Overlapping of Panel?

> If you want to have two panels overlapping, generally you can't do that.

Of course you can:

import java.awt.Color;

import java.awt.Dimension;

import java.awt.Font;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

import javax.swing.JLabel;

import javax.swing.JPanel;

import javax.swing.border.LineBorder;

public class FrameTest {

public FrameTest() {

JFrame frame = new JFrame() ;

frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

frame.setTitle("<title>") ;

frame.setContentPane(getMainPanel());

frame.setSize(400,400);

frame.setVisible(true);

}

private JPanel getMainPanel() {

Color color1 = new Color(240, 0, 0, 200);

Color color2 = new Color(0, 200, 0, 150);

JLabel label1 = new JLabel("label 1 from subPanel1");

label1.setForeground(color1);

Font font = label1.getFont().deriveFont(48f);

label1.setFont(font);

Dimension dim = label1.getPreferredSize();

JLabel label2 = new JLabel("label 2 from subPanel2");

label2.setForeground(color2);

label2.setFont(font);

JPanel subPanel1 = new JPanel();

subPanel1.setBorder(new LineBorder(color1));

subPanel1.add(label1);

subPanel1.setBounds(10, 10, dim.width + 4, dim.height + 2);

subPanel1.setOpaque(false);

JPanel subPanel2 = new JPanel();

subPanel2.setBorder(new LineBorder(color2));

subPanel2.add(label2);

subPanel2.setBounds(12, 18, dim.width + 4, dim.height + 2);

subPanel2.setOpaque(false);

JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel();

mainPanel.setLayout(null);

mainPanel.add(subPanel1, 0);

mainPanel.add(subPanel2, 1);

return mainPanel;

}

public static void main(String[] args) {

new FrameTest();

}

}

Don't feel offensed, I just wanted to correct your affirmation... If it suits the OP's requirement is not clearly defined for the moment :)
