Suppose there are some data fields I am about to edit.
On the form, I can click an OK button to save data or an ADVANCED>> button which will expand the form with 3 more fields (for example).
Is there anything that can help me implement this type of scenario?
 
A simple desktop app form like:
-------------------------------------
Firstname: [______________]
Lastname: [______________]

[Details>>][Save]
-------------------------------------
And when i click the Details button the form should look like this:

-------------------------------------
Firstname: [______________]
Lastname: [______________]

State: [______________]
Provence: [______________]

[Hide Details<<][Save]
-------------------------------------
 
Assumming you're using Swing for your app, you can add the extra components to a JPanel, and make it visible or not when the user press the Detais button.

Cheers,
Dian
