here is a lil demo with GridLayout and BorderLayout.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.applet.*;
public class KeyPadDemo extends Applet {
     KeyPad keyPad;
     TextArea textArea;
     public void init(){
          this.setSize(300,300);
          this.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
          this.add(textArea = new TextArea(), "North");
          this.add(keyPad = new KeyPad(textArea),"Center");
class KeyPad extends Panel{
MyButton buttonZero, buttonOne, buttonTwo,
buttonThree, buttonFour, buttonFive, buttonSix;
MyButton buttonSeven, buttonEight, buttonNine,
buttonDecimal, buttonZeroZero;
     TextArea outputArea;
     KeyPad(TextArea outputArea){
          this.outputArea=outputArea;
setLayout(new GridLayout(4,3));                    //GUI number
r button pad
          add(buttonSeven = new MyButton("1"));
          add(buttonEight  = new MyButton("2"));
          add(buttonNine = new MyButton("3"));
          add(buttonFour = new MyButton("4"));
          add(buttonFive = new MyButton("5"));
          add(buttonSix = new MyButton("6"));
          add(buttonOne = new MyButton("7"));
          add(buttonTwo = new MyButton("8"));
          add(buttonThree = new MyButton("9"));
          add(buttonZero = new MyButton("0"));
          add(buttonDecimal  = new MyButton("."));
          add(buttonZeroZero = new MyButton("00"));
class MyButton extends Button implements
ActionListener{
          String string;
          public MyButton(String string){
               super(string);
               this.string=string;
               addActionListener(this);
          public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
               outputArea.append(string);
