How do I switch from one panel to another by hiding the first panel in Netbeans IDE (ie: panel1.setVisible(false)
and panel2.setVisible(true)
as we click on a button belonging to first panel)? Please help me as Netbeans is strange to me.

Sounds like you want to use CardLayout
to manage all the panels that you want to switch between, assuming that your panels will occupy the same space on the screen.
You'll need to create a component that uses the CardLayout
layout manager and then add all the panels that you want to switch between to it. Then your various buttons that will switch panels can reference the layout manager and switch the panels accordingly - the CardLayout
will manage calling the appropriate setVisible
methods.
