Redrawing ArrowButton Of JComboBox In Nimbus LaF
Aug 14, 2014
I have moved this to its own thread because I was concerned that I might have hijacked the other OPs thread. As I stated earlier, I decided to try changing the arrowHead on a JComboBox since it should be easy. I created a polygon so I could fill in the shape. However, I believe that the graphics context passed to the paint method has been rotated counter clockwise by 90 degrees. I had assumed that (0,0) would be upper left corner. But (0,0) is lower left corner and (0,height) is lower right corner. Rotate those 90 degrees clockwise and you get them in the (my) expected positions. I also grabbed the AffineTransform from both the paint method and a JPanel paintComponent method. If you examine the trig values for each transformation you will see they are different.
It is not documented in the paint interface. It could just be related to the Nimbus look and feel. I have not checked out others. I did a web search and did not see any info regarding this.
Attached is my modified version of KevinWorkman's code posted in Changing the Foreground Color of ArrowButton of JComboBox in nimbus LaF. I commented out the part that draws the Triangle (It points right instead of down). The key are the circles which should locate the top left and bottom left points.
Java Code:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.Polygon;
import java.awt.geom.AffineTransform;
import java.lang.reflect.InvocationTargetException;

i'm currently doing my system now and my problem is about inserting an image to my jframe form with thread because if i insert image and when i run it it blinks too slow comparing if i use simple oval it doesnt blink.
why is it that if i wrote the code like this.
public void DrawSnake(Graphics g) throws IOException {
Image image = ImageIO.read(this.getClass().getResource("body1.jpg"));
Image image1 = ImageIO.read(this.getClass().getResource("body.jpg"));
Image headr = ImageIO.read(this.getClass().getResource("headr.jpg"));
Image headl = ImageIO.read(this.getClass().getResource("headl.jpg"));

I'm displaying a table with several read-only pieces of data, and a checkbox field that toggles the row color. The background color for the checkbox is not toggling correctly. I put together a SSCCE:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.util.ArrayList;
import java.util.List;
[code]....
If I comment out the Nimbus look and feel, it works as expected. I googled this problem and found one possible solution on Stack Overflow. Their suggestion is:It's a bug in the synth-installed renderer, quick hack is to force the rendering checkbox opacity to true: ((JComponent) table. get Default Renderer(Boolean.class)).setOpaque(true);
I tried using this line and setting the opacity to true, but it renders the background white. I'm using Java 1.7.0_25.

I am trying to set some serial port parameters here:
public synchronized void connect(String port, String rate, String data, String stop, String parity) throws Exception {
CommPortIdentifier portIdentifier = CommPortIdentifier.getPortIdentifier(port);
if (portIdentifier.isCurrentlyOwned()) {
System.out.println("Error: Port is currently in use");
} else {
CommPort commPort = portIdentifier.open(this.getClass().getName(),
2000);
[Code].....
To set the serial port parameters i need to use Integers instead of strings.
So, how i turn my string EG:
String[] baudRates = { "2400", "4800", "9600", "14400", "19200", "38400", "56000", "115200" };
into Integers for my combo box

I'm having an issue with using a JComboBox to select an item from a parallel array and displaying the correlating results in the same frame. Essentially, I have to add seven cities to a JComboBox drop down within a frame, select a city then display the population of that city in the frame with a label indicating the population. I have two issues:
1) my label text will not show up during execution unless I drag a corner no matter what width or height I make the frame.
2) I need to make the JComboBox selection correlate to the city population and display as a label, not having making that work using the getSelectedIndex() method.
I think I need to add an event listener for the combobox selection, not sure where to add that if that is the case. Here is my mess so far:
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.event.ItemEvent;
import java.awt.event.ItemListener;
import javax.swing.JComboBox;
[Code]....

I have this swing code here:
//dark elixir
Panel panel_4 = new Panel();
config.add(panel_4);
JLabel del = new JLabel("Starting DE: ");
panel_4.add(del);
[code]...
It all displays well etc but if I change the value of one of the fields then I'm not allowed to change the JCombox field anymore.

I'm trying to populate my JComboBox with an Arraylist. Using two different classes, a GUI class (with the JComboBox - called it MainGui) and a class where I extract information from a database and put it into an ArrayList (which I call databaseconn).In my databaseconn class, I can print out the content of the ArrayList perfectly fine, but when I try to do it in my GUI class it just prints empty brackets "[]".(What I need it to do is to populate the drop down list in the JComboBox with the hotel information).Here's my code:
//The dataaccesslayer you should use for classes that deal with connection to the database
package dataaccesslayer;
import java.sql.Connection;
import java.sql.DriverManager;
import java.sql.PreparedStatement;
import java.sql.ResultSet;
import java.sql.SQLException;
import java.util.ArrayList;

I recently posted that JComboBox should be used in a generic manner. I presumed that once declared, with some type Foo, that one could then do:
Java Code:
JComboxBox<Foo> cb = new JComboBox<>();
// sometime later
Foo foo = cb.getSelectedItem(); mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
However, getSelectedItem() is documented to return a type of Object so a cast is still needed. I can't understand (even for backward compatibility) why it doesn't return a type of the specified type. Many other old classes have been converted to generics so why should this be any different? I just found that one could use getPrototypeDisplayValue() but that seems counter intuitive.

I have a student class with fields names and Gender. Now, I have a students' array. such that I can create multiple students' classes: student a, student b, student c e.t.c and store them into the students' array. Now, I store this students' array in a JComboBox and want to only display the names of these students in the array. Such that the JComboBox lists only the names of student a, student b and student c. . When a user clicks on a selected Item on the JComboBox, even though, it was a student's name that was selected, I want the selectedItem to be a object of the Student class. This, I have learnt works with JList by writing your own custom JList models and then DefaultListCellRenderer. Is there anyway, one could also do this with JComboBox?
//Main Method
import StudentList;
import Student;
import ViewGui;
import Controller;
public class SwingMainMethod {

I lately started using "advanced" Swing-Components, like JTabbedPane and JComboBox, but I dont get the ComboBox working/This is the code I use:
public class PreferencesPanel extends JPanel
{
public PreferencesPanel (MapEditWindow window)
{
super ();
setLayout (new FlowLayout ());
String[] resolutions =
{
"1024x768", "1280x800"
[code]...
The TabbedPane is placed in another JPanel, which is placed in an Fullscreen-Window.
Now, the problem is, that when I start the application and open the "Preferences"-Tab, everything seems normal, I can see the ComboBox and the first entry is selected. But when I click it, instead of opening and offering me more choices, the program crashes and my screen turns black (I'm using OS X, on Windows it would possibly turn white, but I didnt test this out).
