The container uses a BorderLayout. I have a JPanel that I added to the CENTER. However the JPanel doesn't have a variable name for it.
I could do contents.remove(nameofPanel)
But since I added it like this contents.add(new CustomJPanel(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
Now I'm trying to remove the current CustomJPanel and add a new one.
How d...

            Hi Everyone,
Riddle me this: I have a JTabbedPane that has custom JPanels in it. When I try and access those JPanels, all I get back is null. I know that the panels have been added because on the UI I can see the tabs. I can also interact with the panels and switch between tabs. It doesn't matter how I add these JPanels, it always return...
            
           
          
            
            I need to draw a graph over a JPanel by overriding the JPanel's paintComponent() method. 
While designing gui using netbeans when i drag/drop a JPanel over JFrame it generates code by creating a private variable, JPanel object. In such a case how can i override its method to draw over it... 
or else if i write code for a class by exten...

            Hi all,
Well the title is quite self explanatory. I want to build two panels one on-top of each other in layers using java. I want the top layer to contain a JPanel which will contain a graphics2d object. I'd like both the JPanel and graphics2d to have transparent background (I still want the content drawn by the graphics2d visible). Do...
            
           
          
            
            Hi all,
I am struggling ( ! ) with java GUI development. All these small things that make obvious sense just don't work. I'll explain what I am trying to do and where I am failing (this is quite frustrating):
I've got this graphics2d object which resides inside a panel. Now this graphics draws an image, it can go on and draw forever. t...
            
           
          
            
            Hi everyone, I'm having some trouble designing an MDI Application with Swing.

It seems to be a bug, since it appears to be trivially simple to do so - just adding an extra J to the na...
