hey there, I want to create multiple tabbed pane i mean if user clicks on a button den a new tabbed pane shud be created for eg: in MS Excel we create as many new sheets as we want that kind of mechanism i want 2 implement in my application.its like user can create a new tab jus by clicking a button.
pls help.
i thought of using JTabbedPane or CardLayout .
Either JTabbedPane or CardLayout could work depending on whether you want the user to be able to tab back to a previous view.
Also, welcome to the forum. I request that you avoid using non-standard abbreviations here as it may make your questions difficult to interpret, especially for folks here for whom English is not a primary language.
Best of luck and again welcome!
thanks for the quick reply."abbreviation" thing i will keep that in mind.
I didnt get "to be able to tab back to a previous view" .i mean we can anytym (sorry anytime) click on any tab. ok i m confused with -do i hav to create a new tabbed pane or card layout every time a user click a button because i want the same initial view of every new tab created. i dont know whether i m making sense or not bt pls tell me.
What you do depends on what you want your GUI to do. If you want a a JTabbedPane showing several tabs and want to give the user the ability to click on a tab and show a different JPanel, then use a JTabbedPane. Otherwise if you want to change JPanels on the click of a JButton, but don't want the user swapping JPanels by clicking on tabs, then use CardLayout.
If you're still having problems, you may wish to create a small compilable runnable GUI that does nothing but creates new JPanels on button push, and then post this code here. We can then work with you on this code. This is called creating an SSCCE.
You would probably need only one JTabbedPane or CardLayout object, but would be creating new tabs or "cards" respectively.
After u asked me to create an SSCCE , i started creating one but when writing event for button i realized that i m confused with how to make multiple tabs or JPanels as per the user requirements.I mean how to make multiple panel or tabs with all the functionality which its previous tabs have and I m pretty much sure that i need to create new multiple tabs.
To create a JPanel, you'd create a new JPanel object via new JPanel(). The Swing tutorials will show you how to add this to a JTabbedPane or a CardLayout-using container.Quote:

Perhaps you might want to post what you have so far.
I just got what my problem is?? u were right I needed only one JTabbedPane or CardLayout object, but was creating new tabs or "cards" respectively.I m working on it i will let u know the result.
Cool, I'm glad to see that you're moving ahead. Best of luck, and please get back to us on this.

(i)on clicking menu item i should get a dialog box
bt on clicking menu item it opens altogether a new frame and then on that new frame the dilog box is displayed. What could be the problem.
Your code is doing what you tell it to do, and so you have a bug in your code, one that we can't help you with as we don't have your code. You will either need to debug with a debugger or println statements, or post code.
