Yes, definitely what he said: use a layout manager.

I hope this doesn't sound rude, but if you're calculating button
positions based on window size, you're doing it wrong and will end up
wasting a lot of time to produce something that won't work right.

Use a layout manager:

You'll have to spend a little time learning how they work, but in the
end you'll get done sooner and have better results.
