Amit, There is a tutorial on how to use internal frames on Sun's Java site: <http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/internalframe.html>. If that's not enough, search with google for "jinternalframe tutorial". I'm sure, you'll find something of help amidst the results. Personally, I think using a JDesktopPane is an overkill. Since you only have two panes to work with, here's what I'd do:
1. Create a panel with border layout 2. add a toolbar to north 3. add a status bar to south 4. add a JSplitPane to center Dmitry PS In the future, please try to refrain from crossposting your questions to multiple mailing lists. Besides, this is by no means an advanced question as there is nothing here that you couldn't have found yourself, had you invested a bit of your time in research. Furthermore, don't send attachments, or, otherwise, tons of code to the list. If you want to provide code samples, get a free website (a la yahoo), put your files there and send us a url of where this stuff can be looked at/downloaded from.
