Swing/AWT/SWT :: Curser Invisibility And Positioning
Jan 20, 2014
Is there a simple way to hide the mouse cursor?
Also, the e.getX()/Y() methods in my mouse listeners always spit out the position of the mouse relative to window instead of the entire screen. Is there a way to flip that or at least a way to track the movement of my window on my screen? Another acceptable fix for me would be to have my Robot object's mouseMouse(x,y) method move my mouse to a position (x,y) relative to the window instead of the entire screen.
I've been noticing some of my programs have been a little buggy recently, and think it's down to confusion over doubles and positioning. Lets say I have a label called banner that I want to scroll across the screen. Now I need to know the label's width in order to position it, but the width depends on the amount of text, so i use this code:
double bannerWidth = banner.getWidth();
Which forces me into using a double if I want to be accurate.
But the problem is that I'm trying to use a condition that compares the label's horizontal position (currentX) to the left edge of the screen (LEFT_EDGE), minus the width of the label (bannerWidth). In other words when the label is off the screen, it should go back to its starting position.
I assume that means that any variables I use to track the label's position (in this case currentX), or constants that I use to check equality (LEFT_EDGE), have to be doubles as well?
My difficulty is that I iterate currentX. But currentX--; won't work because doubles don't iterate as I'd expect.
So casting becomes an option..... but if I cast to an integer I effectively lose width on the label. And that is magnified each loop, resulting in the label's starting position moving further and further to the left.
I have written a drum machine using Java. Into said drum machine I list all 47 available MIDI drums. The instrument list is placed into a JPanel, along with a gridArray of checkboxes. The JPanel is then in turn added to a scrollpane. I have listed the MIDI drums in order of 'ground-up'. For example, the bass drum is generally at the bottom of most drum kits, so it is at the bottom of my MIDI drums list. Next up would be the snare, followed by the cymbals, and then by all the specialty percussives. Since most beats are started from the 'ground-up', laying to foundation, so to speak, I want the scroll bar of the scrollpane which houses the JPanel, which in turn houses the instrument list and the beat checkboxes, to be positioned, upon opening, at the bottom of the scroll pane. Nothing I have tried works. It always positions the slider somewhere in the middle of the scroll track. Below is a listing of just the buildGUI portion of the code, all the MIDI functionality has been removed to keep the size of the post to this forum down.
So I have a player an enemy and enemy bounds the enemy can go. I need to have the enemy track my position and when I go into the position (I am using a collision method for this) the enemy comes over at a speed of 1. My problem is the enemy jumps to me and then follows at speed of 2 (2 is the player speed). The code is wrong this is why it is jumping and I have my other problems. so my question is what is a good solution for this? I am trying to make a method to track playerposition() so what I am thinking I could do is find x, y of player then store those into an array and return the array to Enemy so he tracks.
player.java public class Player{ int x = 100; // Location of player int y = 200; // location of player int xa = 0; // Representation of where the player goes int ya = 0; // Representation of where the player goes private int speed = 2;

Please note this is not the entire code I have cut some things out that did not need to be there. Also, the code is just to get an idea of what I was thinking of doing. The ideas that are came up with are not meant to be a reflection of what I already have but, what I could add or replace.
import java.awt.GridLayout; import javax.swing.*; public class Screen { JButton start; JButton reset; JButton box[][] = new JButton[20][20]; Screen()

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.

1: 3D space. How do i define the space where i will make my world? Is there a certain point that i will define as 0,0,0 or is there some other way.
2: Camera positioning. When i have the 3D space, how to i make it so that the camera will show that what i want it to show. Lets say il define its lokatios 30,50,100 and direction is NW, then how to i make it so that is see the SW direction from the point 30,50,100?
Just i want add a progress bar for listening MySwingWorker's setProgress updates. When buton clicked swingworker should executed and progress bar should come to screen. I read many articles about that but not understand correctly. Because i am beginner in JAVA.
Question1: Should i (create new class) or (implement to current gui or swingworker class) for progressbar?
Question2: Should i fired progress bar first and execute swingworker from progressbar class? or should i execute swingworker first and fired progress bar later and how?
One of the four JDialog class would look something like this without the comments.
package client; import javax.swing.JDialog; @SuppressWarnings("serial") public class AddCustomerDialog extends JDialog implements Dialog{ public AddCustomerDialog () { //Some stuff goes here to set the settings for JDialog instance
I would like to be able to change the locale in my Swing application at runtime and have all the text elements on the GUI update themselves with localized text from a ResourceBundle of the new locale.If there a simple way of achieving this without having to create an event model for all GUI pages?
I have created a jtable with two columns so I need add checkboxes dynamically in to the first column.Bıt I couldn find something like add.How can do this.This is what I have so far
public CheckBoxes(){ table=new JTable(new TableModels()); TableColumnModel columnModel = null; JCheckBox box; for (int i = 0; i <2; i++) {
I've almost finished building an Editor in Java, but i'm a bit stuck on creating a JCheckBox that saves your credentials (as in password only) . I would like it to be on a JPanel under the password input box and above the Login and Register buttons.
Code: Login.java (Main class for this problem)

