Swing/AWT/SWT :: Changing Text Of JLabel By Pressing A Button?
Sep 20, 2014
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?
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...
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 just started java and I'm trying to change the JLabel text by clicking on the JButton however it isn't working,
import java.awt.BorderLayout; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JLabel; public class BorderLayoutJFrame extends JFrame { public static final int WIDTH = 400; public static final int HEIGHT = 400;
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
I am having some troubles with a program fileviewer where you must be able to change font style and size when pressing JButton "Set font". I have solved the most of the program and every menu button is working but I don't know how to set in FileListener class method to change the font when running in main class. Anyway, this is my FileListener class
Java Code:
import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.io.*; import java.util.*; import java.awt.Font; public class FileListener implements ActionListener
I want to switch panel on click of a button and code for switching panels is written in update method (Which gets called from notify observer of another class as part of Observer pattern.
playGame in Panel 1 of class 1 calls another class (class 2)and data comes in update method of class 1(Observer interface).
Now for switching panels code is in gameControllerDataProcessing . I am not able to switch the panels when this functionality runs.
However if i dont call the unoGameController.playGame(playerFirst.getText(), playerSecond.getText() and directly call the update method or directly write the switching panel code . then it works fine.
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.
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 am learning how to program in JAVA servlet+MySQL. Decided to make a simple program where it shows who is celebrating birthday today by retrieving data from database. At the moment I managed to get it working by loading a form.html and pressing the button in it which gets to the result.jsp and shows results there.
My plan was to get a list of people who are celebrating there birthdays initially when the website is loaded/being loaded, I mean when you enter URL into your web browser and you get it instantly in browser. Is there a way to do it the way I want (JAVA+servlet+MySQL) instead of pressing a button/link?
My program has a MainFrame(extends JFrame)class and BasePanel(extends JPanel) class,and many other panels.I had used Images with JLabel in BasePanel.My current panel in MainFrame is BasePanel.I had used MouseListener so that when I click on any of the label it should show Other panel in same MainFrame and hide the BasePanel.But I am getting some problem with that.When I click on the Label,It hides the BasePanel but do not show the new Panel(Dictionary Panel in my code). In short when label is clicked I want to make DictionaryPanel visible and BasePanel invisible,both in MainFrame. I am using the following code on Label:
//constructor of BasePanel class public BasePanel() { dict=new Dictionary(); mf=new MainFrame(); dictLabel.addMouseListener(new MouseListener() { public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent arg0) {
I'd like to change the text on the two buttons which I have in my Dialog Box, how should I do this?
Also, when I click the X Button in the top right of the Dialog Box, nothing happens, and the program only stops when I end it in jGrasp. How do I make this button close the program when clicked on?
import javax.swing.*; import java.util.Random; public class SwingInputExample { public static void main(String args[]) {
Just run the following code and move the mouse next to the text of the button and you will see exactly what I am talking about. Any way to prevent this continuous flash?
import java.awt.Dimension; import javax.swing.JButton; public class GUI { public static void main (String[] args) { javax.swing.JFrame frame = new javax.swing.JFrame(); javax.swing.JPanel panel = new javax.swing.JPanel();
Problem: On the form window, after pressing the button, it doesn't give any error and doesn't give any output. It doesn't reply and i have to stop compiling to exit. Why does the IDE do that, is it about my Java codes or Form Window codes ? ( I have two classes named Lexical.java and window.java. Working with Eclipse)
Details: I am working on a project that makes Lexical and Syntax analiysis of commands written in SQL Language. My form is in the attachment. If will be necessary i'll put my codes too.
I am trying to do a program about a contact agenda, now, I have one JPanel that contains three sub panels (GridLayout(1,3)) where I have in the left the picture of the Contact, the middle one is not important, but the right one contains 4 JTextFields with information of the contact and one JCheckBox that indicates if the contact is a favorite or not. The thing is that I am only able to show the first contact, but I want to be able to scroll between the contacts with a Button that I have in another panel. I think I am actually scrolling among the contacts, but the panel with the information from the contact is not updating the information...
public class PanelInfoContacto extends JPanel{
// ----------------------------------------------------------------- // Constructores // ----------------------------------------------------------------- /** * Construye el panel. <br/> * @param contacto - es una referencia al contacto que muestra. contacto != null. */ public PanelInfoContacto(Contacto contacto){ setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3));
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 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);
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 {
So, Once again I'm attempting to make a Who Wants to Be a Millionaire GUI game. This is the actual game screen code
package WWTBAM; import java.awt.BorderLayout; public class GUIGame extends JFrame implements ActionListener { public static int moves = 0; public static boolean finished = false; public static boolean correct = true;
[Code] ....
When ever try and change the buttons text outside of the actual GUIGame constructor i can't. Like in the main method or the action listener.
The code won't work if you copy paste because it's a part of a larger package.
I'm new to Java, & am using Eclipse Helios. How do I change the text colour within the Quotation marks "Try Again" to red, or any other colour, so when I run it, it will display the new colour.
I have a major problem. the text size is like 6 or 8 pt font and I can't read it. I'm trying to run a downloaded exe program which uses the jre7 which I had to download beforehand. the font size stays at 6 or 8 even if I try to change it in windows settings. it's a high res monitor on a lenovo yoga laptop. is there a way for me to edit the java code and manually change the font size?
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'm trying to make a JLabel with an image fade in from transparent to fully visible.Is this possible with the JLabel itself or would I have to change the Image? If I'd have to change the Image's opacity how would I do this?
