Is there a way to bypass the layout manager for a given component in Swing? Something similar to position=”absolute” in CSS. Null layout is not an option.
I have an existing GUI which I can’t modify and uses different kinds of layouts and I need to add a button a the top right corner of the screen.
If you can’t modify the existing GUI, including the top-level containing
JFrame, you might be out of luck.If you can modify the root container, you can achieve what you want with a layered pane. You can put your existing
JTabbedPanein a lower layer, and add your button on a higher layer (and there you can use anulllayout +setLocation()).
