I've had a couple of questions recently on the CardLayout layout manager so it seems a good time to have a look at how the CardLayout can be used.

It's perfect if you want to create an application that works like a set of tabs. You can place a number of components into a few different JPanels and then switch between those panels using the CardLayout layout manager. If you want to see it in action then have a look at the CardLayout example program.
