I am stuck up in my Gui design for Swings

I have three panels in my frame
panel 1 will have the symbol(the symbol is on Right Hand Side)
Panel 2 has one lable, two radio button and one file chooser button

panel 3 has a group of check box button

Now initially panel 3 is invisible, once the user selects one of the radio button(New User) from panel 2 it will be visible. if the user select other radio button (Profile user) the panel becomes invisible

My problem is that when i test my application, Panel 2 is takes the space of itself and panel 3, when i press one of the radio button panel 3 becomes visible and the frame looks good(as iwanted) but when the user press another button (profile user) the panel 3 is invisble, but once again panel 2 takes the entire place of frame
and UI looks bad.

I am using NetBeans IDE ( so it takes GroupLayout by default)

Please throw some light so i can try something.

Your layout manager is the culprit here. Change it to suit your requirement.

I would suggest you to use a GridLayout with 3 rows and 1 column for the three panels. In this way you can specifically assign the positions for Panels either at run time or during the editing.



This is a small code snippet which shows how to add the Panels.

off topic, but the above is a really good example of
"why not to use a gui-code-generator"
possibly worth considering as an addition to the swing faq
