What do you mean by 'JTabbedPane with 4 pages'. Is a page a tab panel or what? If so, why do you want a JFrame in a tab panel?

I think if i understand your question correctely, this is actually what you want.<br><A HREF="

on how to use JTabbedPane, as far as i can tell you would build your project this way.<br>JFrame-&gt;JPanel-&gt;JTabbedPane-&gt;Then you can switch between multiple components, which would allow for a variety of buttons, checkboxes in seperate order.&nbsp;&nbsp;<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.&nbsp;&nbsp;I think it messes with swings handling of the graphic components ??????????<br><br>good luck and email me if you get to work <br> <p>ackka<br><a href=mailto:tmoses@iname.com>tmoses@iname.com</a><br><a href=

Right; you're only supposed to use a null layout manager if no other layout manager can do what you want. Layout Managers are much more efficient in the way they handle and position things, and chances are can do what you want with (in the end) less trouble. <p>Liam Morley<br><a href=mailto:lmorley@wpi.edu>lmorley@wpi.edu</a><br><a href=
