Hello,

MigLayout doesn't seems to be happy with JLayeredPane
especially with the method add
With the JLayeredPane add can use integer for the Layer
add(Component, layer, position):

Thanks,

Olivier

MigLayout does not make any distinction on the type of container and thus is shouldn't matter that it's a JLayeredPane. Can you make a snippet that shows the problem compared to a normal panel?

Cheers,
Mikael

Hi Mikael,

Here we go.
A small example with JLayeredPane.
If you uncomment the part with MigLayout, it just doesn't run.

Thanks,

Olivier

PS : Any new on your blog?

oops.
I just realized that this post is in the wrong Forum.
Sorry about that.

Olivier

Hello Olivier,

you have mixed up the arguments.. The second argument is not the layer index, it is the constrains for MigLayout. The third is the layer index.

There will probably be an update on the blog soon. I haven't had as much time as I would like lately and the WebStart demo is not done. It will be GUI only though, no real functionality..

Cheers,
Mikael

Hi Mikael,

But in the doc :
http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.5.0/docs/api ... dPane.html

They give some example :

"Here are some examples using the method add(Component, layer, position): Calling add(5x, 5, -1) results in:

5a, 5b, 5c, 5x, 2a, 2b, 2c, 1a

Calling add(5z, 5, 2) results in:

5a, 5b, 5z, 5c, 5x, 2a, 2b, 2c, 1a

Calling add(3a, 3, 7) results in:

5a, 5b, 5z, 5c, 5x, 3a, 2a, 2b, 2c, 1a "

Is it a specific case for JLayeredPane?

Thanks,

Olivier

But the method you call is JLayerPane.add(Component comp, Object constraints, int index)

The Docs seems to be totally wrong..
