Swing/AWT/SWT :: Disable Event While Performing Long Running Task
Apr 28, 2015
I have in my application a button that when it is pressed, runs a long running task (usually takes a couple of seconds....).
My problem is that while the task runs, I want to stop the button from receiving clicks. Unfortunately this is something I have not achieved.
I have tried creating a new thread and calling the long running method, and using the Display.geCurrent().asyncExec...
Examples of what I have tried so far:
myButton.addSelectionListener(new SelectionAdapter() {
@Override
public void widgetSelected(SelectionEvent e) {
if (myList.size() > 0) {
myButton.setEnabled(false);
myButton.setGrayed(true);
[Code] .....
In both cases, while the button is disabled and the cursor busy, if the user clicks the button, the long running method is ran several times - and this is what I want to avoid.

I want to develop a Java EE application for the following scenario.
Webapp takes a file from a user and analyze the file. This analysis could take hours. User should be able to check if the analysis is finished via AJAX. When the analysis is finished user should be able to view the analysis report that has been generated by the analyzer.
I checked what are the possibles ways I could achieve this but couldn't get a clear idea. I heard about JMS, Work Manager API and servlet asynchronous processing. But still not sure what to use and how to use.I'm not very much familiar with EJB.

Can we cance/stop a long running database query execution instantly so that we can do any another task.
As i know swing uses a single thread i,e Event Dispatch Thread (EDT), But at the same time we can use Swingworker class for better use of UI. When we use Swingworker class the process goes to a different thread and our basic UI is not Frozen. Infact we can do another task. But what I want is I want to stop of cancel the execution of swingworker thread ( Because I that thread takes long time to execute). How can I do that??
I used ProgressMonitor and in the cancel option i canceled the task ( worker.cancel(true) also i closed the connection and statement for executing the database query using stmt.close() and conn.close() methods.
But it does not work. How to cancel a long running database background process in a Java Swing Program.

Simple gui task. it meant to draw pie chart with different colors. i can't seem to find a mistake in it. It works if i put in g2g.draw(arc) i know arcs overlaps a bit due int conversion, but that's ok.

I want to disable one of the JMenuItem on load itself but when i tried with following code it is disabling after I selected the JMenuitem.
what additional changes are needed to make it work accordingly.
this.onOffItem = new JMenuItem("Filter");
this.onOffItem.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
applyTruthFlag(currentBTE.isTruthFlag());
}
});
this.menuFilter.add(this.onOffItem);
private void applyTruthFlag(boolean truthAuswertung) {

I'd like to enable/disable a jpanel and it's entire contents in one fell swoop. I could of course call each component's .setEnabled() method, but I figured there must be a better way!

Is there a way to disable sorting by clicking on the JTable headers?I have tried a few ways but because I am sorting the data when I load it that 'breaks' that also. Here is what I am trying to achieve.
Sort by 3 columns:
table.setAutoCreateRowSorter(true);
table.getRowSorter().toggleSortOrder(6);
table.getRowSorter().toggleSortOrder(7);
table.getRowSorter().toggleSortOrder(5);
table.getRowSorter().toggleSortOrder(5);
but then I want it so the user cannot resort that when the table is displayed..

I've built up an unreasonably large and unreasonably complicated JPanel. Unfortunately, when I use setViewportView to add it to a JScrollPane, a get an extended UI freeze—that operation takes several seconds. I'm trying to figure out what's taking so long. I've tried some fairly extreme things, like overriding the paintComponent, PaintComponents, paintChildren, paint, repaint, validate, revalidate, and validateTree methods in the panel with no-ops to try to figure out what's taking so long, but to no avail. I've tried validating the JPanel before adding it, but that has no effect. If I override the addImpl method of the scroll pane, that makes things quick, but it doesn't really narrow things down much.

