Adding JTextfield to JPanel over paint layer

I want to add a JTextfield to my JPanel. I am overriding the paint method and doing some drawing, because its a game.

If I am adding the JTextField it is not visible. If I know the position, I can click on it and I can even add some text, but the JTextField is flickering.

Is there any solution, that I can add a JTextField to my JPanel over the paint layer, so that is every time visible?

EDIT:

If you override paintComponent instead of paint, everything is working and you can simply add an JTextField. Thanks to trashgod.

Solution

  • Click anywhere on this AnimationTest to add a text field. Note the use of invokeLater() and the call to super.paintComponent(g). Resize the frame to see how the default layout works.
