public class CardExample1
extends java.lang.Object

An example to illustrate the use of the class CardCell for switching between the two GUIs shown below.

The GUI contains a CardCell at the bottom. The CardCell has two cells as its elements. The first one is a form laid out in a grid, and the other is a form laid out in a row. When the user clicks the button with text Grid, the form with the grid is displayed in the card. The other button is associated the form containing the row in a similar fashion.
