JFrame Layout Appearance
Dec 4, 2014
Below is my assignment and as you can see there is lots of empty space and it looks a bit ugly. Im currently using
content.setLayout(new GridLayout(5,1));
as follows:
Welcome Label and four buttons in the top JPanel,
"Employee count" and JTextField in the second JPanel,
"Employees in System: ", and empty JList in the third JPanel,
Delete employee and Edit Employee buttons in the fourth JPanel
Exit button in last JPanel.
When I set the size any smaller, the buttons sort of shrink into each other so Im looking for a way to have the panels take up less space? At the moment it seems like each of the panels are set to the same size for some reason, regardless of the content.how can I give the frame less vertical height without ruining the content.

I'm just trying to do a simple JFrame class, with standard menubars, labels, buttons, etc. So far, it looks really bad. The only way I can get it to look somewhat decent is if I pack it, but then the GUI is too thin. When I resize it manually, I can get the correct position by sizing it to something specific, but it obviously changes when resized again, and I don't want to set dimensions, if my users are just going to resize it, and mess it up. I want the labels on the left, textboxes neatly to the right of them, and the button somewhere on the bottom.
I also want to dynamically create a new label, textbox and button when they click on "Write File" from the menu bar - I assume this is just done with action listener, but I have enough problems as it is with formatting my layout, that I don't even want to start on it!
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
[Code] ....

I'm having trouble in 2 areas.
I'm trying to draw 3 triangles 'on top' of each other to give appearance of a tree. My code is below and struggling with how to set my x/y cords correctly.
Also I've drawn a rectangle under a new class and that should then be appearing in the south location of my border layout (south) - but it's not.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class Christmas1 extends JFrame {
JPanel titlePanel;
JLabel title;

I'm making a Pacman look-a-like game, now I'm making the map out of an 2D array (as a grid). I already initialized the 2d array spots with "0" and "1". I managed to do this but now I'm stuck.
I want to use the "0" and "1" to print the map. For example the "0" are grass and the "1" are walls. The map should be printed within a JFrame. And I would like to make the width and height 32x32 pixels.
I searched on the internet and i found a couple of example codes but non of it seems to work properly. This is the code I'm using to make the 2D array and initialize the spots.:
public class Level1 extends javax.swing.JFrame{
final int ROWS = 17;
final int COLS = 17;
int[][] field = new int[ROWS][COLS];
public Level1() {
initComponents();
setLocationRelativeTo(null);

So I'm doing a basic MVC layout for a pretty basic game that I am making in order to understand the whole MVC layout. The game requires the user to move up/down/left/right via JButtons on the GUI. Since I'm using an MVC layout and my buttons are in a different class than the ActionListeners, I was wondering what the best way to add the action listeners are?
Method 1:
View Class ActionListener method:
Java Code: public void addMovementListeners(ActionListener u, ActionListener d, ActionListener l, ActionListener r){
moveUp.addActionListener(u);
moveDown.addActionListener(d);
moveLeft.addActionListener(l);
moveRight.addActionListener(r);
[Code] ....
Which method is better? Is there another method that is even better than these two? Trying to get this MVC thing down.

How to implement GridLayout. In my applet, I want to make a grid of 2 rows and 2 columns. In each grid I want to add a Label and a TextField. I want the background to be red.
So my code would be?
import java.awt.*;
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class GridLayoutApplet extends Applet implements ActionListener{
// construct components
Label fNameLabel = new Label("First Name");
TextField fNameField = new TextField(20);
[Code] .....
I have read about panels and frames but, it is all confusing to me. How can you add a label and a TextField to one square of the grid?

I want to make a calculator program as my first ever program and I've been working on the layout and I think I have it close to where I want it but will probably tweak it in the future after I get it to work. My problem is I'm trying to add a MenuBar to it but it is not showing up. I tried having it all over my code but whereever I put it the MenuBar doesn't show up.
public class MySecondCalculator extends JFrame {
JTextArea screen;
JMenuBar mb;
JMenu file;
JMenuItem open;
JButton one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, zero, decimal, add, subtract, multiply, divide, equals;

I create a spring layout like so
Container contentPane = this.getContentPane();
JLabel characterLabel = new JLabel("Character: ");
JComboBox<String> characterComboBox = new JComboBox<String>();
characterLabel.setMinimumSize(characterComboBox.getMinimumSize());
[Code] ....
and I have attached an image of the results.
Why are the drop down boxes not stretched to the right all the way and why are they so tall?

I have developed a web portal using jsp and struts 2. I have approximately 10 JSP pages which looks exactly the same and have two text areas and two hidden fields. All 10 pages are exactly the same except for hidden field value. Can't i have a single common jsp page. How can i achieve it. A sample page i am attaching...
<%@ page contentType="text/html; charset=UTF-8"%>
<%@ taglib prefix="s" uri="/struts-tags"%>
<%@ page pageEncoding="UTF-8"%>
<%@ page language="java"%>
[Code]....
As this is an Assignment page so hidden field value is assignment. If the page is OBJECTIVEs then value will be OBJECTIVE.

I would like to implement a custom Logging strategy for my Java project.I have implemented 3 appenders : one console-log, one file-log (errors only) and another (custom) file-log (with the custom parameters).The custom parameters are : loggerName, logPathDir, logFileLevel and layoutPattern.
I have not managed yet to implement a custom layoutPattern strategy for the custom file-log.When I launch my tests : test1 (default logging setting) and test2 (custom logging setting), I have only managed to get a sucessfull status if I switch the custom layoutPattern strategy to the default one for the test2. My implementation extract :
// Layout patterns : default (layout) and custom (patternLayoutCustomBuilt)
Layout<String> layout = PatternLayout.createLayout(PatternLayout.SIMPLE_CO NVERSION_PATTERN, config, null, null, false,
false, null, null)
PatternLayout.Builder patternLayoutCustom = PatternLayout.newBuilder();
PatternLayout patternLayoutCustomBuilt = patternLayoutCustom.withPattern(layoutPattern).wit hConfiguration(config).build();

JAR after this, when I run the. JAR this button turns gray, and it happens with all the layout of the form.

I am trying to place the buttons on the bottom. I tried a few different things but the grid layout keeps grabbing it and making them a part of the grid at the button.

My IDE has a visual editor for creating Swing applications. The created application windows have no layout manager and use method "setBounds()" for placing Swing components on the application window. I have built an application that uses JInternalFrame. Each JInternalFrame is a separate and different "screen" for the user to interact with.
There are around 2,000 screens in the application and new screens are constantly being added as well as existing screens being modified. As a result, the top-level container - a JFrame - is a fixed size and is not resizable. I have now been asked to increase the size of the JFrame while maintaining the proportions of the screens.
Rather than manually editing the invocations of "setBounds()" on all the screens, any alternative way to achieve this? Also, is there a way to achieve this such that if, in future, the JFrame will again be resized, the screesn will automatically adjust?

I noticed that when building a UI programmatically in several steps the width/height of the Pane I use for layout is -1/-1. I read that this is the case until the actual rendering happens. Is there a way to force that earlier? Suppose I wanted to size other UI components (which are not visible initially) according to the size of another pane. How do I do that? Binding the properties does not do the job in the case that those components are not necessarily visible at the same time. Is there a trick to achieve that?
