BorderLayout - child component remains visible after adding another component
问题 I try to do the following thing: Add a component to a JFrame with a BorderLayout Add another component to the JFrame I would expect the new component to 'overwrite' the old component, since I'm using a BorderLayout . This works if I overwrite the old component before I call pack() . Now if I add the 2nd component after I call pack() , both components remain visible. Example: public class Test extends JFrame{ public Test(){ setLayout(new BorderLayout()); add(new JLabel("Quite a long text"));
