    <p>I have a form on my Java application which basically is to provide the user with a list of data from a DB query. one idea was to use a table and populate each row with data from my resultset. However when designing the UI my team and i decided that it didnt look as smooth as we wanted. So we thought we would look into creating a custom view of the results in a panel. we wanted it to look something like: <img src="https://i.stack.imgur.com/lA1eP.jpg" alt="Desired custom view"></p> <p>So instead of rows of a table it will look like this with one for each enquiry on the resultset.</p> <p>The problem i am having is coding this. I spent a good deal of time trying to workout how to add a component to a JForm. as netbeans seem to by default set up the ui as a grouplayout? so I worked out how to add 1 panel using:</p> <pre><code>javax.swing.JLabel idLbl; javax.swing.JLabel jLabel1; javax.swing.JLabel jLabel3; javax.swing.JLabel jLabel5; javax.swing.JLabel jLabel7; javax.swing.JPanel jPanel1; javax.swing.JLabel prefContactLbl; javax.swing.JLabel propertyLabel; jPanel1 = new javax.swing.JPanel(); jLabel1 = new javax.swing.JLabel(); idLbl = new javax.swing.JLabel(); jLabel3 = new javax.swing.JLabel(); propertyLabel = new javax.swing.JLabel(); jLabel5 = new javax.swing.JLabel(); contactLabel = new javax.swing.JLabel(); jLabel7 = new javax.swing.JLabel(); prefContactLbl = new javax.swing.JLabel(); jPanel1.setBorder(javax.swing.BorderFactory.createEtchedBorder()); jLabel1.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", 1, 12)); jLabel1.setText("Enquiry Id:"); jLabel1.setName("jLabel"+i); idLbl.setText("jLabel2"); jLabel3.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", 1, 12)); jLabel3.setText("Property:"); propertyLabel.setText("A property Address in some town with a postcode"); jLabel5.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", 1, 12)); jLabel5.setText("Contact:"); contactLabel.setText("A Persons Name ( 01010100011)"); jLabel7.setFont(new java.awt.Font("Tahoma", 1, 12)); jLabel7.setText("Prefered Contact:"); prefContactLbl.setText("Email/Phone"); javax.swing.GroupLayout jPanel1Layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(jPanel1); jPanel1.setLayout(jPanel1Layout); jPanel1Layout.setHorizontalGroup( jPanel1Layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING) .addGroup(jPanel1Layout.createSequentialGroup() .addContainerGap() .addGroup(jPanel1Layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING) .addGroup(jPanel1Layout.createSequentialGroup() .addComponent(jLabel1) .addPreferredGap(javax.swing.LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.RELATED) .addComponent(idLbl) .addGap(18, 18, 18) .addComponent(jLabel3) .addPreferredGap(javax.swing.LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.RELATED) .addComponent(propertyLabel)) .addGroup(jPanel1Layout.createSequentialGroup() .addComponent(jLabel7) .addPreferredGap(javax.swing.LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.RELATED) .addComponent(prefContactLbl) .addPreferredGap(javax.swing.LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.UNRELATED) .addComponent(jLabel5) .addPreferredGap(javax.swing.LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.RELATED) .addComponent(contactLabel))) .addContainerGap(20, Short.MAX_VALUE)) ); jPanel1Layout.setVerticalGroup( jPanel1Layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING) .addGroup(jPanel1Layout.createSequentialGroup() .addContainerGap() .addGroup(jPanel1Layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.BASELINE) .addComponent(jLabel1) .addComponent(idLbl) .addComponent(jLabel3) .addComponent(propertyLabel)) .addPreferredGap(javax.swing.LayoutStyle.ComponentPlacement.RELATED) .addGroup(jPanel1Layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.BASELINE) .addComponent(jLabel7) .addComponent(prefContactLbl) .addComponent(jLabel5) .addComponent(contactLabel)) .addContainerGap()) ); javax.swing.GroupLayout layout = new javax.swing.GroupLayout(getContentPane()); getContentPane().setLayout(layout); layout.setHorizontalGroup( layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING) .addGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup() .addGap(10 , 10, 10) .addComponent(jPanel1, javax.swing.GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE) .addContainerGap(100, Short.MAX_VALUE)) ); layout.setVerticalGroup( layout.createParallelGroup(javax.swing.GroupLayout.Alignment.LEADING) .addGroup(layout.createSequentialGroup() .addContainerGap() .addComponent(jPanel1, javax.swing.GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE) .addContainerGap(570, Short.MAX_VALUE)) ); </code></pre> <p>The main problem I am faced is adding more than 1 dynamically I am completly unsure how to go about it as all i can find is to set the layout not update it. And I cant set how many .addcomponent as its dynamic. Really confused on how to go about this. </p> <p>Sorry if its hard to work out what I am trying to get across easier to think of it but putting it into words is a nightmare.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
