im creating a swing GUI, but i want the size of the window to remain constant... im using gridBag layout... i have tried this.setSize(500, 500) but it doesnt help... also have tried to change the size of the panel... i understand how the layout managers are supposed to work, i have done gui's in TCL/TK... but how can i set the size of the window?? padding?? blank frames??? thanks

try getContentPane().setSize(x,y). something it's not always sure what 'this' is. Also check the java API at java.sun.com, there's a bunch of tutorials on swing and applications
