Hi all,

I have a JToolbar on a panel, which is floatable
If I make the toolbar floating in its own window and make the panel
setVisible( false), the toolbar is still visible

I want the toolbar also to disappear
How can I solve this issue?

Thanks in advance

Simply override setVisible for your panel:

public void setVisible(boolean visible){
toolbar.setVisible(visible);
super.setVisible(visible);
}

I think I was not clear, lemme explain

JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JPanel panel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());

JToolBar toolbar = new JToolBar();
toolbar.setFloatable( true);
toolbar.add( new JButton("Open"));
toolbar.add( new JButton("New"));

panel.add( toolbar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
panel.add(...);

frame.add( panel, BorderLayout.NORTH);

frame.setVisible( true);

Then, in a action handler,

panel.setVisible( false);

When the frame is visible, click and drag the toolbar so that the
toolbar appears in its own window.
This hides only the panel, button the toolbar remains in its own
window.

toolbar.setVisible( false); hides only the buttons on toolbar, but the
window( which appears when its dragged out of its place) is still
visible.

I want to show a different panel, when a particular event happens, for
which I have to hide the current toolbar. But it is not happening when
I drag the toolbar and make it appear(float) in its own window

Hope I am clear now
