I've read the tutorials lots, but to no avail, I need help with make it so when you click a tab it actually changes, here take a look at thisprivatestaticvoid createTabbedPane(){
tabBox =new JTabbedPane();
tabBox.addTab("User Stuff", userPanel);
tabBox.addTab("Initialization", passPanel);
}
Do i need a Listener to change tabs with a click of the mouse?
you don't need a mouselistener...
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTabbedPane;
public class MyTabbedPane extends JFrame {
private static JTabbedPane tabBox;
private static JPanel userPanel;
private static JPanel passPanel;
public MyTabbedPane() {
createUserPanel();
createPassPanel();
createTabbedPane();
add(tabBox);
}
private static void createUserPanel() {
userPanel = new JPanel();
// just for demonstrating i add a label here
JLabel label = new JLabel("userPanel");
userPanel.add(label);
}
private static void createPassPanel() {
passPanel = new JPanel();
//just for demonstrating i add a label here
JLabel label = new JLabel("passLabel");
passPanel.add(label);
}
private static void createTabbedPane() {
tabBox = new JTabbedPane();
tabBox.addTab("User Stuff", userPanel);
tabBox.addTab("Initialization", passPanel);
}
