Hello all, I am trying to put two components Jeditorpane and Jtextarea
in Jlayeredpane. I am using Netbeans. I added jeditorpane and
jtextarea in jlayeredpane and two buttons. When i click on button1
then it should show message "Hello world doing nice".

private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
{
    // TODO add your handling code here:
    jTextArea1.setText("");
    jTextArea1.setOpaque(true);
    jLayeredPane1.moveToFront(jEditorPane1);
    jEditorPane1.setText("Hello world doing nice");
}
and when click on button2 then it should show message "Hello world not
doing good".

private void jButton2ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
{
    // TODO add your handling code here:
    jEditorPane1.setText("");
    jEditorPane1.setOpaque(true);
    jLayeredPane1.moveToFront(jTextArea1);
    jTextArea1.setText("Hello world not doing good");
}
But when i click on button1 then it shows message "Hello world doing
nice" but when i click on button2 then it does not show message "Hello
world not doing good" as it should move the component to front. Could
some one please tell me how to solve this. Here is source code which
is partially generated by netbeans and partially written by me. Thank
you.
