Go4Expert - Focus on the last active tab when closing current one?

Hi everyone,

I have a JTabbedPane and I am trying to figure out how to code it so that when closing the current tab, the last active tab is focused. I have some methods as below but they do not work as when closing, the stateChange method is called. Does anyone know how to code this and have it be n levels deep, not just one?

Code:

            frame.tabbedPane.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {

                public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {

                        previousTab = currentTab;            

                        currentTab = frame.tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex();

                        System.out.println("old: " + previousTab);

                        System.out.println("current: " + currentTab);

                }    

            });



public static void closeTab(JFrame frame1) {

        Component c = frame1.tabbedPane.getSelectedComponent();

        if( c != null ){

                        frame1.tabbedPane.remove(c);

                        System.out.println("Setting tab: " + previousTab);

                        frame.tabbedPane.setSelectedIndex(previousTab);

                        currentTab = frame.tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex();

        }

}
