Display JFrame inside JPanel in java

Question

Is this possible to add a JFrame into a JPanel in Java. i m using a java program which is giving output as a frame which i wanted to display inside another program's JPanel on click of a button. How can i do this?

Answer 1

Read about JInternalFrame. I think it's the way to go here.

Answer 2

You could call getContentPane() on the JFrame to extract its main contents as a JPanel (usually) and without the menu bar and decorations, and display that as a JPanel though best would probably be to update the original program so that it produces a JPanel and not a JFrame.
