I have a button that I'm causing to appear a layer or two above a cell
of a gridcontrol (using JLayeredPane).  The button shows but doesn't
take mouse events -- all mouse events are captured by the GridControl.
I can, however, get the button to hear keyevents.  How can I get my
button to hear the mouse?

Here's the relevant code:  Thanks --a

      Rectangle cell = grid.getCellRect(grid.getSubfocus());
      int x = cell.x + grid.getViewport().getViewPosition().x +
grid.getX();
      int y = cell.y + grid.getViewport().getViewPosition().y +
grid.getY();
      x = x + cell.width;//actually these location things are a little
more weird, but why confuse things here?
      y = y + cell.height;//they're weird in order to get them to show
up in the appropriate cell
      lookup_button.setBounds(x,y,cell.height,cell.height);
      layeredPane.add(lookup_button, 2);
      lookup_button.requestFocus();//this allows the button to
immediately capture key events.
