Issue
I'm using NetBeans 8 IDE to design a desktop application. How can I transit among different forms (e.g. login page and homepage)? Should I design multiple .java JForms or is it possible to completely delete previous components and bring new ones?
Is there something like hidden tabs that aren't shown to the user but really exist? I am looking for a high performance way to toggle forms.
Solution
Were you to have the form constructed programmatically - although this is a bit inefficient - you could use a switch statement in a loop with cases that contain the individual forms, and statements to clear the existing form components. There's also an easy JavaFX navigation solution using a larger-than-viewport area (containing each form in a horizontal series) wherein the forms get the viewport one-by-one, but it looks like you're using swing; sorry if it's of no help in this case.
