Thanks
for downloading JCascadedPane library.
To
use JCascadedPane in your Applications you have to do following
tasks listed below and the rest of it is automatically handled and
done by the library itself :
- Either
add JCascadedPane.jar file to your classpath while compiling and
executing your java application or simply set the CLASSPATH
environment variable to include JCascadedPane.jar file.
- Next,
in your program import org.gui.JCascadedPane & org.gui.JPanelGroup
packages.
- Create
an object of type JPanelGroup using the constructor
defined in the documentation accompanying this package. JPanelGroup
is a container which holds JCascadedPane.
- Now
create as many object as required by your program, of type JCascadedPane
using the constructor defined in the documentation accompanying
this package. JCascadedPane is the actual container
to hold other child components such as JPanel, JTabbedPane etc.
- Once
you have created the objects defined above you may now customize
both of these objects suitable to your needs by using one of the
many methods defined in the package itself.
- Next
you must use addPanel(JCascadedPane temp) method of JPanelGroup
to add the newly created JCascadedPane Objects
to the JPanelGroup, in order to make them functional.
- And
finally, add JPanelGroup object to the Top or middle
Level containers such as JFrame, JDialog, JSplitPane etc.
That's
it ! You may now follow these steps to start building your own JCascadedPane.
For more help you may have a quick look at the sample (NOTE
: Sample will only run in JDK 1.4.x because it uses a method
setExtendedState() provided in JDK 1.4.x only. To run it in other
versions simply remove it from the program and recompile it.) and
project documentation accompanying this package or simply drop me
a mail at webmaster@indijaal.zzn.com.
