Hello,

I have a JTabbedPane for which I use tabPane.setTabLayoutPolicy(JTabbedPane.WRAP_TAB_LA YOUT);

There is also a SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT but I do not like either of them. I have googled but cannot seem to find anything about custom layout policies, only custom components and tabs etc.

As I often need to have upto 50 tabs open I was hoping for something a bit like the scroll layout with the two buttons on the right but instead of these buttons scrolling left and right I'd like to get a pop up style menu with all of the non visible tabs listed. Maybe change the button to contain ">>" like you see in other applications.

Does anyone know if it is even possible to create a custom layout policy and if so how I might go about it? Any links or advice would be much appreciated.

Leanne.