The main thing here is using GridLayout, which is what im currently working with but can't seem to get it under the password input box.. check: [URL] ....
how to open a GUI on top of another GUI? I have built a GUI and have a button that when pressed I want to open a new GUI which is another java application within the project, it seems pretty straight forward and I just need to insert 'new [name of application]()'
Button btnEdit = new Button(shell, SWT.NONE); btnEdit.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() { @Override public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) { new edit(); } }); btnEdit.setBounds(76, 10, 75, 25); btnEdit.setText("Edit");
I find myself asking these two questions because I see them as relating. First question is; I always write
Java Code: f.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); mh_sh_highlight_all('java'); (where f is a JFrame object)
to set the close for the JFrame. What I don't get about this is what is going on in the parenthesis. I looked in the Java Documentation, and it says an int goes inside. In that case, I don't really get what the word JFrame is doing there. Overall, please explain what is inside the parenthesis of that line and why it has to be there.The second question is a generic question. I notice a lot of times an object will be created, and as its parameter, you will have to instantiate an object. an example would be
Java Code: Class f = new Class(new Object) mh_sh_highlight_all('java');
What does it mean when an object gets created inside of a new object? Why is putting Java Code: new Object mh_sh_highlight_all('java'); ever necessary when concerning the two parenthesis?
I am trying to add a JMenuBar to this program with just one dropdown to select one option but I am getting an error with the setJMenuBar(menuBar); line as it does not extend JFram. How I would add a menu to this program another way.
public class Calculator extends JPanel implements ActionListener{ private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar(); JMenu noteMenu = new JMenu("Note"); JMenuItem newNote = new JMenuItem("New Note"); public static final int WIDTH = 350; public static final int HEIGHT = 560;
According to what I read, "when programming in Swing, your GUI creation code should be placed on the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT). This will prevent potential race conditions that could lead to deadlock." (See below for code.)
Why is this? How could making a GUI lead to deadlock?
public static void main(String[] args) { SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { createAndShowGUI(); } }); }
I'm developing a Swing Project and I have a textarea in which the item names will be entered separating with commas. The code has to check every element and fetch the price of it and calculate the total amount and display it in the text field. But Somehow it does not enter the while Loop? Why?
Here is the code
String str = accessories.getText(); accessories.setText(str.toUpperCase()); String[] str_arr = accessories.getText().split(","); float t1 = 0; float t2 = 0; for (int i = 0; i < str_arr.length; i++) { System.out.println(str_arr[i]); System.out.println("

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 trying to implement user input in my dice rolling program but I do not understand where I need to add the actionListener. What I want the program to do is allow the user to click on each roll button and have the output be between 1 and 6. I figured I can put it in the "main" class due to the size of the program but I would like to know the best way to go about adding the actionListener into a sub-class for practice purposes.Here is my code thus far:
package com.jprogs; import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; public class DiceGenerator extends JFrame { DiceRollEvent dice = new DiceRollEvent(); // create the roll buttons JButton roll_1 = new JButton("Roll #1"); JButton roll_2 = new JButton("Roll #2"); JButton roll_3 = new JButton("Roll #3"); JButton roll_4 = new JButton("Roll #4"); JButton roll_5 = new JButton("Roll #5"); // create output field for each roll
I have been trying to learn how to use the TabbedPane GUI. I can get the tabs to show up, but the buttons I have placed in each tab do not show up. Why this is not working. I assume that, for some reason, the buttons are not linking with their respective panels, or the panels are not linking to the respective tabs.
I wrote a program that asks the user to enter some information, does some calculations and tells them what they need to order. I know there is a way I just do not know how to do it. I would like the output from the program which is presented in text fields to be printed onto a form I made in excel when a button is pressed.
I'm trying to get a progress bar to work on my GUI.
This is what I have so far, the parameters are taken from another class that takes in an image in packets from a Raspberry Pi and stores them to a file on PC.
public void ImageInfoReceivedHandler(int sizeOfFile) { progressBar.setMinimum(0); progressBar.setMaximum(sizeOfFile); progressBar.setIndeterminate(false);
[Code] .....
The println are printing out the correct values and they are being implemented in the methods, but nothing is happening in the GUI.
I have a thread setup in the GUI when a button is pressed
getImageButton.setText("Timer Started"); transmit = new transferImage(port); lblImgProcess.setText("Getting Image, Please Wait"); transferThread = new Thread(transmit); transferThread.start();
So the thread starts and image is then transmitted, does the progress bar need to be in that event handler?
