ive looked at that, tried to implement it into my program but failed.Ive taken the code i need from the demo and tried to put it with my program. All that happens is every button on GUI turns into vertical strips covering the whole program.any ideas why? or what im doing

The reason it turns into strips is because you are using a grid layout, if you use a null layout this will allow you to place your components anywhere you want. look at MyTabsDemo.

I'm sorry to say, a null layout is, normally, a very bad idea.

If all you want is a line of buttons, use the FlowLayout.

You need to look at what the different layouts actually do, and then pick the one (or a combination of them on layered JPanels) that best fits your needs.

But, as I said, a null Layout is normally a very bad idea.
