JPanel will not show ( a

Show all headers | View raw

  To: comp.lang.java.gui
So you can see my program in contxt

public class MainPanel extends JPanel implements ActionListener {

	JFrame parent;
//    JFrame addPrinterFrame, deletePrinterFrame, changePrinterFrame;
	JButton addButton, changeButton, delButton;
	JTextArea jtarea;
	JScrollPane scrollPane;
	JPanel buttonPanel, scrollPanePanel;

	// View
	MainPanel(JFrame parent) throws IOException {
		Toolkit kit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
		Dimension screenSize = kit.getScreenSize();
		int screenHeight = screenSize.height;
		int screenWidth = screenSize.width;
		setSize(screenWidth / 2, screenHeight / 2);
		setLocation(screenWidth / 4, screenHeight / 4);
// snipping a bunch of stuff
// Here is my action

public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
		String command = e.getActionCommand();
		if (command.equals("Add Printer")) {
			JPanel addPanel = createAddPanel();
			addPanel.setVisible(true);
			addPanel.setEnabled(true);
			} else if (command.equals("Change Printer")) {
		//	JPanel addPanel = createChangePanel();
		} else if (command.equals("Delete Printer")) {
			//JPanel addPanel = createDeletePanel();
		}
	}
// more snipped stuff
// Here is the method it calls

	private JPanel createAddPanel()
	{
	    JPanel box = new JPanel();
	    JButton testButton = new JButton("test");
        box.setLayout(new BoxLayout(box, BoxLayout.PAGE_AXIS));
        JPanel pane = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
        pane.add(box, BorderLayout.NORTH);
        pane.add(testButton, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
// I see this line in my eclipse console so I know that the code is
getting here!!
        System.out.println("returning pane");
        return pane;
	}
// snipped stuff at the end
}


How do I make my panel appear?  Do I need to add it to the main JFrame,
or is there a way to use the JPanel and have it a distinct window that
can be moved around and resized independantly of the main window....
ideas where I can look to figure this out?  Will I find the answer in
the sun java swing tutorial or is there somewhere else I should be
looking?