I have this code which suppose to sort files by their length and return a string[] of th file names:
import java.io.File;
import java.util.ArrayList;
public class SizeOrder extends SuperOrder {
public String[] sortArray(File[] pathList) {
File[] absoluteOrderFiles = this.absoluteSort(pathList);
ArrayList<File> sizeOrderList = new ArrayList<File>();
[code]...
Now, in the following line: absoluteOrderFiles[absoluteIndex].length() < sizeOrderList.get(sizeIndex).length()
I need to use the compareTo which only exists in Long object.
How do I convert primitive long to Long?
and is it possible to do it in a single line?

java.awt.Component is an abstract class, and it's direct Sub-classes are Button, Canvas, Checkbox, Choice, Container, Label, List, Scrollbar, Text Component
So, when I use addXListener(mylistenerclass m);//which is a method of Component class which object is holding the list of all listeners, for a particular Event Source?
I am under the assumption that - there is an Event Source Object(possibly static) for every Event Source type(mouse, keyboard etc) that holds a list of destinations(classes that implements their listener interface) - added to the the object via addXListener method. When an event happens(mouse click, drag etc) the Event Source Object creates an Event Object and send it to all the destinations. Is my assumption correct? I can't seem to find the location or declaration of Event Source Object and the list where it stores it's registered destinations.

I'm having difficulty implementing keyboard and mouse event handlers at the same time for a program designed to notify the user when a key has been pressed or a mouse button clicked.
I can make and understand a program that does one or the other, but when I try to combine them, either the keyboard only or the mouse only works.
here is the code:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.event.KeyListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;

I have a bunch of textboxes in a panel and I wanted to perform the same code when the user clicks into a textbox (select all the text in it). Right now I've started adding a focusgained listener to each textbox like this:
private void textField1FocusGained(java.awt.event.FocusEvent evt) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
@Override
public void run() {
textField1.selectAll();
}
});
}
[Code]...
Is there a way I can have one focusgained listener that all the textfields can point to but have it pick the right textfield in the textFieldx.selectAll();?

I’m teaching myself Java. I am a fairly proficient programmer in other languages, but this is the first OO language I’m doing.I have a question that is a bit hard to summarize. Or it should be: how can I pass on an object (or variable) to an event listener?
I am writing an application in which you can play a Sudoku game. I have separated the “logic” or the “model”(the classes with Sudoku data structures and methods to manipulate them) from the presentation (the view and the controller).The main method starts off as follows:
SudokuModel model = new SudokuModel();
SudokuView viewController = new SudokuViewController(model);
The first line creates class for the logic and the second line creates the class for the view and the controller. Since the view and the controller need access to the business logic, the model is passed on to the ViewController class.The SudokuViewController class creates the user interface in Swing and it handles the user input. For the user input I have created a number of listeners, like this:
table.addKeyListener(this);
Now these listeners need access to the model since they update it. However, as far as I’m aware the only parameter passed on to an event listener is the event itself. So these event listeners do not have direct access to the model, even though it is passed on to the constructor of the class SudokuViewController.
To circumvent this, I made model2 an attribute (variable) of the class SudokuViewController. The constructor of the class sets this variable as follows:
model2 = model;
Now the event listeners have access to model2, which they can manipulate.This works. However, I think it is an ugly solution, introducing an additional object (model2). I’d like to pass on the object named model to the event listener, but this doesn’t seem to be possible.

The scenario:
* A pop-up menu generates an array of rectangle objects; each rectangle having random x.y coords and colour.
* The number of rectangles in the array is user selected from the popup list.
* The APopUp class has a 'getter' method that returns the array.
* The pop-up object is instantiated in an object of the AFrame class.
* The AFrame object needs to get the array each time the popup changes its state.
The problem:
.
* As I see it, the AFrame object needs to informed of the pop-up's state of change event or does the problem lie in how I have decided
which responsibilities each class is to have? I've tried to be as logical as possible during planning.
In the days of FORTRAN or BASIC we would hammer a solution through with brute force, but I would like to keep to Java's philosophy
of encapsulation and clean interfaces and that it seems to has generated a impasse of brain warping proportions.
import java.awt.Frame;
import java.awt.Label;
import java.awt.event.ItemEvent;
import java.awt.event.ItemListener;
public class AFrame extends Frame implements ItemListener {

I would like to get a checkbox within a table to fire an event when it's clicked rather. I gave tried putting in a TableModelListener but the the event only seems to trigger when I click on another column (as if the table is waiting to see if I will change my mind) before moving on.
I have also looked at the setValue of the TableModel itself.
Do I need to put an ActionListener on each checkbox or have I missed something ?

