Jump to PostYou create a subclass of JPanel and override its paintComponent method to draw your image when the panel is repainted. Then add your components to the panel to display then in front of the image.
Sounds complicated, but the code is quite simple.
Jump to PostJPanel is very standard stuff. Just add all your controls to the JPanel, then add the JPanel to your JFrame. Later on you will discover all kinds of reasons why you want to do it like that.
Jump to PostHi!
If you want to set image as your background on your Container (JFrame,Jpanel,etc..,), set an JLable 1st then place the image as an icon onthe JLable, fille the lable with your container.., Thats all..,
Have A Happy Day..,
