I’m working in NetBeans, trying to do my project, but I have encountered a problem. Basically, I’m building a digital timer, milliseconds are displayed as as 7 textfields arranged in a shape of 8.
Like this:
_
| |
_
| |
_
for each millisecond I make certain text fields invisible to display different number. Than I have a one second Display which (when milliseconds count up to 10) displays seconds e.g. 1, 2, 3… but for some reason when milliseconds reach 10 a middle textfield disappears and doesn’t show up again. I have no idea what could cause this problem.
Here is my code:

As madth3 has pointed out, once a component is made invisible, it’s no longer considered by most layout managers when they calculate there layouts.
While I can think of 100 different ways to approach this problem, the following example uses a simple
JPanelthat acts as a segment and uses a funky alpha color trick to “hide” segments that doesn’t effect the existing layout.
