Custom Multiple Choice Menu
Hey all,
I am attempting to create a custom sort of multiple choice menu, and was directed to this forum from a friendly member of codingforums.com. Here's the rundown:
I'm working on a project that requires me to implement a sort of sequential multiple choice question system that uses very little space, and is very smooth, so when a user understands the input (hit a,b,c,d,...) they can rapidly answer a sequence of questions. Anyway, I've got a mockup of what I'm looking to do, but still have trouble figuring out how best to go about this in Swing.
Any insight or suggestion would be a big help, I'm coming back to Swing after a bit of a hiatus and right now I'm just sort of API-crawling to figure this out.
Here's the functionality mock-up, basically this will go inside of a JPanel, where what's actually important is just the orange stuff. (Ideally this is scalable from 1-4 windows or so, but if I can figure out how to do at least 2 the rest I think will be mostly math.)

And my own thoughts: Perhaps I can achieve this either using no layout manager for absolute positioning based on the size of the area and the number of choices, or create a layout manager that uses JLabels and does the positioning for me when given x number of multiple choice questions.
