Hi all,

I usually use JFrame and put the different panel on top. Can you teach me the uses of JInternalFrame? What is the difference between JFrame and JInternalFrame?


Thanks
Benson

Read the API for JInternalFrame and follow the link to the Sun tutorial on "How to use Internal Frames".

In a nutshell, JFrame is a top level window and JInternalFrame is a lightweight component.

Darn you Darryl! Beat me to it!

JInternalFrame is Swing's MDI solution.
