swapping jtextpane in runtime

[adams161]

hi,

i have an array of JTextPane's.

console 0 uses array[0] jtextpane to see their chat.
console 1 uses array[1] jtextpane etc.

up to them how many jtextpanes they use/consoles they create/open. they can move different chat channels to different consoles or have all channels go to one.

lets say the user has 3 consoles open, what i'd like is for a way to cycle through the chat windows ( jtextpanes) in a single console.

say they hit a button and console one now displays array[1] , hit it again its on 2 hit it again its back on 0.

the other windows would not be effected. i.e. if console 2 was displaying array[1] it would continue to even though console 1 is also now displaying array[1].

can this be done?

i did some testing. swapping the control so it lived on two windows at once didnt work well but i could make one console, say console[0] the master window, and have a second set of jtextpanes, the second array, that i swap with console 0, syronizeing hte second set like array2, with the document on array; in my example you hit up to cycle through the windows on console 0.

i think a better solution is not to swap the textpane at all. have an array of styled documents, and whenever i write to a document, say i was writing to console1 , i know write to document 1, and set all consoles using document 1 to that document.

so it makes no diffrence if console1=doc1 and console2=doc2 or say console 1=doc2 and console2=doc2. the data exists in the right document for that data, any console can display it.
