Label not visible on panel

[warchieflll]

Greetings all!

I've got a label, which is not visible on a panel??

	  public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e)
	  {
		  add(new JLabel ("Grootte van de bal: "));
		  System.out.println("geklikt op een verblijf met als diersoort ..." + dierSoort);
	  }

When i click on the panel, the tekst 'geklikt op een verblijf met als diersoort... ' showed up, but the label isn't visible...?

If you ever add a component to a container, you need to revalidate that container after the changes have been made. This is done by calling revalidate() on the container (assuming that it derives from JComponent). Sometimes, especially if you also have to remove components, you must call repaint() on the container as well.

Hmm... the panel is showing now indeed something, but not what I want yet... I draw a panel (with dragging). Now if I click the mouse with the revalidate(); code, the panel takes a different size...

I think that you are having issues with your container's layout manager. Which manager are you using? Also, please look at the link in my signature below on creating an SSCCE so that we can run and test your code, alter it, and better help you solve your problem.
