Java GUI Help

[txrandom]

Say I have a frame with two panels A & B. But now I want to just show one panel, so I type remove(A); but panel A still shows up. How do I actually remove the panel from the frame?

Do I need to remove(A); and then "refresh" the window? How do I do that?

It's been ages since I've done GUI stuff in Java...let me guess, CPSC 111?

As I recall, you had to paint/repaint the window after removing an object...I couldn't tell you what the method name was, though. Look it up in the API.

frame.remove(A)
frame.revalidate() (or validate() - Can't remember which)
frame.paint()

Good luck

You have to invalidate the ui.

Try something like Netbeans.

If you're going to be doing this often, use the JLayeredPane. You can bring different layers to front, back, reorder, with a single call.

The revalidate() method in my post invalidate()s then validates() the frame / panel
