I am developing a desktop Java application with GUI implemented through Swing. I have made a JFrame and have added three buttons on it – Add, Edit, Delete.

Now I want that whenever a user clicks on any of the button, the content specific to that button appears besides those three buttons.

So how to implement this? Should I need to add a JPanel besides those three buttons and then add the content specific to the button to that JPanel?

So far, I have taken a JFrame and have added 3 buttons on it. That’s it.

For the Add button, I want to add some buttons and textfields to add information to the database.

For the Delete button, I want to add some buttons to find records in the database based on the information entered through the user in the textfield that appears when the user clicks on the Delete button.

Similar type of content for Edit button.

    That would be fine. When you push the button, you can call JPanel.removeAll() to remove all the controls currently in the control, and then just do the layout again, specific to whatever button you pushed.

    If you have custom swing controls, just add your custom control the JPanel using a BorderLayout and putting in the center.

    Another option would be to use a CardLayout, and flipping between the cards when a user presses one of the buttons. If the layouts for the buttons never change, that would probably be a better way to do it. Obviously if the content changes between button presses, you’ll need to redo the layout each time.
