component on a background image

Hello

I would like to know how to display a JComponent in a JApplet.

I created the button and added it in the JApplet. I overrided the paint method, and I am using an image as a background.

The background is displayed on top of the component, which makes it invisible.

Is there a way of displaying the component on top of the background image?

Regards

The best way is probably using a JLayeredPane.Never overwrite the paint method in Swing!

Thank youI will try to use that.You said not to overwrite the paint method. The only way I know hot to draw shapes, or images in a component is by overriding the paint method.Is there any other way of doing it?Regards

In Swing you override the painComponent, and usually you have to invoke super.paintComponent(g) as the first statement
