Possible Duplicate:
Adding label and text box control to GUI

Can someone help me out writing a small code in java that inserts one tab and within that tab one label and one text box. I have read a lot of information about this and have tried over and over but can’t figure it out. I actually need it for multilpe tabs, labels, and text boxes, but if someone can help me get started I think I can apply that to what I need to do to create more.

Thanks so much

Here is a sample that I have implemented to remember how to use gridbaglayout.. 🙂

import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.Insets;

import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTabbedPane;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.UIManager;

public class FrmTabbedPane  extends JFrame{

    public FrmTabbedPane() {
        createGui();
    }

    private void createGui() {
        JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
        tabbedPane.addTab("Tab1", createPanel());
        tabbedPane.addTab("Tab2", createPanel());
        add(tabbedPane);


    }

    private JPanel createPanel() {
        JPanel panel = new JPanel(new GridBagLayout());
        addLabelTextField(panel,1);
        addLabelTextField(panel,2);
        addLabelTextField(panel,3);

        return panel;
    }

    private void addLabelTextField(JPanel panel,int row) {
        GridBagConstraints c = new GridBagConstraints();
        c.gridy = row;
        c.gridx = 0;
        c.insets = new Insets(1, 5, 1, 10);
              c.weightx=0.3;  
        JLabel label1 = new JLabel("Label");
        panel.add(label1,c);
        JTextField txtField1 = new JTextField();
        c.gridx = 1;
        c.fill = GridBagConstraints.HORIZONTAL;
        c.weightx = 0.7;
        panel.add(txtField1,c);
    }
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {

            @Override
            public void run() {
                FrmTabbedPane frm = new FrmTabbedPane();
                frm.setLocationByPlatform(true);

                frm.setSize(500, 300);
                frm.setVisible(true);

            }

        });
    }
}
