I think if i understand your question correctely, this is actually what you want.<br><A HREF="
TARGET="_new">
on how to use JTabbedPane, as far as i can tell you would build your project this way.<br>JFrame->JPanel->JTabbedPane->Then you can switch between multiple components, which would allow for a variety of buttons, checkboxes in seperate order. <br>Again, i didn't test this code so im am not positive

<br><br>One other thing you can try, if you are having trouble getting the buttons,checkboxes to look correctely, you can try this hack.<br>class Proj6Panel extends extends JPanel <br><br>Proj6Panel()<br>{<br>setLayout(null);<br><br>}<br>then in the pain component function you can position buttons etc.. with an x,y,width,height positioning<br>public void paintComponent(Graphics screen)<br>{<br>JButton whatever = new JButton();<br>whatever.setBounds(x,y,width,height);<br>}<br>In the book i got this from it said only to do it if there was no other way to do it. I think it messes with swings handling of the graphic components ??????????<br><br>good luck and email me if you get to work
