Layered Panes

[teckno101]

I would like to add a JDrawPanel on top of all my other JPanels/Container.

This is what I have so far, I want to add a JDrawPanel on top of all of that, and still have access to the Fields (below would work too).

Thanks in advance.

import javax.swing.*;  //JButton

import java.awt.*;  //Container and Layouts
import java.awt.event.*; //Listeners
import java.text.NumberFormat; //CurrencyFormatter

public class CheckOut extends JFrame
{
	public static void main (String[] args)
	{
		CheckOut window = new CheckOut();
		window.setVisible(true); //makes the window visible
		window.setResizable(false);
	}
	
	public CheckOut()
	{
		setTitle("Beach Fee - Check Out v1.0"); //sets the title of window to Bank Teller
    	setSize(400,250); //Sets the size of the window
    	setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); //Makes it so the "X" button works
    	setLocationRelativeTo(null);//creates GUI in center of screen
    	
    	JLayeredPane content = new JLayeredPane();
    	content.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    	
    	JPanel north = new JPanel();
    	north.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3));
    	content.add(north, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    	
    	JPanel center = new JPanel();
    	center.setLayout(new GridLayout(2,6));
    	content.add(center, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    	
    	JPanel south = new JPanel();
    	south.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3));
    	content.add(south, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
    	
    	JTextField taggerID = new JTextField ("Tagger ID");
    	JLabel lastName = new JLabel ("Last Name");
    	JLabel firstName = new JLabel ("First Name");
    	JLabel dailyLabel = new JLabel ("Dist. Daily:");
    	JLabel weeklyLabel = new JLabel ("Weekly:");
    	JLabel seasonalLabel = new JLabel ("Seasonal:");
    	JLabel daily = new JLabel ("0", JLabel.CENTER);
    	JLabel weekly = new JLabel("0", JLabel.CENTER);
    	JLabel seasonal = new JLabel("0", JLabel.CENTER);
    	JLabel ldsold = new JLabel("Sold Daily");
    	JLabel lwsold = new JLabel("Weekly");
    	JLabel lssold = new JLabel("Seasonal");
    	JTextField dsold = new JTextField("50", JLabel.CENTER);
    	JTextField wsold = new JTextField("25", JLabel.CENTER);
    	JTextField ssold = new JTextField("0", JLabel.CENTER);
    	JLabel lret = new JLabel("Returned     $");
    	JTextField ret = new JTextField("Amount calculated");
    	JLabel off = new JLabel("+/-");
    	
    	lastName.setForeground(Color.white);
    	firstName.setForeground(Color.white);
    	dailyLabel.setForeground(Color.white);
    	weeklyLabel.setForeground(Color.white);
    	seasonalLabel.setForeground(Color.white);

    	daily.setForeground(Color.white);
    	weekly.setForeground(Color.white);

    	north.add(taggerID);
    	north.add(lastName);
    	north.add(firstName);

    	center.add(wsold);
    	center.add(lssold);
    	center.add(ssold);
    	south.add(lret);
    	south.add(ret);
    	south.add(off);
    	
    	content.setBackground(Color.blue);
    	south.setBackground(Color.blue);
    	center.setBackground(Color.blue);
    	north.setBackground(Color.blue);
	}
}

Since it is not part of standard Java, I have to ask: What exactly is a JDrawPanel? Also, you may wish to create and post a paragraph describing in greater detail what you're trying to do.

edit: Also, I don't see where you're adding anything to the JFrame or its contentPane, so nothing will be visible. Also, I think that JLayeredPanes typically use no layout managers (null), but I could be wrong on this point.
