messageLabel = new JLabel("Top buttons change the panel color and bottom radio buttons change the text color.");
messageLabel.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
messageLabel.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
The text always displays in top-center part of the center panel. i want to align it as center-center horizontally and vertically. The problem could be, bcoz the jlabel text is inside a constructor but im not sure. The whole code is
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class ColorSample extends JFrame {
private JPanel TopPanel;
I have a JFrame with four JPanels, SensorLL, SensorLC, SensorCR and SensorRR. They are instances of the class SensorUI. Each has a JLabel called Sensor.
The class SensorUI has a method writeSensor that writes to the JLabel "Sensor". I will have four temperature sensors. I have not started the code to read the temperature sensors yet. I will have a timer that will run once a second. When it fires I will read the sensors and display the result in the
JLabel "Sensor" in each jPanel.
I use MyMain to call FrameDemo and create the JFrame and a method
in FrameDemo to add the JPanels using addObject.
I can use SensorLL.writeSensor will write text to JLabel Sensor while in Mymain.
Then I start the timer ReadSensor.
When it times out it calls SampleSensors
For an experiment, while in SampleSensors I try to write to the JLabel in the instance SensorLL with
SensorLL.writeSensor("xx_");
I can't because it says it can't find the symbol variable SensorLL in SampleSensors class.
How can I "get to" that JLabel text when ever I need to?
Java Code:
public class MyMain { /** * @param args the command line arguments */ public static void main(String[] args) { // TODO code application logic here //SensorUI SensorLL = null; System.out.println("Start of main"); //Schedule a job for the event-dispatching thread: //creating and showing this application's GUI. FrameDemo.createAndShowGUI();
I have four buttons with different names and depending on which button is pressed I want to change the label to be displayed. Center is the name of the label the other directions are buttons. The label should change if a different button is pressed. The error I get is that it cannot be converted to String.
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event){ Object source = event.getSource(); if (source == east){ center.setText(east); } if (source == west){ center.setText(west);
I am trying to write an application where if you click and hold down on 1 button and move the mouse to another button and release the text on the 2 buttons should be switched around.I have a print line so I can se the text are supposed to get switched around but it is just not happening in the GUI.
I attached all my code in case the flaw was to find somewhere else in the code, but the functionality I am working on is the lines 76 to 121.
Here's my coding so far...I want to be able to change what the JLabel says when clicking on one of the buttons for example : when clicking on UP i want it to say "Going Up!"...how do i do this?
import java.awt.BorderLayout; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JLabel; public class BorderLayoutJFrame extends JFrame {
Ok, so I am trying to learn about JFrames and JPanels. I have figured out buttons, layouts, etc. What im having trouble with is accessing the label object from the ButtonHandler class since it is static and I need my JLabel to be non-static so that it can change. Basically, I want JLabel to change to a pre-determined text string once a button is pressed. Here's what I have so far
Create a dnd (dungeons and dragons) character creator and back ground generator, have it display and run on a gui, to start with i decided to creator the gui as i go so i can see the progress, first i tried eclipse and windows builder, well after 1 day of reinstalling windows builder in about 5 different ways from multiple guides and sometimes getting it to partly work ...
After doing some more research I have figured out how to get the main program to display the gui . Heres what i have:
package com.mrgreaper; import javax.swing.*; public class MainWindow { private JPanel mainWindow; private JLabel playerlbl; private JLabel playerNamelbl;
[Code] .....
Now this works fine and the gui displays when the program is run but I can't change the text of any of the jlabels or textfield. If I try to do it in the main class i need to change them from private to public static but then in the form builder it says "cannot bind to static field *name of field*" but if i take static off then i cant change its value!
From what i understand this is because the window is an instance, so how to i change the value in that instance? I could put all my code in the one class, the one that creates the gui, but i really want it seperate, i would like the gui to update as the code runs... So how do i do it, how do i change the contents of jlabels on the fly, read the contents of text boxes on the fly etc....
I tried adding a getter setter
public void setCharFirst(JLabel charFirst) { this.charFirst = charFirst; } in the MainWindow.class
Then i tried to set it from my main function
MainWindow.setCharFirst("test");
but it cant access it as my main function is static and it is not now can i make it static...
public StringBuffer padSpaces(String first, String second) { final int MAX_SPACES = 75; StringBuffer line = new StringBuffer(first); int numSpaces = MAX_SPACES - first.length()- second.length(); for (int i = 0; i < numSpaces; i++) line.append(" " ); line.append(second); return line; }
This is what I have so far but I can't find a way to align everything to the right .
I want to create 3 JTextFields in a row with all being of equal size.But my first Text field gets so wide than the other two.After adding each component at a time and seeing what causes the problem I realized that if I type a long text for the JLabel that's when this problem occurs.If I reduce the length of the text in the JLabel JTextFields get into the sizes I want. Here's my code
import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.lang.Math; public class Calculator1 extends JFrame { JTextField value1=new JTextField("0"); JTextField value2=new JTextField("0");
[Code] ....
