Starting GridBagLayout from top left corner in Java Swing

Question

I\'m new to Java Swing and I have been struggling to start the GridBagLayout from top left corner so that c.gridx=0 c.gridy=0 will put my object on the top left corner.

Answer 1

a quick and simple way:

add a blank JLabel to end of page:

    // your code goes here
    gbc.weightx = 1;
    gbc.weighty = 1;

    bg.add(new JLabel(" "), gbc);  // blank JLabel
