I'm changing some code I have to use a layered pane in a place where it
used to use a decedent of JPanel. I'm adding the old JPanel to it, and
right now that's all it is holding. I want it to look exactly the way
it looked before, with the JPanel positioned in exactly the same place.

This seems reasonable, since that's the only thing it is holding, but I
can't get it to work. I should note that this component is being held
by a JScrollPanel. So basically I want the new JLayeredPane to look
just like the old JPanel to the JScrollPanel, and I want it to look
just like the JScrollPanel to the JPanel.

I think it might just be a mater of getting the layout set right.

Any help would be appreciated.


Problem solved. I just used a 1x1 grid in the LayeredPane and it gave
me what I wanted. It works perfectly.

Thanks anyway.


I spoke too quickly. It looks like I really need a null layout. So what
I need is a way to get the JLayeredPane to work like it has a GridLayout
while using a null layout.

I'll probably get this worked out on my own, but if you have any
comments, I'll be checking back in from time to time until morning.
