Disabling All Screen Buttons
Apr 29, 2014
I'm having an issue with a swing application I'm working on. Java version is 4 (I know...). I have a main screen panel with multiple sub-panels (rows). Each of these row panels contains an additional 2 sub-panels. One of these 2 sub-panels contains buttons. When 1 button is pressed, I want to disable all of the buttons on-screen (or any other way of blocking user input) until a background event finishes. The row panels do not know about each other.
The first thing I have tried doing is, when a button is pressed, getting the parent. Using the parent I then iterate through its components, and so on until I'm iterating through the buttons. For each button, I am doing a .setEnabled(false); However, this does not work, why. I've also tried wrapping this process in SwingUtilities.invokeLater() out of desperation, but that didn't work either.
What would be the cleanest way to disable all buttons? Or block all user input? I've also tried adding an opaque dialog which hasn't worked. Last resort would be maintaining some sort of button list, but I'd rather not.

I am having right now is that I don't know how to stop my music from playing? I am making a Connect 4 game with some audio to make it intuitive. Below is my code. This is my Music method.
public static void Music() {
try {
File music = new File("C:\Users\Ken\workspace\Assignment1\src\Mario1.wav");
AudioInputStream audioIn = AudioSystem.getAudioInputStream(music);
Clip clip = AudioSystem.getClip();
clip.open(audioIn);
[Code] ....
I called this method into a JButton i implemented into my main GUI.
if (e.getSource() == SoundOn){
Music();}
if (e.getSource() == SoundOff){
//What do I put here?
}
There is the method and my JButton.

Let me explain by simplifying the GUI to a simple frame in which I have a JCheckbox and a JPanel mypanel.mypanel has a Textfield tf,JComboBox cmb as it's components.So now if I deselect the JCheckbox, all the components in the mypanel should be disabled. I used a code like:
[code]mycheckbox.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
if(mycheckbox.isSelected())
mypanel.setEnabled(true); else
mypanel.setEnabled(false); } });[code]
but the components inside the panels are not disabled. In my actual program I have a large number of different kinds of components in mypanel.So disabling/enabling each of them on each actionPerformed of the mycheckbox will be laborious. Isn't there any way by which I can disable/enable the mypanel to disable/enable all the components in it?

I'm making a game of checkers for my A2 Computing coursework which is due in within a week. I have completely finished the game, and only thing I have left to do is connect the two JPanels together via a CardLayout that I have made. However I am unsure how to do so
Here is the code from my CardLayout:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.CardLayout;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ItemEvent;
import java.awt.event.ItemListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
[Code] ....
I have kept the code I am displaying to a minimal, hence I have removed all the action listeners for my buttons, anyway the problem I have is that, I would like it so that when the user clicks on the 'Multiplayer' button which is the array button ourButtons[1], it will then transition into my main game screen so that the user can then play a game of checkers.
Here is the main important GUI from my CheckerBoard class:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class CheckerBoard extends JPanel implements ActionListener, MouseListener {
// Main routine that opens an Applet that shows a CheckerBoard
public static void main(String[] args) {
new CLayout();
[Code] ....
Once again kept to a minimal.

I'm experimenting the basic concepts of Servlet technology with my below simple setup.
I have a welcome.jsp defined under webContent in eclipse and my welcome.jsp looks like
<%@ page language="java" contentType="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1"
pageEncoding="ISO-8859-1" [b]session="false"[/b]%>
<%@ taglib prefix="c" uri="http://java.sun.com/jsp/jstl/core" %>
<!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd">
[Code] ....
Now I have few questions based on the above setup
1) As you see session="false" in jsp, and when I used scriptlet like <%= request.getSession(false) %>, I see "null" being printed but if I use pageContext.request.session.id, the session is not null. How does session = "false" influences scriptlets and implicit objects and why the behavior is different
2) If session really exists, even when session=false is used, when I disabled cookies in FireFox browser and click on "click Me" hyperlink, the control goes to Controller, but in the servlet, I see 'No Session Created" being displayed. Which means session was not created and probably because I used false is getSession(false). But if I enable cookies, with the same setup, I get Session ID = << some value>> being printed and this is same as the session what printed through pageContext.request.session.id in the jsp.
So when cookies disabled, how can pageContext.request.session.id actually printed session id , but not in servlet and when cookies enabled, the same session id is displayed in both cases.
My question is why there is no impact in jsp, when cookies are disabled.

