Graphics and Textfields

Presuming they are added to the same container and the layout makes the components intersect: they get painted one after another in the order they where added.

// comp0 will be painted above comp1 if they intersect:

container.add(comp0);

container.add(comp1);

or:

container.removeAll();

container.add(comp0);// components: only comp0

// adding comp1 "above" comp0 like this:

container.add(comp1, 0);// components comp1, comp0

container.add(comp2, 1);

// now you have the order comp1, comp2, comp0

Are your components realy intersecting?

If you want two components to intersect, the last of them will be partly hidden.

import java.awt.*;

class myPan extends Panel

{

Button but1;

Button but2;

public void doLayout()

{

but1.setBounds(0, 10, 40, 40);

but2.setBounds(20,5, 40, 50);

}

myPan()

{

but1=new Button("but1");

but2=new Button("but2");

add(but1);

add(but2);

}

}

In the code above, but1 will be partly hidden by but2.
