Swing: JTabbedPanes

Hi

I'm using tabs for different 'modes' of operation. What I need to know is
how to 'listen' for when a tab is selected.

The Tutorial on JTabbedPanes makes no mention of it, only that the keyboard
and mouse listeners for changing a tab have been taken care of for us when
using JTabbedPane.

Any help greatly appreciated.

You'll need to implement a ChangeListener and implement following method -

public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e){
final int tabIndex = yourTabbedPane.getSelectedIndex();
//doSomething();
}

myTabbedPane.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
    public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
        // do something here
    }
});
