Thread Subject: Displaying sub panels in GUI

hi i am creating a GUI with three main panels. These panels
are hidden underneath each other.
Each panel has some subpanels.
lets say three main panels are: 1 2 3
and smaller subpanels 1.1 1.2 1.3 etc
and so for second and third panel

now i want to be on panel '2', and display sub panel 1.1
with other panel '2' contents.

How and can I do that ?

I can change the visibility of main panels but not able to
do what i stated above.
Van anyone help if it is possible

Best regards

GR

If you are talking about uipanel(), then a uipanel always hides everything
"behind" it. Unless there is some mechanism at the Java level,
there is no way to set a uipanel (or any portion of it) to be
transparent.

If you need to show a portion of a different panel, then you will
either need to reparent the subpanel to be part of the current panel,
or else you will need to copyobj() to make a copy of it into the current
panel.
