Question

Hello
I read about Layouts but didn’t get which one to use for my application.
I want to add image to JPanel and place JLabel on op right corner just below the title bar.

I have written code for that but it is not working. JLabel is displayed at Centre.

My code is

// Below line adds image to Jpanel
 panel = new ImagePanel(backgroundImage);
 // I want to add below label to Jpanel
 JLabel jdesignNo=new JLabel(designNo);
 jdesignNo.setFont((new java.awt.Font("Times New Roman", 1, 30)));
 jdesignNo.setBounds(900, 100, 50, 30);
 jdesignNo.setBackground(Color.GREEN);
 panel.add(jdesignNo);
 frame.getContentPane().add(panel);
 frame.setVisible(true);

In above code i have set required location by setBound but it does not work.

How to solve this problem ?

Thanks !!!

Answer 1

Make sure you have

panel.setLayout(null);

if you wish to position the components yourself.

But identifying and using a layout manager that would fit your needs would make things easier as the complexity of your application grows.
