Eclipse WindowBuilder, overlapping JPanels

问题

I'm attempting to overlap JPanel instances. Put a panel directly on another, in the exact same position and exact size. Every time I do this it moves the other panel to the other side or underneath, the previous panel is inside another much larger one and has buttons in it.

How would I do this? Keep in mind it's using the Window Builder tool.

You might also want to look at OverlayLayout, seen here. It's not included in the conventional gallery, but it may be of interest.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.OverlayLayout;

/** @see http://stackoverflow.com/a/13437388/230513 */
public class OverlaySample {

    public static void main(String args[]) {
        JFrame frame = new JFrame("Overlay Sample");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        panel.setLayout(new OverlayLayout(panel));
        panel.add(create(1, "One", Color.gray.brighter()));
        panel.add(create(2, "Two", Color.gray));
        panel.add(create(3, "Three", Color.gray.darker()));
        frame.add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setLocationByPlatform(true);
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    private static JLabel create(final int index, String name, Color color) {
        JLabel label = new JLabel(name) {
            private static final int N = 64;

            @Override
            public boolean isOpaque() {
                return true;
            }

            @Override
            public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
                return new Dimension(index * N, index * N);
            }

            @Override
            public Dimension getMaximumSize() {
                return new Dimension(index * N, index * N);
            }
        };
        label.setHorizontalAlignment(JLabel.RIGHT);
        label.setVerticalAlignment(JLabel.BOTTOM);
        label.setBackground(color);
        label.setAlignmentX(0.0f);
        label.setAlignmentY(0.0f);
        return label;
    }
}

Use a JLayeredPane (image below from the linked tutorial).

Put a JPanel directly on another,

..or a CardLayout as shown here..

..depending on which of those two you mean, since I understand them as quite different effects.

回答3:

Use a JDesktopPane (or its superclass JLayeredPane) as its content, adding to the pane.

See How to Use Internal Frames for examples.

Here you can see a nice way of letting components overlay, and pop up when the cursor rests on it:

import javax.swing.*;

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class ShiftedStackPanel extends JPanel implements MouseListener,
                                                            ActionListener {

    private static final long serialVersionUID = 1988454751139668485L;

    private int layer;
    private JDesktopPane desktopPane;
    private Timer timer;
    private Component currentComponent;
    private int layerOfCurrent;
    private int shiftDivision;

    public ShiftedStackPanel() {
        this(4);
    }

    public ShiftedStackPanel(int shift) {
        shiftDivision = shift;

        setLayout(new BorderLayout(0, 0));

        desktopPane = new JDesktopPane();
        desktopPane.setBackground(SystemColor.window);
        super.add(desktopPane);
        timer = new Timer(1000, this);
        timer.setRepeats(false);

    }

    public Component add(Component c) {
        Dimension dim = c.getPreferredSize();
        c.setBounds(
                (desktopPane.getComponentCount() * (dim.width / shiftDivision)),
                0, dim.width, dim.height);
        desktopPane.add(c, new Integer(++layer));
        c.addMouseListener(this);
        return c;
    }

    public void remove(Component c) {
        throw new IllegalArgumentException(
                "Removal of component, not yet supported.");
        // FIXME: allow removal, and shift all latter comps, to left
    }

    public void removeAll() {
        desktopPane.removeAll();
    }

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        JFrame f = new JFrame("JFrame Wrapper");
        ShiftedStackPanel p;
        f.setContentPane(p = new ShiftedStackPanel(4));
        p.add(new JTextField("ABCDEFGHI"));
        p.add(new JTextField("DEFGHIJKL"));
        p.add(new JTextField("GHIJKLMNO"));
        f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        f.setVisible(true);
        f.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(400, 200));
        f.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    }

    @Override
    public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent evt) {
        if (currentComponent != null) {
            Component c = (Component) evt.getSource();
            currentComponent = c;
            layerOfCurrent = desktopPane.getLayer(c);
            desktopPane.remove(c);
            desktopPane.add(c, new Integer(100));
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent evt) {
        timer.start();
        Component c = (Component) evt.getSource();
        currentComponent = c;
        layerOfCurrent = desktopPane.getLayer(c);
    }

    @Override
    public void mouseExited(MouseEvent evt) {
        if ((currentComponent != null) && currentComponent == evt.getSource()) {
            desktopPane.remove(currentComponent);
            desktopPane.add(currentComponent, new Integer(layerOfCurrent));
            currentComponent = null;
            timer.stop();
        }
    }

    @Override
    public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {
        // TODO Auto-generated method stub

    }

    @Override
    public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {

        desktopPane.remove(currentComponent);
        desktopPane.add(currentComponent, new Integer(100));
    }
}

Still has some problems, when using components that require focus, but should work well with JLabel, and JPanel.
