Adding JPanel using Jbutton, Expanding JFrame as needed.

If anyone could show me a sample/ example or link to reading that could help, please assist.

On my first try, I created my panel as a class extending JPanel.
I created an instance and added it to the frame simply enough.

I get trouble when trying to perform the same function via a JButton.

I'll post an example of what I have soon. I scrapped my first run as it became a mess and debugging was wasting more time than a rewrite.

There are lots of examples of just this on this forum and other similar sites. If you get stuck, please post your code attempt with [code] [/code] tags and tell us any details about the problems you may be having with your code.
