1.I would suggest you use the Grid Layout
2. For the menu bar : http://www.java2s.com/Tutorial/Java/0240__Swing/CreatingJMenuBarComponents.htm
3. for the image :

JLabel pic1;
    JLabel pic1 = new JLabel("",JLabel.LEFT);
    pic1.setIcon(new ImageIcon("300.jpg"));
con.add(pic1);
 pic1.setBounds(0,0,903,763);

@TIM_M_91 great suggestion +1, but remove code line (from your answer)

pic1.setBounds(0,0,903,763);

then you'll k*i*l*l used GridLayout

I would like to ask you another question .
I want to do a list of property but don't how to do it I just know I have to use picklist . and also a pop window (For sale check the picture in my previous message) that has a search bar with several option (number of bedroom ,location etc..) and i would like to link between them as well

If I understand correctly for your list easiest way is to use a array combobox if you are not connecting to a database check out :

http://www.roseindia.net/java/example/java/swing/AddRemoveItemFromCombo.shtml

2. Can you confirm that you want this: For you search bar when you click on an item it displays the correct information?

If so you just need to adapted the code in the link above. If that isn't what you wanted can you explain it a bit better

[djescobar]

Yes the combobox will be good and for my search bar is exactly what i want but which line a have to modifier

PS sorry for my English I'm french.

[djescobar]

I did the combo box thanks to you .When i hit the add button i want to display a pop window that have different type properties(number of the room , type of property,price etc..)