This is my modalPanel code:
<rich:modalPanel id="createManagedObject" moveable="false" autosized="true" width="500" rendered="true" domElementAttachment="form">
<f:facet name="header">
<h:panelGroup>
<h:outputText value="Create Managed Object"></h:outputText>
</h:panelGroup>
</f:facet>
<f:facet name="controls">
<h:outputLink onclick="#{rich:component('createManagedObject')}.hide(); return false;">
[Code] ....
As shown in the above code:
I have following components in ModalPanel:
1) ComboBox
2) Instance
3) Save and Cancel
I wanted some validation here :
For example:
- The Instance Text box and SAVE button should be disabled. When the pop up appears.
- The Instance Text BOX gets enabled only when any selection happenes in COMBO Box
- The SAVE button gets enabled only when COMBO BOX and INSTANCE TEXT BOX is filled.
- Let the CANCEL button be enabled always.

I have started to create a calculator using Java SWING. I am new to this and don't know a huge amount. I don't know what to do now.
How do I add actions to the buttons? So when the button is pressed it will appear in the text area?
Where do I put these commands also? Within public void gui?
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
lic class Calc extends JFrame implements ActionListener {
private JButton ZeroButton = new JButton("0");
private JButton OneButton = new JButton("1");

I am learning out design patterns and doing a little fun project on Model Control View (MCV). I got the concept down, it is pretty simple for the most part. However my buttons are not working.
Here is the code:
public class Controller
{
private Model model;
private View view;
Controller(Model model, View view) {
this.model = model;
this.view = view;
[code]....
It runs but nothing. My other questions is how can I make a box that will print the results.

Right now, i'm trying to do is when a user clicks on my GUI button, it would display a text of information on the button they selected. I'm using an arraylist of objects and i'm trying to input the function inside the mouse click function. But I'm not sure how to properly display that information. Here is my GUI code. I'm working on the raven button. I have animal interface, with a parent class of Bird, and child class of Raven. How I could display this correctly...
public class AnimalJF extends JFrame {
private JPanel contentPane;
private JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static ArrayList<Bird> Birdlist = new ArrayList<Bird>();
public static void main(String[] args) {
Birdlist.add(new Eagle());
[Code] .....

So I have a Jframe that has a set of functions that act on a node. What I want to do is allow the user to expand the gui by creating new sets (copies) of these functions when they have more nodes.I thought of hiding extra sets and making it appear they are adding them by making them visible.

I am attempting to get the x and y coordinate of a matrix of buttons. I have googled my way to failure and read the docs and I think I am traveling of track.
Below is where I create a matrix of buttons via Swing
public class View extends Mybuttons{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
JFrame frame;
JPanel matrixPanel, optionsPanel;
Mybuttons[][] matrixBtn;
Later in this class:
JPanel matrixPan(){
matrixBtn = new Mybuttons[25][25];
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setSize(550,550);
panel.setLayout(new GridLayout(25,25));
//creating a 25x25 matrix of buttons
[Code]...
In the controller class I am trying to get the index of each button in the getUnvisitedChildNode method. I need to do this so I can search the buttons around the button passed to it and check if they are been visited yet. Below getUnvisitedChildNode you will be bfs (breadth first search).
private Mybuttons getUnvisitedChildNode(Mybuttons b){
//example of some of the things I have tried
int x= Mybuttons.getComponentAt(b);
int y= Mybuttons.indexOf(b);
int j=0;
return b;
}
[Code]...

I'm just wondering whether it is possible to use images as a button in Java. I have two images that I want to use to create a rollover effect, is this possible? And then I would like to reset my java program when the button is clicked, is this also possible?

I'm learning the swing options of Java, and my first exercise was the typical Chat Room. I got everything right: TextField, TextArea, the jpanel at left side and the buttons inside of it. BUT I can't order the 2 buttons (1 north, 1 south). I've already looked for answers, but didn't find anything and I tried to asked the teacher, but she was too lazy to look for the error. Here is my code:
f=new JFrame("Chat Room");
b1=new JButton("Send");
b2=new JButton("Emoticons");
public void showWindow(){
p1=new JPanel();
f.getContentPane().add(p1,BorderLayout.EAST);
p1.add(b1,BorderLayout.NORTH);
p1.add(b2,BorderLayout.SOUTH);

I have a GUI with a menu to do various options. However I want to change that menu to use buttons instead. I'm working with JSwing components and I'm a little familiar with the JButton function, but I don't know how to convert the menu to a button. I think I'll have to remove the menu completely..anyway I tried to start with the file menu but the compiler says no suitable method found for setForeground(javax.swing.JMenu). Why is it giving me an error related to JMenu when I'm using Jbutton objects? Can I not use JButton objects inside a menubar scope? I'll bold the area it highlighted:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.WindowAdapter;
import java.awt.event.WindowEvent;

I did or at least thought I create a matrix of Buttons with values inside of them.
I will show code snippets from different classes:
Made into the view class
for(int i=0; i<25; i++){
for(int j=0;j<25;j++)
[Code].....
My IDE says counter cannot be resolved or is not a field. I understand what it is saying but why not? I try my best not to put a bunch of code on here.
