public class CardPanel

extends javax.swing.JPanel

The CardPanel bean takes in an array of card names and the class names given to it and displays the component of a specified card name.

Drop a panel in a Screen1 with some components in it. Now, create a Screen2 with a CardPanel and set the following property

 CardPanel1.setCardAndClassNames();
 

If the property is set using Property sheet of the bean then set the following codes

 screen = screen1. (In the property of Card and Card Names[]).
 

Then the class Screen1 can be called by the following code snippet

 CardPanel1.showCard("screen");
 

On Compiling both the Screens and running the Screen2 , Screen1 along with its components is displayed.
