how to create pages in swing??

[pankajamu]

i want to design a GUI such that when i click a button (eg. next), i get a new look ie. having different no. of buttons at different place( just like a next or back buttons in website)...

import javax.swing.*;
public class authenticate extends JFrame
{
JButton Blogin;
private JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel()
    {
        //@Override
        protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
        {
 
          super.paintComponent(g);
 
          if (img != null)
          {
 
            int width = mainPanel.getWidth();
            int height = mainPanel.getHeight();
            // and do the drawing here:
            g.drawImage(img,0,0, width, height, mainPanel);
          }
        }
      };
public authenticate() throws Exception
    {
setContentPane(mainPanel);
 
        Container con=getContentPane();
        con.setLayout(null);
Blogin = new JButton("Login");
        con.add(Blogin);                            //Blogin Button
        Blogin.setBounds(800,100,80,30);
        Blogin.addActionListener(this);
 
}
    public static void main(String[] argv) throws Exception
    {
 
        authenticate frame= new authenticate();
        frame.setVisible(true);
        frame.setSize(1024,768);
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
 
    }
}

There is no need for me or anyone to reproduce a tutorial on CardLayout here. Sun already wrote it a long time ago and it's available through google. Read it and then ask a more specific question.
