Need strategy for developing swing component.

[Swaroop Kunduru]

Hello All,

I have to develop a dialog component with tabs in it.

On each tab there are several groups.

In each group there are 3 rows.

Each row have several components like textbox, combobox, radio buttons.

Please let me know what are the best strategies to develop above UI window.

How to lay and group the components on window?

Please see the attachment image.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Swaroop Kunduru.

I would probably first make a separate class for your groups. They all look the same, and you will benefit from making a class out of them.

The group can simply be an extension of JPanel, and you can use a BoxLayout to manage the rows, and each row can use another BoxLayout for its components.

Then, on each tab you can use another BoxLayout to add your groups. For the tabs, you can simply use a JTabbedPane.

And you can use a TitledBorder for the lines / labels around the two groups of controls.

Thanks for both of you.

I have it done in pannels.

Command panel is giving trouble in adjusting buttons.
