Ive made this calculator using java swing.I want to add new buttons to my frame if user selects 'Scientific' from file menu and remove buttons frome the frame if user selects 'Standard' from the menu. By default it is selected to standard. Write now a new window pops up above the other if i select scientific. Please help. This is my code.

When the user clicks the button you call init() (with a flag set), which always creates a new window from scratch. Rather than keep on adding & removing buttons, why not add panop2, but set its visibility to false. Then in the button handler you just have to make panop2 visible, and re-pack the window - without calling init() again. Similarly if the user de-selects scientific - just make it invisible & re-pack.

Thankyou so much. Thats a nice idea. But i dont know what do you mean by repacking the window? please let me know the syntax if there,s any.

Same as line 198 above. If you don't call pack() again the window won't be resized to fit the newly visible panel.
