java-programmer, Does my panel play hide & seek ? Hi,

In an application, that uses internal frames and the JDesktopPane! I
now want to add a pane to my application to the right side of the
window. But this pane should be hidden. In the sense when i click on a
button, it creep inside slowly and when i click on it, it should creep
out slowly again.

Is such a thing possible with swing? or is there any other way possible
for this?

Plz help,
kind regards,
Rajesh Rapaka.

Figure how to achieve the effect in any Swing/AWT components
and you can apply it back to the JDesktopPane(!).

Yes.

What do you mean? AWT? Java2D?

Yes and yes.

[ One way to achieve this is to design a 'SlideOnAndOff' layout.
That is, design your own custom layout. Then you can do pretty
much whatever makes sense for the application. ]
