I want a button to change the contentPane in a frame. An admin panel and a user panel in two different JPanel classes that gets called in a MainWindow class with a frame.
My code looks as follows:
The method the button calls:
public void ChangeContent() throws Exception{
MainWindow mw = new MainWindow();
AdminUI admin = new AdminUI ();
mw.frame.getContentPane().removeAll();
mw.frame.setContentPane(admin);
mw.frame.revalidate();
mw.frame.repaint();
}
This is the method being called in my "public MainWindow()" method in the MainWindow class (the one with the frame) to show the contentPane in the beginning:
public void Admin() throws Exception {
frame = new JFrame("Admin Panel");
frame.setResizable(false);
frame.setBounds(100, 100, 256, 457);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
AdminUI Admin = new AdminUI();
frame.setContentPane(Admin);
}
An equal method exists for the userUI.
I have tried just called the userUI() method in the MainWindow when I press a button, but that doesn't refresh the window, and neither does the ChangeConten() method. I need some help. I used the search feature on Stackoverflow to no success.
