Separate Panels

[PacoDelScorcho]

I would like to know the class structure and/or code to create a frame, initialized to a panel with a button. Clicking this button then takes you to a separate panel which also has a button, which goes back to the previous panel. Basically, to use as a simple menu system.

A simple concept, yet one I'm finding hard to get to work in code. I just haven't grasped the how the events and calling of the classes interact entirely. I'm sure I'm close, but a little help would be grateful.

Thanks,

Jeff

Try this:

import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

class Test extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
JButton button1=new JButton("Show panel 2"
JButton button2=new JButton("Show panel 1"
JPanel panel1=new JPanel();
JPanel panel2=new JPanel();

public Test() {
addWindowListener(new WindowAdapter() {
public void windowClosing(WindowEvent e) {System.exit(0);}
});
button1.addActionListener(this);
button2.addActionListener(this);
panel1.add(button1);
panel2.add(button2);
getContentPane().add("Center", panel1);
setSize(200,200);
setTitle("Panel 1"
setVisible(true);
}

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if(e.getSource()==button1) {
getContentPane().remove(panel1);
getContentPane().add(panel2);
getContentPane().validate();
setTitle("Panel 2"
repaint();
}
if(e.getSource()==button2) {
getContentPane().remove(panel2);
getContentPane().add(panel1);
getContentPane().validate();
setTitle("Panel 1"
repaint();
}
}

public static void main(String s[]) {
new Test();
}
}
