Swing/AWT/SWT :: How To Create New JFrames
Sep 28, 2014
I'm just messing around with JFrames and stuff like that (like previous posts). There is no ultimate goal here, which I realize violates that I should write everything down beforehand and know what I'm trying to accomplish. My question is, does this look ok? I'm going to start doing if...else statements but don't want to move on if I think this is bad programming. Any tips on how I create new JFrames under and if...else statement?
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JMenu;
import javax.swing.JMenuBar;
import javax.swing.JMenuItem;
[code]...

I'm writing a small program in Java to simulate a shopping cart. A shopping cart has an array og objects Item. As a console application, my program runs.But, in the GUI version, I have some issues. In class MainMenu I create a ShoppingCart object, named "cart"(line 103)In class AddItemMenu I create an Item object, and I want to add it in my ShoppingCart object "cart".BUT, AddItemMenu cannot "see" variable "cart".
//MainMenu.java

All I need to do is show in just one JFrame the two combined JFrames. One JFrame namely leftPanel will appear to the left or west and the other namely rightPanel to the right or east using BorderLayout. I already did creating them first as JPanels or as internal classes and subsetted them in one JFrame but that didn't work because it looked messy. And now I've created them as two separate JFrames, compiled separately, and tried to subset them as one in the JFrame. I didn't add any functionality to this program because all I intend to do is to show those two JFrames together in one JFrame. Here's the code:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class dirtyIceCream extends JFrame {
leftPanel westPanel;
rightPanel eastPanel;
public dirtyIceCream()
[code].....
What am I missing or did I code anything wrong here? Or should I use NetBeans IDE for anything as complicated as this?

I have two JFrames the first one is a log in screen where i log in to the log in server that i made using RMI . If the log in succeeds i send the user object witch is Serializable to the second JFrame.
The user object is received from the server. This object contains all the information needed in the second JFrame. This second JFrame is made inside the first one and i defined a method with witch i send this user object to the second frame.
Now the problem arises , while inside this method i am able to read all the data i need from the user object. At the end of the method i save the reference of this object in a new User object defined in the second JFrame ,because i need it later on.
But soon as this method finishes , for some reason my reference to the object becomes null , and i cant use it later on.

I'm struggling with a small project. I have 2 jFrames. The first frame has a button that...
- Display's the second frame containing a progressbar
- Starts a heavy processing thread
I need to update the progressbar on the second jFrame, from a thread started on the first jFrame.
I have 2 problems:
- How do I update the progressbar?
- When the button is clicked, an empty second frame is displayed with no controls. The controls are only rendered/shown, after the large thread process is finished...
I've attached to this post a small screenshot, showing the main idea ...
Source code:
Button action on the first frame:
private void btnGoActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
Progress progress = new Progress(); // The second frame
progress.setVisible(true);
clsProcess myProcess = new clsProcess(); // The thread process
myProcess.start();
[Code] ....

I am setting text to textarea from textfield. It works perfectly. My challenge, however, is setting texts with spaces in-Between them. For example, what I observe is:Amount23 instead of: Amount 23. Is it possible to automatically create word space while setting texts?

I installed Windowsbuilder in Eclipse as described in this video:URL....
To get starated I now want to create a simple JFrame application that works in the following way. On the opening screen I want to present 4 buttons. Based on the selection I want the JFrame to change layout and components so that the same JFrame behind the scenes contains 5 layouts but only one visible at any time. What is the best way to accomplish this? Or should I do this in another way using multiple JFrames or similar?

I'm trying to create a table where the Header is a custom object.
The custom object would be something along the lines of
public MyColumnObject
{
String myLabel;
ArrayList dataForDropdowns;
int defaultColumnIndex;
int modifiedColumnIndex;
String tooltip;
}
This is simpler then what I want to do, but it's the basic concept. I want the column header to render the myLabel for the visual (at least at first). I want this render to be applied to however many columns I have, which will differ from table to table, but I always want the column header of each column to be of type myColumnObject.
I thought somethinglike this would work, but I'm getting java.lang.ClassCastException: java.lang.String cannot be cast to myColumnObject which makes sense, but I thought that I would be getting back my object.
p.s. I re-labeled all my code from my actual project, so if something looks off, it was probably just the re labeling.
public NewTestTable(MyColumnObjects[] fields)
{
setModel(new TestObjectTableModel(
new Object [][] {
},
fields
) {
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public boolean isCellEditable(int rowIndex, int columnIndex) {

I'm trying to create a chess program that uses a JPanel with an 8 by 8 grid layout with 64 jlabels with icons. However, I don't want the icons to be distorted if the user resizes the window in such a way that makes the panel not square. Is there any way I could create a JPanel that maintains a square aspect ratio when it is resized?

