Dynamic dialog creation & display within a Panel of a form / urgent

I have to dynamically create dialogs based on the menu selections within a
certain pane of a splitter panel. I am using Symantec Visual Cafe. I tried creating a dialog and but it doesnt get placed in the pane even when i do an add for the container. The main application window/form is split into 3 sections (2 at the top & 1 at the bottom). Each dialog also has to have tabbed panes so creation & placement of each component is tedious. Is there any other
way ?

Dialogs are components that cannot be attcahed to a container - they are popped up. In fact a java.awt.Dialog Constructor accepts a Frame object to display itself and the dialog can accept inputs.If u require to attach to ue splitter panel then use a panel to embed in the splitter panel. Similarly a tabbed panel contains Panels and u can attach panels instead of dialogs.Hope u need to have a fresh look at ur specs and GUI design.

Hope this is clear
