How to set JLabel over(in) JLabel in Netbeans only using designer

Can you tell me please how to put Jlabel over/in another JLabel, but only using
Netbeans designer.
I make new form, drag 1st JLabek into it, i set icon (background image), and now
I want to drag new JLabel to be shown over 1st JLabel.
I need just a tip now to do this in designer. I have a code for this, but as I said i would like to know is it possible to do with designer
thanx

Yes, actually you can do it pretty easy with designer BUT you're going to need JPanel with null layout
Create form using netbeans (right click on package, new - JFrame Form...
Drag and drop panel
MOST IMPORTANT: right click on panel from navigator -set Layout -null Layout
now you can drag and drop your labels and put it one on another

How to load Jpanel in a Jframe using button click (Netbeans)

I'm using netbeans IDE and I created a Jframe with two Jpanels one is for Jbuttons and other one is for load another Jpanels to it when clicks those buttons.
I tried to do it from buttonclick action.
Jpanel2 j2=new Jpanel2();
JPanel1.add(j2);
j2.setVisible(True);
but this code is not working. I want to know how can I do this.
(I think this is also same as loading JinternelFrames)

Try to call revalidate() method.

Draw a JPane in JFrame

I have search on internet and found a lot of information about drawing in Java. But when I add new JFrame class in Netbeans then I cannot add a own JPane in the JFrame. Hopefully somebody can help me with this issue/question.
Drawing the JPane is possible when I make a new JFrame in a class, but I would like to use the design view in Netbeans. That is not possible when I make a new JFrame.
I look forward to receiving an answer.

It looks like you made a JFrame instance yourself, and then tried to add a JPane(l) to it using NetBeans swing builder. This wont work. Try creating a new swing class using the swing builder and let netbeans make the Jframe.
Also, make sure you set a correct layout for your JFrame.
Also, like BenCole said, I think you mean a JPanel, not a JPane.

As an alternative, create your own top level container and add your designer panel to its content pane. Here's a simple example. In this way you can limit the use of the designer to a single panel, while you explore other layouts.

How to switch bewteen panels in WindowBuilder (Java)

i'm using Windowbuilder in Eclipse indigo.
I have a main JPanel, and I want to add a new Panel which will popup when I click a button.
How can I see the new Panel insted of the main panel in the Design frame?
thanks!

There should be a window that is part of the Structure View called "Components". Click on the new JPanel from there. I did this a while ago but I do not currently have windowbuilder installed so I am not 100% positive. I will confirm it when I can.
Edit: Ok i took a look at it. Here's how it works. If you made a new Application Window, make sure the palette view is open (Window->Show View->Palette). Now I am pretty sure the best way to switch between panels is by using a card layout. So drag the card layout from the palette to the window. Now if you drag JPanels from the palette to getContentPane() in the components window, you can switch between those panels with buttons and such.

Each panel should be created as its own subclass of JPanel in its own file. It is a very bad idea to use inner classes for something like this. WB intentionally does not support that style.

JFrame Update problem

Please, help!
How can I update my JFrame content(add new JPanel, add button, etc) after some action take place, like press button?
Thanks!

You add the new components the same way you add them when you first create the gui eg.
existingPanel.add(new JLabel("New Label"));
Then once added you tell the container that you added to that new stuff has been added by calling revalidate(). This allows it to layout its child components according to its layout manager
existingPanel.revalidate();
