CardLayout


A CardLayout object is a layout manager for a container. It treats each component in the container as a card. Only one card is visible at a time, and the container acts as a stack of cards. The first component added to a CardLayout object is the visible component when the container is first displayed. The ordering of cards is determined by the container's own internal ordering of its component objects. CardLayout defines a set of methods that allow an application to flip through these cards sequentially, or to show a specified card. The addLayoutComponent(java.awt.Component, java.lang.Object) method can be used to associate a string identifier with a given card for fast random access.

CardLayout provides these two constructors


  • CardLayout():Creates a new card layout with gaps of size zero.
  • CardLayout(int hgap, int vgap):Creates a new card layout with the specified horizontal and vertical gaps.
