Hi,
 I'd like construct a JFrame with two JPanels,
one using no LayoutManager, as shown below.

When I construct my JFrame with the NORTH JPanel
having no LayoutManager, I'm not able to see my JLabel.

How can I show my JLabel with this arrangement.

Thanks for your help.

public class LayoutTest
{
 LayoutTest() {
   JFrame frame = new JFrame("LayoutTest");
   JPanel displayPanel = new JPanel();
   JPanel controlPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());

   // comment following - label is shown
   displayPanel.setLayout(null);

   JLabel label = new JLabel("Label");
   Dimension d = label.getPreferredSize();
   label.setBounds(75, 75, d.width, d.height);
   displayPanel.add(label);

   frame.setSize(200, 200);
   frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
   frame.add(displayPanel, BorderLayout.NORTH);
   frame.add(controlPanel, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
   frame.setVisible(true);
 }

 public static void main(String[] args)
 {
   @SuppressWarnings("unused")
   LayoutTest test = new LayoutTest();
 }
}
