Hi all

Thanks in advance

When specifying a form or container, you can also specify the layout. There are several layout managers. You can find more information about the use of them in the Developer guide: http://www.codenameone.com/developer-guide.html from page 21.

X and Y coords are usually not used.

In a grid layout components are placed in the next 'free' row/column. Where it is placed depends on the order of components you place in the Grid Layout.

For something like that you will need to build your own layout manager or use graphics to draw your elements by overriding paint() in a component.
