Java SE (Java Platform, Standard Edition)

Hi,

I am using a grid layout where each cell is a panel. Here I want to
set size of each panel to be equal irrespective of any. But it is not obliging the setSize().

no of row in grid - 4
no of columns - 4

each cell is a panel. each panel has a label.

panel.setSize(parent.getWidth(), parent.getWidth()/4); // not working. Size is adjusting to the length of the label.

I want to force the size of the panel to our preferred size.

Note: In swing we can use JPanel.setPreferredSize(). Unfortunately I cannot use Swing components. Requirement is awt only.

Any help in this is highly appreciated.

Thanks
Kishore
