JTabbedPane problem
hello.
this is james mcfadden. i am currently developing a video library system in Java. it involves developing a video library menu. the video library menu is supposed to consist of an administrator's section, a new user's section and an existing user's section. i am using JTabbedPane to navigate between the 3 sections of the menu. the following program compiles but it does not run the way i expect it to. when i run the program, only a blank frame is displayed on screen and nothing else. how can i solve this problem?
thank you for helping me solve this problem.
