hi,
I've created a frame inherit from Jframe and added components of those
types:

JLabel
JdbNavToolBar
JdbTextField
FieldControl (jbcl)
1 FieldControl not connecting to any dataset.
JdbTable

I use Swing 1.0.3 now.

Descriptions of my run-time problem with different L&Fs:

a) My program runs and looks well when I use Windows L&F.

b) When I use Motif L&F, those
- JdbNavToolBar components appear well.
- both JdbTextField and FieldControl components only show the letters in
them, but the white rectangular backgrounds of the corresponding
components become transparent  And their border disappear.  They look
like labels now.
- JdbTable component appears well.

c) When I use Metal L&F, those
- I only see the frame, in addition to that FieldControl not connecting
to any dataset.  All the rest components including JLabel disappear.

Are these the problem of L&F classes coding?  Or am I missing some
points to use swing components appropriately?

Thank you.

KY Chow
