I have created a java tabbed pane. In the tabbed pane i have created a tab called Video. I want whenever i click on the video tab a video should automatically be played on the tab panel itself. Can I do this? If yes please tell me how to do it.
You have to add a ChangeListener to your JTabbedPane component and override the stateChanged method:
tabbedPane.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
#Override
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
if (e.getSource() instanceof JTabbedPane) {
JTabbedPane pane = (JTabbedPane) e.getSource();
if (pane.getSelectedIndex() == 2) {
// start playing the media clip in tab 2
mediaPlayer.start();
}
}
}
});

use the JTabbedPane getModel() of type SingleSelectionModel, add a ChangeListener to the model, you'll get an event, when a tab has been selected.
EDIT: Do you mean, it should run automatically w/o any button press, then use the JTabbedPane getModel() of type SingleSelectionModel, add a ChangeListener to the model, you'll get an event, when a tab has been selected.
If you mean it should run inside the small tab, maybe you can run a Thread that displays frames of IconImages.

I want to create a program with a GUI where I have a Choice with three different options.
I have to realize it with CardLayout but my problem is that I don't know how to switch the CardLayoutPanel to the one I selected in the Choice.
Choice ch = new Choice();
Panel cl = new Panel(new CardLayout());
Panel one = new Panel();
Panel two = new Panel();
Panel three = new Panel();
and in the constructor I have:
// CARD LAYOUT PANELS
cl.add(one, "1");
cl.add(two, "2");
cl.add(three, "3");
f.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
// CHOICE-OPTIONS
ch.add("one");
ch.add("two");
ch.add("three");
How can I add an ActionListener to switch between the different Panels using the Choice ?
(Please don't comment google it - I already did, otherwise I wouldn't ask)
Thank you!

In method main I call method invokeLater which explicitly launches the EDT (Event Dispatch Thread). The GUI must run on this thread.
In order to cause the application to terminate when you click the close window button (which is usually an X in the top corner of the window), you add a WindowListener.
When you add components to the Frame, you are actually adding them to the content pane which is a Panel that has BorderLayout layout manager.
Choice does not support ActionListener, it supports ItemListener. Hence the above code implements ItemListener.
I am currently working on my school project to practice vocabulary, I have a method in my GUI that creates new vocabulary and the name of the list, I wanted to create a button that adds more Panels with input fields just this prototype image.
My idea is that when the user clicks
AddMoreButton it will add one JPanel just like P Panel, then the user can write vocabulary to send it to my database, is it possible to create something that?, I tried looping the P panel but it did not not change, any help would be appreciated.

String defintionglosa = defintionInput.getText();
try {
if (model.createWordList(namelist) && (model.createGlosa(termglosa, defintionglosa))) {
cl.show(cardPanel, "home");
}
} catch (IOException e1) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(frame, "skapelsen av listan fungerar ej.");
}
}
}

}
}
What I understand from your question is that you want to add another panel every time the user clicks the Add button and the panel to add contains fields for entering a word and its definition.
I see JScrollPane appears in the code you posted in your question. I think this is the correct implementation. In the below code, every time the user clicks the Add button I create a panel that contains the fields for a single word definition. This newly created panel is added to an existing panel that uses GridLayout with one column. Hence every time a new word definition panel is added, it is placed directly below the last word panel that was added and this GridLayout panel is placed inside a JScrollPane. Hence every time a word definition panel is added, the GridLayout panel height increases and the JScrollPane adjusts accordingly.

As your code is not an Minimal Reproducible Example, I cannot provide further assistance than this:
Red part: Your main JPanel with BoxLayout
Green part: another JPanel with your JTextField in it.
Purple part: JScrollPane
Blue parts: custom JPanels with 2 panes in them, one on top for the number, one on the bottom for both JTextFields and icon, so I would say GridBagLayout or BoxLayout + FlowLayout
Orange part: JPanel with GridBagLayout or FlowLayout
Each time you clic on the + icon, you just create a new instance of the custom blue JPanel and that's it.

I am using the code above attempting to make a new Panel() appear and the existing panel disappear when a button is clicked by using setVisible. However, I cannot get the Panel() to change. Nothing happens when the buttons are clicked, which are set to change setVisible to false on the current Panel and true on the requested Panel.
I am fairly certain it is because the panels are set a private in a different class (initComponents). How do I access the setVisible property on the panels? Or, is this even what's wrong?
Add
this.validate();
in the makeActiveVisible() method.
Swing components have a default state of being invalid and won't be painted to the screen unless validated (by calling the .validate() method on either the component itself or on one of the parent containers).

You don't have the package name in your applet. Consider changing
code="Reverser.class"
to
code="Applets.Reverser.class"
and making sure that the class file is in the Applets subdirectory relative to the HTML file. Or even better, create a jar file.
Also you need to post the error messages that the browser is giving you. You could have a version incompatibility for all we know.
In our aplication we use Metal L&F. We are using a floatable JToolBar; it happens that when doing the drag behavior it appears with the Windows L&F.
May anyone say me how to keep Metal L&F when dragging the JToolBar?
Thanks
P.D. Our JToolBar is within a JPanel container that user BorderLayout Layout Manager.
Maybe I explained badly my question. So I post an example taken from The Java Tutorials to give anyone an idea of what happens to my application.
If you execute the following code the main JFrame appears decorated with Ocean Theme; but when I drag the JToolBar its decorated is not Ocean. What can I do??.
Many thanks in advance

Looks like nowadays the toplevel container of the ripped of toolBar is of type JDialog, so you have the set the lafDecoration for that as well:
JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(Boolean.TRUE);
JDialog.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
Works for jdk7 and vista, didn't test other environments.
I made a small project as you described:
public class LafTest
{
public static void main(String[] args)
{
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(500, 500);
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
JToolBar toolbar = new JToolBar();
toolbar.add(new JButton("button1"));
toolbar.add(new JButton("button2"));
panel.add(toolbar, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
frame.add(panel);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
Works fine for me, all the time the JToolBar has Metal-LAF.

Please compare your code with this snippet. Propably you used the UIManager-class somewhere. If you still cannot fix this issue, you should post some of the used code and maybe some more details about your OS and the used Java version.
