Adding a new page to my contaier.

May 03, 2012 18:58:36

I am trying to add a page I created, called "CenterPanel.java" to the CENTER position of my containter page. (IntroPanel.Java)

Here is my MAIN.

Here is my containter.. this is where I would like to add CenterPanel.Java into the CENTER position of my borderlayout

THIS is the page I am trying to add into my "IntroPanel.java" BorderLayout.CENTER position.

Bonus page, PizzaPanel.Java.. I am trying to add this to a tab on my CenterPanel.java page.

add (centerpanel, BorderLayout.CENTER); ///////////////// HELP ME HERE???

if centerpanel is an instance of the class CenterPanel, you can't.

CenterPanel is a JFrame, so it cannot be added to a container.
You'll have to change anything to do with frames to JPanels

Is there any way I can make my CenterPanel have a set of tabbed panels inside of it? Even though I want to add it to my IntroPanel.java's BorderLayout.CENTER?

Make CenterPanel a JPanel and add a JTabbedPane to it.

Thank you very much for the reply's!

I am receiving a run time error message

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: adding a window t
o a container

Press any key to continue . . .

I believe my CenterPanel.java code is messed up... I am trying to add tabs to my other pages, PizzaPanel and DrinksPanel.

Here is my CenteraPanel.java code..

(Code commented off , not using it, just there playing with it... trying to figure it out)

in my first reply I had this
"CenterPanel is a JFrame"

nothing has changed
"public class CenterPanel extends JFrame "
