Can I set a button's position with exact (x,y) coordinate, just like when I draw something with the class Graphics?

Hi Henry,

Did you try the setBounds(Rectangle r) method. The Buttons new position is specified by r.x and r.y, and its new size is specified by r.width and r.height.

Also you need to set the Layout of the Panel where you are adding the button, to "null", but ofcourse you know the disadvantages of setting a null layout.
