How to switch tabs in jTabbedPane by clicking a Button?

Question

I have two JTabbedPanes, JTabbedPane1 & 2 How can I press button in JTabbedPane2 to show JTabbedPane1 ?

Here is the code for JTabbedPane:

public cla         


        

Answer 1

Just! With:

JTabbedPane.setSelectedComponnet(component);

Answer 2

If you make the tabbed pane accessible to ButtonHandler you can do this:

class ButtonHandler implements ActionListener{
       public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
              jtp.setSelectedIndex(0);
       }
}

You can do this by making jtp (ideally with a better name) a private attribute with a getter method or it can be passed in as a constructor argument to ButtonHandler.

Answer 3

Just like to add that your action listener has to be in the same class as your tabs.

Answer 4

its very simple: use the code below:

JTabbedpane.setSelectedIndex(); 

what ever the name is of you J Panel replace it with the above JTabbedpane and for example you want to select the first tabs simply put 0 in bracket and if you want to select second tab then put 1 in bracket eg: my J tabbed pane is called jtabbedpanel and I want the first tab then the line will look as:

jtabbedpanel.setSelectedIndex(0);

hope this helps!!

Answer 5

You should use the method JTabbedPane.setSelectedIndex(int index) with the index of the tab you want.
