I'm new to Java and trying to create a simple GUI for the first time.
Is it possible to layer JPanels and setVisible one at a time ?
I'm creating 3 JPanels, and I want to show 1 of the 3 on the main JFrame Content Pane under menu
control.
At the moment if I do this the last one added is always displayed. So I guess the last
contentPane.add(JPanel3) effectively removes the other 2 which makes sense.

I tried putting all 3 JPanels in a single JPanel, and adding this to the content pane. Then I have
the problem they are added in different parts of the content pane. Is there a layout manager that
forces JPanels to display on top of each other ?

Maybe I'm taking the wrong approach. Can I programatically contentPane.add(JPanel1or2o3) instead
?


use a CardLayout()
