How to create separate screens in Swing?
I am constantly finding myself building programs where there are multiple screens. For example, consider a program where the initial layout offers two buttons: create file or edit file. Upon clicking one, it takes the user to a new screen supporting whatever button they press. Then they click a back button and it takes them back to the main screen of the program. I am wondering how to best do separate menus like this. Would it be best just to create separate methods setting up each screen, then call the appropriate one when a button (like "back" button) is clicked? This is what I was thinking of doing, but seeing as there are many ways to do this, I want to get opinions on a possibly better way of changing the screen displayed.
Thanks, AJ
