import java.awt.CardLayout;

public class Carousel extends JPanel {
public Carousel() {
setLayout(new CardLayout(0, 0));
b.setSize(100, 100);
}

public Component add(Component c) {
add(c, "");
return c;
}

public void paint(Graphics g) {
}

public void paintComponents(Graphics g) {

}

public void paintChildren(Graphics g) {
System.out.println("ss");
}

public void paintImmediately(int x, int y, int w, int h) {
}

public void paintImmediately(Rectangle r) {
}

public void repaint(long tm, int x, int y, int width, int height) {

}
}

A component in a container such as a panel paints itself separately, not
as part of the panel's paint. If the area is obscured and then
uncovered, a repaint event is sent to the panel first, then to its
children. Even if the panel itself ignores the event the children
generally won't.

you would gave to block the paint methods of all the children which
might be invoked independently of the JPanel container if their values
changed.

I trust you are just experimenting. The proper way to hide things is
with setVisible( false ).
