CardLayout manager

[abetemari]

I am stuck here people. How can I use the cardLayout manager to display different panels on the same frame depending on a menu selection? SOS

[PHP]class BookStoreFrame extends JFrame
{
    public BookStoreFrame()
    {
        
        setTitle("XX Book Store");
        setPreferredSize(new Dimension(800, 400));
        setResizable(true);
        setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
        this.add(new WelcomePanel());
        this.pack();
        centerWindow(this);
        
        JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();

        // Add the menubar to the frame
        setJMenuBar(menuBar);

        //JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
        JMenu saleMenu = new JMenu("Sales");
        JMenu returnMenu = new JMenu("Returns");
        JMenu inventoryMenu = new JMenu("Inventory");
        JMenu printMenu = new JMenu("Print");
        menuBar.add(saleMenu);
        menuBar.add(returnMenu);
        menuBar.add(inventoryMenu);
        menuBar.add(printMenu);
        // Create and add simple menu item to one of the drop down menu
        JMenuItem saleAction = new JMenuItem("Make sales");
        JMenuItem returnAction = new JMenuItem("Process Returns");
        JMenuItem addNewBookAction = new JMenuItem("Add New Book");
        JMenuItem checkInventoryAction = new JMenuItem("Availability");
        JMenuItem printDailyAction = new JMenuItem("Print Daily Report");
        

        saleMenu.add(saleAction);
        returnMenu.add(returnAction);
        inventoryMenu.add(addNewBookAction);
        inventoryMenu.add(checkInventoryAction);
        printMenu.add(printDailyAction);
        
    
        saleAction.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
            {
                //salesPanel
           }
        });

         returnAction.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
            {
                //returnPanel
            }
        });
         
        addNewBookAction.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
            {
                //inventoryPanel
            }
        });  
        
        checkInventoryAction.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
            {
                //inventoryPanel
            }
        });  
        printDailyAction.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
        {
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
            {
                //printPanel
            }
        });  
        
  }
[/PHP]

How is this different from the thread that you already have active on this question? Which thread should we address answers to? Please let's prevent needless splitting of a discussion.

They are the same but the change in title of the post , I thought, would more appropriately describe the topic. Sorry for any confusion/unnecessary duplication
