Take a look at The Glass Pane parts of this tutorial:

<http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/rootpane.html>

"The glass pane is useful when you want to be able to catch events or

example, you can deactivate mouse events for a multi-component region by 
having the glass pane intercept the events."
