Keeping same window, but displaying new content?
Hello there,
I'm still a newbie when it comes to Java, and I've just been learning about Swing. I was wondering how you could do this:
Show a Start button and a picture, then, when the button is pressed, the picture and button disappear and a new set of buttons appear, almost like a new page on the same window?
How can I do that?
Thanks,
Alex.

One way would be to use the Container class's remove and add methods.
Another would be to use CardLayout.

Re: Keeping same window, but displaying new content?
Could you possibly explain this Container you mentioned. Sorry about this.
Re: Keeping same window, but displaying new content?
Container is a java SE class. See the API doc:
Java Platform SE 6

Re: Keeping same window, but displaying new content?
Please could you give a quick example? That website isn't very clear.
Re: Keeping same window, but displaying new content?
to remove all the components in a container, get a reference to the container and call the removeAll() method:
refToContainer.removeAll();
To remove a specific component:
refToContainer.remove(refToComponent);