In JButton's click event, I wanto to show a JPanel to print the message "Processing" on the screen. Before JButton's click logic end, hide the JPanel.
Actually, JPanel is not displayed. I do not know why.When msgPanel .setVisible(false); is commented out, JPanel is normally displayed .But do not know how to hide it when JButton's click logic is finished.
Here is the code.
loadBtn.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0) {
JPanel msgPanel = new JPanel(rootFrame);
// Show the message JPanel

I use the right term, release resources because after clicking the close button, the DOS prompts becomes unresponsive. So I have to close the DOS prompt, then reopen it, then type in the path again for the Java folders. Can you check where did I go wrong with my code? Is my placement of the WindowListener and WindowAdapter incorrect? Please refer to my code below:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.io.*;
public class Proj6exe1 extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
DataOutputStream dataLabas;
JTextField rainFallField;
JButton submit;
String strRainFall;
JPanel proj6Panel;
[code]...
I have other programs where the placement of the WindowListener and WindowAdapter are as exactly like this (within the class constructor block) where they close correctly and some that behave like this, that renders the DOS prompt unresponsive.

I have a JFrame where some elements (one, for now) have to be centered manually on the contentPane when resizing the window or changing the window state. Resizing event (componentResized) works fine but the windowStateChanged event is causing problems because it doesn't seem to "update" the contentPane's new size properly - it keeps the previous value although the window's size is obviously changed. This can be seen by simply printing the result of getSize called on contentPane.
Centering is done by programmatically changing the constraint of the component (using putConstraint, SpringLayout). The issue is that getWidth used in that method returns "wrong" values which results in an uncentered component. Maybe another listener is needed here?
Additional info: Eclipse with WindowBuilder, Linux Mint 15, Java 1.7
I know about SSCCE guidelines but I cannot make this particular example both ready to compile and short.For unknown reasons, I am unable to post the code example. I keep getting this - "Post denied. New posts are limited by number of URLs it may contain and checked if it doesn't contain forbidden words."
addWindowStateListener(new WindowStateListener()
{
// no "@Override" was generated but it is the same with it
public void windowStateChanged(WindowEvent e)
{
System.out.println("EVENT: " + contentPane.getSize() + ", "
+ getExtendedState() + ", " + e.getOldState()); // amusingly, states are actually correct - interchanging between 0 (Frame.NORMAL) and 6 (Frame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH) when I maximize and "unmaximize"
tfArrayPanelCenter();

I have two classes involved in this portion. CheckIn_Search
(class #1) is my main UI and I am collecting search information from the user in a jPanel form. When they click "Search" it passes the search criteria to a method that contacts a web service and gets the results. These results are passed to coSearchResults
(class #2) that opens a jFrame and jTable (in modal format, over the main window created by CheckIn_Search.
The user selects a row in the table and that selection data is passed back to coSearchResults to populate a new jPanel form. When the data is passed from coSearchResults, I want to close its window, hide the first jPanel in CheckIn_Search and make the second jPanel visible. To accomplish this, I created a method in CheckIn_Search that simply hides/shows the panels (it will do more later).
I instantiate and call the method in CoSearchResults as part of the button click event. The problem is, it doesn't work. The panels are unaffected and there are no errors. I've put in break-points and it goes into the method.. Here is the coSearch_Results code.
Here is am retrieving the jtable row id and using the first value in the row to get the data from the table model as there is more data than what is displayed in the table. I'm sending that whole row of data to the method that changes visibility.
private void btnOKActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {//GEN-FIRST:event_btnOKActionPerformed
// TODO add your handling code here:
int rowNum = jTable1.getSelectedRow();
String coNum = jTable1.getValueAt(rowNum,0).toString();
String[] text;
