read JPanel content

Question

Is it possible to read the content of a JPanel?

In my situation, I've got a main JPanel that I called container, and 3 other JPanels inside it: p1, p2 and p3.
I've also created a class that extends JPanel for a little virtual keyboard (26 buttons) and this implements ActionListener.

The p1 is to display the title of the game, p2 is the virtual keyboard and p3 should display the value of the button I clicked on.

My class VirtualKeyboard has a constructor that accepts an object of type JPanel (to get the container and hopefully its contents).

Many thanks for your answers.

for what reason do you want to "read" the content? (maybe there is an other solution for it, you did not thought about) — Simulant, Nov 16 '12 at 16:28
Technically, yes, but not a practical approach. See also this [Q&A](http://stackoverflow.com/q/12023334/230513). — trashgod, Nov 16 '12 at 19:58

check out JPanel#getComponent(int) to access the members that have been added to a Container(JPanel is implementing Container).
