Hit the add button twice you'll get 2 TABS not when I maximize it "Add TAB" moved to Middle and Textareas are in top.
I want jTextAtrea1 to expand till the bottom of the page during maximize and restore to actual size during toggle.

I want jTextAtrea1 to expand till the bottom of the page during maximize
Sounds like you should be using a BorderLayout for the panel you add to the tab. Then you add the text area to the BorderLayout.CENTER and the other components to the BorderLayout.NORTH.
It looks like your layout code is generated by an IDE. Don't use the IDE to generate layout code. Do the layout yourself and you will be in full control.

You are creating a new WindowEvent with
WindowEvent tabClosingEvent = new WindowEvent(this,....
and posting this to the event queue. The this here refers to the main frame. That's why it is closed.
However, you should usually not mess around with the event queue manually. Instead, you should do the respective actions programmatically with the method that perform the desired actions.
There are some parts of the code between the first { and the last } that might benefit from a slight cleanup, but in order to solve the actual issue, you could change your closeActionPerformed method to something like this:
private void closeActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
{
Component c = tPane.getSelectedComponent();
if (c instanceof JInternalFrame)
{
JInternalFrame f = (JInternalFrame)c;
f.dispose();
tPane.remove(f);
}
}
(BTW: Then you also don't need the InternalFrameListener any more)

jLabel slideshow when a mouse enters a button

I can't get this to work:
public void ru() throws InterruptedException {
jLabel3.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/adv/room.jpg")));
setVisible(true);
Thread.sleep(400);
jLabel3.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/adv/ROOMS.jpg")));
setVisible(true);
Thread.sleep(400);
jLabel3.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/adv/background.jpg")));
setVisible(true);
}
private void BtnRoomsMouseEntered(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
try {
ru();
} catch (InterruptedException ex) {
}
}
Any solutions?
I want a jLabel to show a slide show when a mouse enters a certain button and stays like that as long as the mouse is still in a button. If the mouse happens to exit the button, the jlabel will return to a null state. (no more anything.) Is that possible? Please help. I also tried using for statement but no good. I'm using netbeans by the way.

First thing you need to implement a javax.swing.Timer. Trying to call Thread.sleep() will block the Event Dispatch Thread. See How to use Swing Timers. Here is the basic construct
Timer(int delay, ActionListener listener)
where delay is the time in milliseconds you want delayed and the listener will listen for the Timer ActionEvent fired every delay milliseconds.
So you want something like this
public class MyFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {
private Timer timer = null;
ImageIcon[] icons = new ImageIcon[3];
int index = -1;
public MyFrame() {
initComponents();
icons[0] = new ImageIcon(...);
icons[1] = new ImageIcon(...);
icons[2] = new ImageIcon(...);
timer = new Timer(2000, new ActionListener(){
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (index + 1 > 2) {
index = 0;
jLabel3.setIcon(icons[index]);
} else {
index++;
jLabel3.setIcon(icons[index]);
}
}
});
}
}
For your button, you need to use mouseEntered and mouseExited, then you can just call timer.start() or timer.stop()
private void jButton1MouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
timer.stop();
}
private void jButton1MouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
timer.start();
}
If you don't know how to add the MouseListener just right click on the button from the design view and select Event -> Mouse -> mouseEntered. Do the same for mouseExited. You should see the above methods auto-generated for you.

You want to add a MouseAdapter to the JLabel and use its mouseEntered() and mouseExited() as follows:
jLabel3.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
#Override
public void mouseEntered(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
try {
jLabel3.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/adv/room.jpg")));
setVisible(true);
Thread.sleep(400);
jLabel3.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/adv/ROOMS.jpg")));
setVisible(true);
Thread.sleep(400);
jLabel3.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon(getClass().getResource("/adv/background.jpg")));
setVisible(true);
} catch(InterruptedException e) {
}
#Override
public void mouseExited(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) {
//whatever you mean by "null state"
}
});
