I have faced similar problems too when I tried to add buttions outside of init(). So I choose to do the Enable and Disable. You dont have to change the layout too. But what when to want to show a picture upon clicking the button? The picture will come on the way.

It seems setVisible doesnt work anywhere outside.

class{
Define all the swing variables as globals
main()
decideWhereToPlaceAllComponents();
updatewindow();//set visible
class ButtonListener{
onclick(){
container.remove(button);
updatewindow();
}
}

I think it will work even without updating but if it doesnt just update it.
