I use NetBeans IDE to create an application using java. I want to include a JButton over a JLabel with image. Actually when I add JButton over the JLabel it would inserted but it will transparent and the name and the button didn't display. It seems the button to be added under the JLabel. How can I overcome this problem?

    So, what are you really trying to accomplish here? Layering components isn't that easy in Swing. For more information, see [How to Use Layered Panes](http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/layeredpane.html). – mre Nov 24 '13 at 19:21

    **first**, show us what you have tried, **second** Make an image depicting your requirement, upload it to some image hosting site and link it in your question. – Sage Nov 24 '13 at 19:36
  • Im using JLayeredPane if you wanna keep it simple :) – Tomas Bisciak Nov 24 '13 at 20:09
  • You can create a JButton with an image, so what is the JLabel doing for you? – Gilbert Le Blanc Nov 25 '13 at 19:51
  • An example is shown **[here](http://stackoverflow.com/questions/19198298/show-button-on-jlabel-in-swing/19198871#19198871)**. You should choose a proper layout manager based on your needs. – dic19 Nov 25 '13 at 22:27

there are two ways

  1. put image to JPanel by override paintComponent (standard way)

  2. JLabel haven't any LayoutManager in API, you have to set LayoutManager, then JLabel will be container

  • +1 for suggestions. I think the problem OP is facing is about missing `JLabel`'s layout manager. – dic19 Nov 25 '13 at 22:25

ImageIcon img = null;
class Panel extends JPanel{
    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
        super.paintComponent(g); 
        if (img == null){
            img = new ImageIcon("d:\\picture.jpg");
             g.drawImage(img.getImage(), 0, 0, null);
        }            
    }
}

//in the constructor
JButton button = new JButton( "OK");
Panel panel = new Panel();
panel.add(button);
add(panel);
