Setting default button in tabbed panes

Thread view:

I have a JTabbedPane and have two JPanels forming the two tabs. I need
to set the default button on one or other Panel depending which one is
active / showing at the time.

How do I do this ? I need to toggle the default buttons on the panels
but I need to know which panel is currently showing. Do I detect the
active panel using a listener on both Panel classes or can I detect
something and set it in the JTabbedPanel ??

TIA

Eddie

If I understand you correctly, JTabbedPane has a addChangeListener that
will give you this information.
