Java gui help!!!

[hamsalekha]

Hi am working on a chat gui using java.
the problem is am able to retrieve a list my friends from my xmpp server and display it in the form of text in the textbox of my client gui.
now i want to actually display them as button so that i can use actionlistener on click of the button.
i want this list of buttons to be added automatically as my friends on the server add up.
such that on click of the corresponding button i should get a private window where i can one-one chat ..

any suggestions in this regard is highly appreciated.
thank you

It should be fairly easy for you to change the code that adds to the textbox into code that adds a new button.
I would make it a method that takes whatever data you think the button/action listener needs and returns a button which can then be added to the container.
