adding same object(jtextfield) to different cards in card layout
Have a combo box with 3 items which changes cards in a cardLayout.
Have 3 panels as card in a cardLayout.
Want to reuse the field txtName, lblName in pnlName and reuse txtAge, lblAge in pnlAge in all the cards.
It only appears in the last card3 panel(i.e the last panel referenced)
Is there a way I can show the same object(pnlName, pnlAge) in all the cards,
Below is the code, any solution is welcome.

import java.awt.event.*;

String comboBoxItems[] = { "Name", "ShortDetail","FullDetail"};
JComboBox cb = new JComboBox(comboBoxItems);
cb.setEditable(false);
cb.addItemListener(this);
comboBoxPane.add(cb);
