I am making a chat application in which I am facing few problems

1. I am using frames allover the application. When the user login into his account, the friend list of user gets displayed on a new frame whereas I want to erase the contents of login frame and display list of friends on the same frame. How to achieve this?? I have used the following statement to achieve this but it is not working.

f.getContentPane().removeAll();

2. When I closes the chat window of a particular user all the windows opened in cascade and hence client gets closed.

Please help me with these issues/

Thanks a lot...

Try using CardLayout. Google this and you should get your answer I believe.

Sorry but I think this problem is not related with layouts from any angle.

1. My first problem is the client gets automatically closed when I close the chat window of a particular client.
2. My second problem is that I am not able to display the list of friends on the login window if the client successfully login. The list of friends gets displayed on a separate window.

I cannot understand what these problems have to do with layouts. Please explain me in detail where and why you are suggesting me to use card layout

better for you to have a look at the cardlayout tutorial - it does sound ideally suited to your description
