Hi,

I'm trying to add a JPanel to a JLayeredPane, but it unfortunately
never appears...
However when I add a JLabel to this layered pane, it works fine...

Could anyone tell me which properties shall I set to this JPanel, so
that it appears?

Thank you very much,

Greetings from France !

Mathieu.

Here is the problem illustration :

import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JLayeredPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;

public class TestLayerPane extends JPanel {

public TestLayerPane() {
JLayeredPane layeredPane = new JLayeredPane();
layeredPane.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(200, 200));

layeredPane.add( getLabel( Color.red, 30), new Integer(0));

//Works fine :
//layeredPane.add( getLabel( Color.yellow, 20), new Integer(1));

//Doesn't work :
JPanel subPanel = new JPanel();
subPanel.add( getLabel( Color.yellow, 20) );
layeredPane.add( subPanel, new Integer(1));

add( layeredPane );
}

public JLabel getLabel( Color color , int position ){
JLabel label = new JLabel();
label.setOpaque(true);
label.setBounds( position, position, 5*position, 5*position);
label.setBackground( color );
return label;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setContentPane(new TestLayerPane());
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
