Help...Button action can't remove a panel and bring a new panel

Question

I have a Search_panel in a frame within that Search_panel when you press continue button, it should remove the old Search_panel and bring a complete new tab_panel. but the funny part if i put the code inside jini() works fine, but if i put it inside the press button action it removes the Search_panel as I want but it doesnt paint the new tab_panel.
Does someone know why?
Thanks
void jContinueButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
BringTabs();
private void BringTabs()
jPanel1.remove(mySearchPanel);
jPanel1.add(myTabPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
contentPane.repaint();
jContainerPanel.repaint();
jPanel1.repaint();
System.out.println("something");
}

I've had a similar problem, and the best way to handle it is as follows:
void jContinueButton_actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
   BringTabs()
private void BringTabs()
   Thread replace = new Thread()
      public void run()
         jPanel1.remove(mySearchPanel);
         jPanel1.add(myTabPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
         jPanel1.revalidate();
         jPanel1.repaint();
         //Might need these as well (or other hierarchial component)
         jContainerPanel.revalidate();
         jContainerPanel.repaint();
   replace.start();
}Let me know if this works
