hi! i hav a panel and i m trying to remove labels from it which were added to it during run-time. but when labels are removed succesfully i m not able to use the space,left by that label,again to add any label to it.

thanks in anticipation of the solution.

here is the relevant code snippet:

1. to add label to the panel:

        JLabel jl = new JLabel();
    jl.setOpaque(true);
    jl.setIcon(new ImageIcon("D:/Project/router2.jpg"));
    jl.setBounds(x, y,jl.getPreferredSize().width,jl.getPreferredSize().height);
    for(Component c :lcomponent)
      {       flag=true;
              Rectangle r4=c.getBounds();
              int x1=(int) r4.getX();
              int y1=(int) r4.getY();
              Rectangle r5 = new Rectangle(new Point(x1-60, y1-60),new Dimension(170,170));
           if(r5.contains(p)){            //To ensure that two labels do not overlap or are too close
               flag = false;             // to each other
               break;                    
           }}
           if(flag)
           {
           p2.add(jl);   //p2 is a panel
          Component c2 = p2.getComponentAt(x,y);
           p2.repaint();      
           lcomponent.add(c2);  //lcomponent is an ArrayList<Component> to store all the labels added to the panel
   
   
       }
   
   
   

   2.to remove the label:

   p2.remove(); p2.repaint();
