I want to put the murder check box inside the Input tab. This is what I have in my code

import model.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;

public class Panel extends JPanel
{   
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();

    public Panel(Prison prison)
    {
        setup();
        build(prison);
    }

    private void setup()
    {
        setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.blue));
        setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 1));
    }

private void build(Prison prison)
{
    JTabbedPane tab = new JTabbedPane();

    tab.addTab("Input", null, null, "Input");
    JCheckBox crime = new JCheckBox("murder");
    add(crime);
    tab.addTab("Display", null, null, "Display");
    add(tab);       
}

}

How can I fix this?

Answer 1

You need to create a panel with the button that you want like this.

  JPanel panel = new JPanel();
  panel.add(crime);
  tab.addTab("Input", null, panel, "Input");

That should put the button in the tabpane.
