I’m in the need of a translucent AWT component/container to be placed on top

  • 0

I’m in the need of a translucent AWT component/container to be placed on top of other components to receive the mouse events.

The problem here is to create a translucent component. My investigation so far showed that Swing has the possiblity to do setOpaque(false) on e.g. a JPanel. Is there something similiar for AWT?

The idea is to make a ScrollPane scrollable by simply clicking somewhere and moving the mouse around. Thats why I need a transparent component to place it above all other components.

Long story short, I need a translucent component, no matter which one, to place on top of other elements to receive the mouse events.

Thanks in advance

    AFAIK not possible correctly for prehistoric AWT Container and Components you can to try that with changing this code from Swing to the AWT, Translucency is supported for Swing JComponents only
