Swing/AWT/SWT :: Resize JPanel Vertically Instead Of Inner Components?
Jan 10, 2014
My JPanel when adding components to it will never make its self larger but it will make my components inside smaller even though I have set the minimum and preferred sizes for those components? I am using the GridBagLayout for my layout manager as I am trying to get used to it.
package manning;
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GradientPaint;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
[code]....

I have swing UI designed and I want the components to resize when the frame is manually resized. The design is as shown in the fig Project UI.jpg
The panel 4 and panel 5 will change their contents according to the list item clicked. Panel 4 just has text area but panel 5 a panel with numerous components as label, combo box, text field,check box will be present.Now if the frame resizes, I won't all the components to resize according to the frame size.

Let me explain by simplifying the GUI to a simple frame in which I have a JCheckbox and a JPanel mypanel.mypanel has a Textfield tf,JComboBox cmb as it's components.So now if I deselect the JCheckbox, all the components in the mypanel should be disabled. I used a code like:
[code]mycheckbox.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
if(mycheckbox.isSelected())
mypanel.setEnabled(true); else
mypanel.setEnabled(false); } });[code]
but the components inside the panels are not disabled. In my actual program I have a large number of different kinds of components in mypanel.So disabling/enabling each of them on each actionPerformed of the mycheckbox will be laborious. Isn't there any way by which I can disable/enable the mypanel to disable/enable all the components in it?

My components dont show until I resize the frame.
public class Frame extends JFrame{
private final static int WIDTH=400, HEIGHT=400;
public Frame(){
super();
super.setSize(WIDTH,HEIGHT);

In my main class I am just creating the frame and the panel then adding the panel to the frame.

I need to create a program that draws a graph, but for now, all I have done is two lines: the X and Y axis. The program is designed in a way as to automatically resize the graph when the window is resized.
Is this code in some way extremely inefficient? I get TERRIBLE flickering when I resize the window. Is there something that will at least reduce the flickering?
mainApp.java:
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class mainApp {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setSize(300,300);
frame.setVisible(true);
[Code] ....
I have added a screenshot that shows the window flickering.

I have a problem with my program. My aim is to display in a JPanel, 2 rectangles from an arraylist, and resize them by clicking. I want to give the user the ability to change the height of the rectangles (independently) by moving the top and/or bottom edges. There is errors in my code but where ? Netbeans underlines 2 lines (in bold).
My code:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.awt.geom.Path2D;
[Code]....

Lets say the JDialog opens 5x5. The user is allowed to modify its size to be any size larger than 5x5 but is not allowed to make it smaller. Is there such a property or will this have to be regulated via code?

Is it possible to allow users to resize columns in a JTable that has no header? I'd like the user to be able to grab the column lines on any of the data rows and be able to resize just like they can in the header.

I developed a swing application using group layout. It resizes when I resize the frame but when I change the screen resolution or when I run the application in a laptop which has small sized screen, the components over lap each other. I need my application to fit according to the screen resolution
The code is as follows
private void initComponents() {
jComboBox1 = new javax.swing.JComboBox();
jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton();
jButton2 = new javax.swing.JButton();
jLabel1 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
jLabel2 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
jLabel3 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
[Code]...
According to the list item selected, an internal frame will appear in the desktop pane. I use group layout for that internal frame too.

I'm using a jpanel with an 8 by 8 grid layout of jlabels to which I'm adding images to represent a chess board. At first, I was using the ImageIcon class to initialize my icons, but as soon as I added these icons to the labels, the labels no longer changed size with the window (which I want to happen). URL...
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. Is something wrong with the class, or with my implimentation of it, and how would I fix this?

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

I have a JPanel with vertical BoxLayout. It contains four components. I set the JPanel to LEFT_ALIGNMENT, which has no effect on its components. I set the first component to LEFT_ALIGNMENT, which has no effect. Only after I have set all four components to LEFT_ALIGNMENT do any of them align properly.
This suggests that it is impossible to have varying alignments in a container. They must all be the same alignment.
I accept that this is just the way things are: "Java works in mysterious ways." And I'm sure that it is possible to work around this limitation by stacking boxes that themselves have different internal alignments.
But I still wonder what in the world was going on in the minds of the Java developers. Is there a rational reason for this oddity?
This raises my most serious criticism of Swing: the hidden gotcha. Swing is a tangled mess of cross-connecting requirements that are impossible to divine by simple inspection of the documentation. If you want to use, say, a JRadioButton, it's not enough to study the documentation on JRadioButtons; you must also consult lots of documents for which there is no obvious connection to JRadioButton other than it being part of Swing.

I keep hearing these two term when it comes to painting in Swing, however, I'm not sure which is which. To my understanding is that the child components are the ones that already exist on screen (could be a JButton, JFrame, or custom painting) . and the parent components are the one to be added/drawn next. (hence, if we override the paintChildren() method when painting, the components that were already on the screen don't appear any more).

I wish to display a progress bar during a lengthy file translation process. When I created a ProgressBar class to do this and tested it with a short test program, it seemed to work fine. But when I add my ProgressBar class to a package containing various other classes, put that package in a jar file, and then execute the class using the progress bar from a menu in my main program, the frame of the progress bar shows up with the appropriate caption but the JLabel, JProgressBar, and JButton are not displayed. I have gone over my code numerous times and checked that the ProgressBar class constructor is getting the proper arguments.
// package gov.nasa.jpl.ephemeris;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
/**
* Progress bar with message text above the bar and a Cancel button below it
*/
public class ProgressBar extends JFrame {
private boolean _cancelled = false;
private JProgressBar _progressBar = null;
[Code] ....
I have also been wondering whether I need a separate instance of the border for each panel, or whether I can just create one instance and use it for all three panels.

I have quite a specific view for how I want my components layed out. No matter what I try I can get them to display how I want! I'm using three JPanels. There's a main panel that goes inside the tabbed pane. This main panel contains two other panels. The First panel is a gridbaglayout panel, with labels on the left column, and components on the right column. The second panel is underneath the second, and contains a label, and a button beneath it. THis uses a basic box layout, with one component per line. The label doesn't always appear (depends if a component is changed). With everything showing, this is how it looks so far:
However, I want the Labels on the left of the pane. The right hand column should be aligned horizontally and have more space from the labels. Ideally I'd like a gap between the last label/checkbox and the Note label.
This is my current code for the panel/s inside the tabbed pane window.
videoPanel = new JPanel();
applyVidBtn = new JButton("Apply Settings");
applyVidBtn.setVisible(false);
warningLbl = new JLabel("Note. Applying these settings causes a program restart.");
warningLbl.setVisible(false);
[Code] .....
