Need Help Fast Please

Question

Why does this code not do what I want to happen?
I have a 7 non functional buttons above the buttons for the days in the month and I would like to be able to layout the buttons starting on the day that the month begins and ending where it ends.
Like in the microsoft windows calander.
Any ideas as to how I'd do this?

Container c = getContentPane();
c.setLayout(new BoxLayout(c, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));don't code like above try something like...
