Get ActionEvent When Change JFrame Size?
Apr 8, 2014I wanted to make a program that would change the color of a circle when I click a button. The problem is that the circle also changes color when I manually change the size of the frame with my mouse. For some reason it trigers an ActionEvent, and i don't know why.
My code is the following:
Java Code: import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class MyFirstGui implements ActionListener {

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Change Size Of Entire GUI?
Feb 4, 2015I built a GUI and after testing it on various platforms I think I would like to make it bigger by a factor of 2.2 or so.
Is there an easy way to just enter the factor 2.2 and have the GUI change by that factor?
I have over 50 components in the GUI. Ideally each one would just enlarge by the factor including the fonts.
This was my first (and only so far) java program. I didn't know anything about layout managers. I used netbeans and it generated all the code.
Swing/AWT/SWT :: Setting Size Of JFrame
May 26, 2014I am rather new to Swing, and I am building a game right now in which I need to display a pop-up window as a reminder for what commands exist within the game. I created a class extending JFrame for this and added all the information I need. However, for some reason, no matter how many different ways I try to set the size of this window (setSize(w, h), pack(), using a different layout, adding the compnents to a JPanel first and setting the preffered size of that, then adding the JPanel to the JFrame), it doesn't work. Instead of a window of my requested size, I get a tiny, maybe 100 x 100 pixel window that needs to be resized in order for its contents to be visible.

import java.awt.Font;

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Want To Maximize JFrame Size
Apr 13, 2014I have a simple application where I display a JFrame. I want to maximize the JFrame size, so I have the code this.setExtendedState(MAXIMIZED_BOTH); in the constructor. How do I find the dimensions of this JFrame in its extended state though? I tried this.getSize().Height , this getSize().getHeight() and this.getHeight()? None of them work because they just return a value of 0. And what is the difference in all these statements in terms of what they do?

Jan 19, 2014I'm using a jpanel with an 8 by 8 grid layout of jlabels to which I'm adding images to represent a chess board.

So I copied in the class, and initialized a different set of icons using the stretch icon class (specifically, the method that allows you to initialize a stretch icon from a filename), however, when I use these stretch icons, the result is the same.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Getting Jlabel Icons To Change Size With Window Resize?
Feb 20, 2014I'm trying to create a chess program in java swing, and for the board I'm using an 8 by 8 array of jlabels stuck inside a jpanel with a grid layout. I would like the board to change size when the window changes size, and the grid layout accomplishes this succesfully, until I add the actual icons to the jlabels. Then the board just stays a fixed size. Someone suggested I use their "Stretch Icon" class, found here:[URL] ...., so I tried initializing the icons using one of the constructors in the class (the one that takes an image name and a boolean value for whether or not you want the resisizing to be proportionate (to maintain the aspect ratio)). However, the same thing happened. The board appears, but it does not resisize. To attempt to fix this problem, I tried simplifying my code, reducing the program to two jlabels within the jpanel, for which I then tried to set the image in the same way. Here is my simplified code:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;

I'm misusing the stretch icon class, or just generally what's going wrong/how to fix it?

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Adjusting Size Of Box With Mouse

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Screen Resolution / Size
Sep 29, 2014I have created a java gui on Windows 7 with Eclipse EE, using a screen resolution of 1366 x 768. I used groups with specified boundaries. For example:
final Group g5_script_data = new Group(shell, SWT.BORDER_SOLID);
g5_script_data.setText("Current DB");
g5_script_data.setBounds(0, 0, 680, 380);
g5_script_data.setBackground(green);
The groups cover the whole screen.
However my colleague with a smaller resolution looses the far right of the screen.
As this is a proto-type and I'm new to Java I don't want to rework everything or convert it to say a grid layout until the proto-type is accepted and I can start from scratch with a real detailed design. It already has 6500 lines of source.
Just wondered what is my quickest/easiest way to get my app to display on a slightly smaller resolution. For sure it will not be anything silly. Something like 1280 x 768 to 1366 x 768 would do.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Mini Paint Program - Changing Size Of Shapes
Jun 4, 2014I am currently writing a small drawing program and I am having trouble with changing the size of the shapes. To do this, I have to access the arraylist shapes, check whether pressedX/pressedY is on any of the shapes in the arraylist using the findShape() method and then when released, uses moveBy() in the Rectangle/Oval/Line class and moveShape() in the miniDraw class to move the shape and draw it in the newreleasedX/releasedY position.
So far I think I have pin pointed the problem to being the method in all the shapes classes, that checks whether the pressedX/pressedY which is the on() method, and the findShape() method in the miniDraw class.
This is the minidraw class

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Automatic Adjustment To Suit Size Of Operators Monitor
Feb 12, 2014I'm building an application in Netbeans and so far I'm making good progress with it. I have created an animated splash screen in myspacegen.com and then downloaded it as a GUI file. I've then imported it into my application in Netbeans but I was restricted in myspacegens.com to the size of the image I could create. I want to know if it is possible to add code to the splash screen project within Netbeans so that it automatically adjusts to fill the screen. I have used the java commands get width and get height elsewhere in my application so that the window I create in a project automatically adjusts to fill the operator's screen but that has a 'window' to adjust and I do not want my splash screen to have a visible window.
View Replies View RelatedSwing - WindowStateChanged Event Updates Window Size After It Completes
Feb 12, 2014I 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?

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.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: Why Does ItemStateChanged Only Change Just Once
Mar 5, 2015I have a strange problems. Perhaps some of you already have had this problem before.
I have method which is suppose to check if the itemstate has changed. It ONLY works ONCE?
Thereafter, it does not matter how many times I changed the selection of the ComboBox.
Basically I have two Comboboxes.
1. If Combobox 1 is selected (e.g. Dogs, Cats)
2. Then get information from what ever the item from ComboBox 1 is selected, and display on ComboBox 2. (Dog Name, Cat Name etc)
E.g.
So If I selected Dogs on Combobox 1
Then display the Dog Names on Combobox 2.
If I then change and select Cats on Combobox 1,
then display Cat Names on ComboBox 2.

Swing/AWT/SWT :: How To Change Font For JOptionPane
Apr 21, 2014I am quite familiar with using JOptionPane and its various displayXDialog() methods and reasonably familiar with changing fonts.
I have a JOptionPane.displayMessageDialog() that is working fine but I decided to make the font larger.
I found an example from which I coded:
Font font = UIManager.getFont("OptionPane.font");
UIManager.put("OptionPane.font", new Font(font.getName(), font.getStyle(), 24));
font = UIManager.getFont("OptionPane.font");
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(this, "Welcome to Mover", "About Mover", -1); // no icon
After the UIManager.getFont() call after the UIManager.put() call, font shows the new font size of 24, but the showMessageDialog() dialog still has the default font.
And yes I understand that, when this works, it will affect every JOptionPane in my program.
I also tried:
Font font = UIManager.getFont("OptionPane.font");
JOptionPane message = new JOptionPane("Welcome to Mover", JOptionPane.INFORMATION_MESSAGE);
JDialog dlg = message.createDialog("About Mover");
[Code] ....
This gave me a dialog with the default font and an unwanted icon.
So I tried
// both
Font font = UIManager.getFont("Dialog.font");
// and
Font font = UIManager.getFont("JDialog.font");
and planned to use that font in my setFont() call but font was null.
