First of all Im a newbie designing with netbeans :)

I created a layered panel and added two jpanels to it. I want to add a jbutton in one to go to the other panel.

My aim is to load a panel when a button is clicked Is it possible in actionlistner of the jbutton?

lot of posts mentioned card layout. however it is very complex for a newbie like me. If a simple tutorials exists please do mention, if my aim is hard to implement.

Well try this [example](http://stackoverflow.com/a/9349137/1057230) for CardLayout, hopefully this might can help a bit :-) – nIcE cOw Jul 08 '13 at 13:34

Did you mean 'Layered Panes'? http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/layeredpane.html – jayrobin Jul 08 '13 at 13:35
Another option you could do is to set the visible property to false in the on click function for the first panel and set the one you would like to display to true. – troy_frommer Jul 08 '13 at 13:40
