paintComponent(Graphics graphics)

Show all headers | View raw

Hi 

I hope I can explain this clearly without getting into too much detail as the code in question is a couple of thousand of lines.  So to begin, I have a JPanel to which I add JLabels and JComponents using JPanel's add() method.  It works fine, but now I would like to print an image ON TOP of the added JLabels and JComponents.  For this I manipulate my JPanel's paintComponent(Graphics graphics) method.  In it I have something of the following sort:

paintComponent(Graphics graphics){
  Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D)graphics.create();
  g.drawImage(image, 200, 200, null);
  g.dispose
}


This works in that in my JPanel I now have my "image" appear at position (200,200), BUT it appears underneath all my JLabels and JComponents.
HOW can I make it appear ON TOP of the JLabels and JComponents in my JPanel?

Many Thanks
Doug
