I am trying to develop a simple GUI application using Apache NetBeans. I have built all elements for the button Enter new data as the picture shows:

Dragging and dropping elements over it is not feasible. I am looking to build this layout for search button over the previous elements. I know how to hide previous elements and display search GUI elements but designing it through drag and drop is not possible.

All I've done for Enter new Data button is setVisible(true) for all elements in the enterNewDataButton actionPerformed method.

A `CardLayout` may be what you need. Read about it [here](https://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/layout/card.html) – Kevin Anderson Nov 18 '20 at 10:14
thanks man I got your pointer, there was an option to enclose all components in a tab. Thanks for the reply – Samit Paudel Nov 18 '20 at 10:21
