Hi. I need to design MDI application. I created public class ChildFrame 
extends JInternalFrame and in my main form i added such code:

   //Construct the frame
   public MDIForm() {
     enableEvents(AWTEvent.WINDOW_EVENT_MASK);
     try {
       jbInit();
//      ChildFrame frame;
       frame = new ChildFrame();
       this.getContentPane().add(frame);
       frame.setVisible(true);

But i've got very strange MDI-application :-) Does anybody can tell me 
(or show link) how can i build windows-like MDI application in JBuilder?

Make sure you set your Look & Feel to the Windows (platform default) 
Look & Feel, or it will continue to look strange.

You need to learn about MDI applications in Swing.  JBuilder will help 
you design menus for your frames, and panes for your dialogs, but you'll 
have to learn how to wire them together too.  You need a good Swing 
book.  This is a good online resource:

and Sun's JInternalFrame manual, but I have one more problem: i cant add 
autoscrolling in jDesktopPane :-( I tried to insert jDesktopPane into 
jScrollPane and this did't help :-( How can i make the behaviour of MDI 
conteiner similar to windows MDI-container form?

You need to search Google for answers, too.  In two minutes I found two 
different solutions.
