The only time you should set a null layout is if you're going to
manage the positions and sizes of your components on your own. This
is generally a bad idea, and you should make sure that you're not
overlooking a better solution...

However, myContainer.setLayout(null); should do the trick.

If you post a message here (or comp.lang.java.gui) about what you're
ultimate goal is, someone might tell you a better approach.

Good luck,
Daniel.

With Swing that becomes jFrame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
