如何在JTabbedPane及其组件之间添加JSplitPane？

Question

This is my code given below as:

theJTabbedPane.addTab(CODING, new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/com/sysvine/healthpractice/gui/images/tablet.png")), aPanelDiagIcd);//Constant.getTextBundle("5.การวินิจฉัย")
    aPanelDiagIcd.addPanel(Constant.getTextBundle("การลงรหัส ICD-10"), aPanelDiagICD10);
    aPanelDiagIcd.addPanel(Constant.getTextBundle("การลงรหัส ICD-9"), aPanelDiagICD9);

I need to add JSplitPane between JTabbedPane and its component. The tabbed pane consists of 9 tabs. In that each tab consists of different functionality with different panel. But they added that the tabbed pane. How Can I set split pane between them, and what will be the left and right component for split pane?

splitPaneH= new javax.swing.JSplitPane();
splitPaneH.setOrientation(javax.swing.JSplitPane.HORIZONTAL_SPLIT);

splitPaneH.setDividerLocation(0);
splitPaneH.setOneTouchExpandable(true);
splitPaneH.setLeftComponent( theJTabbedPane  );
//splitPaneH.setRightComponent( aSourceTabbedPane  );

You can't separate the tabs from their contents with another component like a JSplitPane .

However you can tell the JTabbedPane how and where you want your tabs to be layed out. Look at the constructors JTabbedPane(int tabPlacement) and JTabbedPane(int tabPlacement, int tabLayoutPolicy) (there are also setters/getters for these).

For tab placement use JTabbedPane.LEFT , or JTabbedPane.RIGHT and the result will be what you want to achieve.

If you have too many tabs, you can choose between JTabbedPane.WRAP_TAB_LAYOUT or JTabbedPane.SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT . The first will display all tabs in multiple rows/cols if needed, the latter one will only display as many that fits into the space and display scroll buttons to scroll to the not visible tabs.

IF you really want to separate tabs from their contents with something like a JSplitPane , you can't use JTabbedPane for this. You have to implement that yourself. Eg put buttons (representing the tabs) on one side of a JSplitPane , and when those buttons are clicked, change the component on the other side of the JSplitPane .
