regards,
amit m.

How to get my photos printed with the full image?!

I just bought iLife and when I select certain cropped photos to print, the top of someone's head gets cut off in the the photo. If I change sizes of prints or rotate the photo, it cuts off different amount of head but never gives the full image. I did not have this problem with iphoto before I installed this new version. I need to have access to printing photos. I use Canon MP500, ibook G4 and Airport Express for wireless printing. I think the prob is iLife cuz it didn't do this before in iPhoto and I have no prob with other applications. Help!!!!!!

Select the photo you want to print, and click on Edit. Then click on Crop, and a drop-down menu will appear. Use this menu to select the photo size that you want to print. Then use the cropping frame to get the photo the way you want. It is important to select the correct size of the printed photo because the ratios of length to width are not the same from one size to another. For example, a 4 x 3 is closer in shape to a square than is a 5 x 7. You might have to try different photo sizes from the drop-down menu to get he result you want.

How to get users to start with the first episode?

I checked my stats today and found that the most recent episode of my podcast is the one the has been hit waaay more than any of the others. But I'd really prefer listeners hit the first episode first. Do other podcasters find this? Is it worth re-ordering the dates in the feed to get the fist episode to come up first in the list?

Actually, you can change the order of items in the RSS feed without changing any of the dates or other info that is within a given item.
Select the episode you want first, cut it and then paste it at the top of the list right after the general feed info. Re-order all your episodes this way (oldest at the top, newest at the bottom). This way, if someone double-clicks the name of your feed episode 1 will be the one they get.
Also, in many podcast lists your episodes are listed in the same order in which you have placed them in your RSS feed
So you just re-arrange the items, but don't change the info in the items.

HT1386 How do you sync specific songs with the NEW iTunes?

I have a large music library and my iPhone is only 16GB. This limits the amount of songs i can put on it. In the previous iTunes it was possible to remove a song by simply un-ticking it. I've tried that in the current version of iTunes but when i sync, the songs still end up on my iPhone.
What can I do to stop certain songs from syncing (whitout having to create a million playlists)?

Make sure that the "Sync Music" option from the Music tab in your iTunes is checked but not the "Entire music library" underneath the "Entire music library" option you can select which parts of you iTunes library to sync with your iPhone.

HT1918 How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none' :(

How do you solve an issue with the card? I don't get the option of 'none'

I had this exact same problem with the new iPhone I bought on 1/4/13. The walk through they provide on how to do this is useless because it fails to explain that if you are already having the problem of not getting the "None" payment option with an Apple ID then you will need to create a completely new Apple ID.
I had to do this 7 times since I bought my iPhone on Friday until this morning to figure out how to finally be able to use the Home Sharing option in iTunes to put my music collection on my brand new $500.00 iPhone. Pretty pathetic if you ask me but since it made me so angry I want to make sure other know how to do this so you don't get as upset as I did.
#1 If your current or soon to be "old" Apple ID is not providing the option for "None" as a payment option then you need to make a brand new one. But you have to make it specifically how I tell you.
#2 You will need to use an email address that has not already been used for anything related to a previous Apple ID. You might need to make a brand new email address.
#3 Open iTunes, then open iTunes Store (upper right corner of iTunes).
#4 Click on App Store (upper center of screen).
#5 Scroll down the screen page until you see Top Free Apps on the right side.
#6 Choose any one of the FREE apps.
#7 You should either get the option to create a new Apple ID box, either that, or it will pop up with some kind of disclaimer and then it does the create new Apple ID.
Either way just create a new Apple ID when it gives you the option to and then when you get to the page that looks like the payment page the "None" payment option will finally be available.
Note: You will still have to fill out the information on the payment page. As long as you choose the "None" option it will not request any credit card information.
#8 You will be sent a confirmation email to the new email account. Just follow through with what ever it tells you and viola now you can use your Apple Device.
What a pain in the keester, eh?

You might consider itunes match for moving CDs you've copied into your itunes library if you dont have a way to use home sharing.
iTunes match is an optional service offered by apple that costs about $25 a year. It scans your music library and if it finds music that is already in apple's itunes catalog it'll automatically "unlock"/"store" these in the cloud for you. Items that it does not find in the catalog it'll upload and store these in the cloud for you and you can download them on your devices. See http://www.apple.com/itunes/itunes-match/

If you are saying that after signing into iCloud it is telling you device is not found, it could be for any number of reasons. If the battery is dead, if the SIM has been removed, or if someone else has the phone and they have restored it, it will not be shown. Also, if you located it once and then sent a remote wipe, it disables the abililty to locate the phone with Find My iPhone.

I had to wipe out my laptop, I am waiting to get my serial number back. I need to know how I download Logic Pro 9 with the codes I already have.

If you bought the boxed set of Logic Studio 2.0 which includes LP9, then you cannot download it. You must use the disks that came as part of the boxed set... to install from.
If you bought the App Store version of Logic Pro 9 then go to the Mac App Store App, Sign into the Store using the same Apple ID you used to purchase LP originally, look under the Purchase Tab and you shouldl find LP9 ready and waiting for you to download and install.
