I'm changing some code I have to use a layered pane in a place where
it used to use a decedent of JPanel. I'm adding the old JPanel to

exactly the same place.
This seems reasonable, since that's the only thing it is holding, but
I can't get it to work. I should note that this component is being
held by a JScrollPanel. So basically I want the new JLayeredPane to
look just like the old JPanel to the JScrollPanel, and I want it to
look just like the JScrollPanel to the JPanel.
I think it might just be a mater of getting the layout set right.
Any help would be appreciated.
Problem solved. I just used a 1x1 grid in the LayeredPane and it gave
me what I wanted. It works perfectly.
Thanks anyway.
I spoke too quickly. It looks like I really need a null layout. So
what I need is a way to get the JLayeredPane to work like it has a
GridLayout while using a null layout.
Huh? Never ever use a null layout out, I'd say.
I couldn't quite make any sense of what you wrote upthreads. I think I
understood what you were unable to achieve, overall, but I'm left
guessing why you were unable, or, say, how you noticed you were unable
to achieve it.
Mind leaving some screenshots somewhere? Some code would be neat, too.
Actually I figured out the problem but the client decided not to go with
it, so the code is trash anyway.
Sometimes you need a null layout when using a layered pane. It allows
you to place components directly on top of each other. The Desktop pane
uses a null layout as well.