How can I stop the JTextFields changing size when I change the JLabel label1's text length...
I don't get what I missed in the code. I used the example of changing the text of a button by clicking on it, but instead I also added a JLabel and tried to make the button change its text instead, but it didn't work. What did I do wrong?
This is the code that I wrote but I have two problem with two buttons one of them ... I want to delete the selected text inside the text Area which represented as b[8] and the other button that I want to select parts of the texts which represented as b[0]....
01. pickup the selected text file and read the line by line and output the text in to visual text pane.
what i did:.
01. I wrote code that read the text file and output in to jave console/ also some of the interface.
the code read txt file:
Java Code:
String fileName = "C:/Users/lakshan/Desktop/lawyer.txt"; File textFile = new File(fileName); Scanner in = new Scanner (textFile); while(in.hasNextLine()){
[code]....
so it will read any text file dynamically and output to the text pane in interface. I think scanner code must be execute after the select the file from the browser and set the scanned result in to variable. then later out put the var as string in some jswing component?
I am trying to Make A GUI which has a Jcombo box i also want it to have a jlabel that up dates depending on which option the user selects from the JcomboBox
for exampl if i select lion i want it to say you chose lion on the Jlabel and if i choose ostrich i want it to say ostrich and so on
I'm having problems getting my program to display a JLabel. The program draws shapes of random size and color across a panel. I have this part working. (There is more code for the drawing of shapes, I left it out for easier reading). When I try to add a JLabel in the main method, it does not display.
import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.ActionEvent; import java.awt.event.ActionListener; public class TestDraw {
I am trying to move a JLabel in a JPanel, but can't seem to make it work. I can't provide a compiling code, but a few fragments. I have a JLabel [] array. i want to move with the mouse elements of this array. Let's say i want to move JLabel[i]. I implemented this:
Java Code:
static int labelY; static Point labelX; static Boolean flag = false; jLabel[i].addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter(){ public void mousePressed(MouseEvent evt){ labelY=evt.getY();
[Code]...
I used the bool flag because i can't make changes to the label when it is inside an anonymous class. I also tried using setLocation but that did not work also. I don't get any errors when compiling. But when i run it and try to drag the JLabel[i] i get a long list of errors:
Java Code:
Exception in thread "AWT-EventQueue-0" java.lang.NullPointerException at puzzle.hw$1$2.mouseDragged(hw.java:276) at java.awt.Component.processMouseMotionEvent(Unknown Source) at javax.swing.JComponent.processMouseMotionEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Component.processEvent(Unknown Source) at java.awt.Container.processEvent(Unknown Source)
I read many posts online and watched tutorials on YouTube. I can't seem to get this work. Notice I am not using any drawing/graphics capabilities - I'd like to keep it this way as we have not gotten that far yet in my studies.The image is in a source folder titled Images under/in my project.
Java Code:
private JPanel jpImage = new JPanel(); private JLabel lblImage; private ImageIcon image; private Image img; // All those above defined prior to method // Within method (relevant to code above) ...
I have tried to set a background Image to a calculator usinf JLabel. However I've ended up with my image to the left of my calculator , my calculator textfield becoming the size of the background image and then all my buttons below it. Like so(if you can view the image)..Calculator.jpg
How can I fix this so the background is behind my buttons and my text area is a normal size again.
I am trying to make movingLabel move to a different JPanel each time the JButton is clicked. I can see that the random integer is changing each time the button is clicked, but the movingLabel wasn't doing anything. I noticed that if I click the button and then resize the JFrame with my mouse, it shows in the correct panel. Is there something I am missing, or is there a way to make it automatically display in the correct panel without having to manually resize the JFrame each time? I was thinking that I could add something that resizes the window slightly each time the button is clicked to show it, but I don't think that is probably the "right" way to do it.
import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.util.Random; public class JMovingFrame extends JFrame implements ActionListener
I am currently trying to make a method that will enable a jLabel to be dragged across the screen. I want to be able to drag the object pretty much anywhere on the screen(I hope to eventually make a destination for it where it can be dropped but I will get to that later). I have looked on various places on the internet on how to achieve this and the most simple solution does something like this:
Java Code:
jLabel6.setText("jLabel6"); jLabel6.addMouseMotionListener(new java.awt.event.MouseMotionAdapter() { public void mouseDragged(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) { jLabel6MouseMoved(evt); } }); private void jLabel6MouseDragged(java.awt.event.MouseEvent evt) { x = evt.getX();
[Code]...
This actually works somewhat but it is very faulty. For example the jLabel keeps appearing and reappearing as I drag it. Furthermore when I drag it I can see a duplicate Jlabel being dragged as well in the top left hand screen. So how might I fix this?
