Swing master JFrame

[Avik Ghosh]

I am new in swing. I want to create a PARENT-CHILD JFRAME, i.e I need a jpanel content side menu(tree menu) always common for all JFRAME. How can i inherit this.
Need your valuable suggestion.

Consider using a JSplitPane with a JTree as its left component and a JPanel with a CardLayout as its right component. Oh, and don't use multiple JFrames. One is enough.

Ho can i use the same tree menu for all JFRAMEs.
Thankx in advance

There are plenty of code samples in the tutorial I gave you a link for. I don't really see a point in reproducing the tutorial here.

I already told, you, don't use multiple JFrames.

And welcome to the Ranch (after your year hiding in the background)

are you perhaps talking about creating a frame for re-use in multiple projects?