I am trying to create a basic graphical user interface for sequence translation (including a JTextField for the description of a sequence and status of function button pressed e.g. “simple” translation and input and output TextFields). This involves a number of different class files. I cannot get my user interface to do what I want and I think I have problems with my "actionPerformed" method. How the code should be linked together?
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
try {
// Get the description, content and result
String d = tool.getDescription();
String input = tool.getInputText();
Stringr = translation.getResult();

I am new a creating GUIs and am not quite sure how to correctly make one. I have done the inheritance parts, and created two extra appliances: a washer and dryer. Now Creating the GUI ....
Here are the instructions to my project.
Introduction to GUIs (+ some inheritance)
For this assignment, you are going to create a user interface that interacts with the setters and getters of some classes that you will create.
First, create an abstract class called Appliance. This abstract class should have two attributes (dealing with household appliances) and two abstract methods called turnOn() and turnOff(). These methods should return void.
Then, create two subclasses of Appliance that represent household appliances (like a Refrigerator or Stove ((don't use those!))). These subclasses should have two attributes that are specific to the various appliance. Each subclass should implement the turnOn() and turnOff() methods. These methods should print to the command line some information about the appliance as it turns on and off.
Now, the fun part! Create a GUI interface!
Your window should have two panels: one for each appliance subclass. Each panel should have 4 textboxes (with appropriate labels) to receive/display information that correspond to the 4 attributes (2 from Appliance and 2 from the subclass) for each subclass.You also need 2 buttons on each panel: A Get button and a Set button.
When the Get button is pressed, the text boxes should be filled with the information from the instantiated object of the appropriate subclass. When the Set button is pressed, the object should then contain the information contained that the user has altered.
In your main method, you should create an object of each subclass, and prefill it with information (either using the constructor or the setters), then display your GUI. You should now be able to get and set the information for your objects from the GUI.
At least one of your attributes for each subclass should be numeric
Note that you will need to handle incorrectly formatted input (You can use exception handling to do this if you want to. Wrapper classes also will work)
If there is text in the boxes when the "Get" button is pressed, it should be overwritten by what is in the object. Remember that these two panels should both be on screen at the same time.
You don't need 2 different windows, one window: 2 panels.

In the class below I'm trying to create a class that will accept dates in various formats and create a range. The first constructor is easy because I send it the begin date and end date as Date objects. Now I want to send a month(and year) in a constructor and derive the begin and end dates from it. In my constructor that accepts the month/year I need to put the this(startDate, endDate) at the top to be allowed, but the parameters are not built yet.
package com.scg.athrowaway;
import java.util.Calendar;
import java.util.Date;
public class DateRange {
private Date startDate;

I'm new to Java and I have an assignment to create a Sphere class that will allow you to create Sphere objects using the code below. Then create a program called SphereTester that prompts the user for the radii of two spheres in meters. The program should display which sphere is larger and by how many cubic meters and display only four digits after the decimal point. I have the sphere class given to us for the assignment which is this:
Java Code: public class Sphere {
// instance variable (i.e., a field)
private double radius;
// constructor for the Sphere class
public Sphere(double r) {
radius = r;

I have a problem with progress bar implementation to my project. Let me explain it;
I have Jframe named GUI. Filled with 2 datechooser combo box and 1 Buton.
And i have a Swingworker class named "MySwingWorker" for my long running task just like this;
package exampleproject;
import java.text.ParseException;
import java.text.SimpleDateFormat;
import java.util.Date;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
[code]....
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?

Is it a good idea to use the factory design pattern for say if I needed to create four different JDialogs for the same parent frame?
factory design interface
package client;
public interface Dialog {
void getInstanceOf ();
void initComponents ();
}
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
[code]....
Of course you would have your factory class
