Swing/AWT/SWT :: Icons Should Drag Starting At Point Where Mouse Originally Clicked Down
Apr 23, 2014
I am working on a simple app that should emulate a desktop with some icons that you can drag around. I was instructed to use the MouseListener and MouseMotionListener. The icons should drag starting at the point where the mouse originally clicked down on it (ie not dragging from the top right corner).
I am drawing my icons to a jpanel, and I seem to be having two problems:The hitboxes are offThe icon is being dragged from the top right corner, despite having setup up a mouse offset at the beginning of the drag..Here are the relevant classes, the Desktop.draw() method is being called from my DrawPanel
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class Desktop implements MouseListener, MouseMotionListener{
static DesktopIcon[] icons;
I'm trying to right a GUI in swing, and as part of my program, I want to open a secondary window out of the main window when a mouse clicks on the main window. Then, once I click a button on the secondary window, I want that window to close and submit data to the main window (like an info form). I have almost figured out how to do this, except for one problem. By putting a variable inside my form window called "ready," and then in my main window running a loop that constantly checks if ready is true and doesn't proceed until its true, I can create the form window, modify the values in it (currently just one value called "difficulty" that's modified by a jSlider), and then when i click the "begin" button, ready is changed to true, the form window closes, and the main window can proceed. However, when I try to put the while loop checking the ready variable inside a mouseClicked method in the main window, the form window freezes when it opens, and you can't see any of its content or modify it in any way (you can't even close it).
Here is my code:
//form window class import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.event.*; public class formWindow extends JFrame { private JTextField instructions1;
I need to modify the drawShape method to calculate the distance from the starting point (the diameter) of any shape regardless of how many sides I give it, but I have absolutely no clue where to begin with this. The ultimate goal of the program is to calculate the value of pi using the shape that is drawn.
Here is the code:
public class PiTurtle extends Turtle { private double mySize; private int mySides; private double diameter = 0; final static double startX = 590.0; final double startY; public PiTurtle(int nSides)

I have multiselection working in my TableView but only via shift-click or using the keyboard but how do I enable the selection of several table rows via a mouse drag? It does not seem to work out of the box.
What it's supposed to do: This code is supposed to see if the clicked card is selected. If it's not, select it and show the player where it can move / attack. If it is selected, then find out what card the player clicked on. If he clicked on the card that was already selected, deselect it. If he clicks on a friendly card (same playerID), then select that card. If he clicks on an enemy card (different playerID), attack that card. If he clicks on a tile, move it to that tile.
The problem: However, line 24-58 give me a bit of a problem. Right now, it works fine BECAUSE lines 46-58 are commented (which also means the unit can't move). If I uncomment those lines, the unit becomes able to move, however, lines 34-46 cease working...
Java Code:
@Override public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) { mainloop: for (int i = 0; i < Main.cards.size(); i++) { Card c = (Card) Main.cards.get(i); if (Card.cardSelected == null) {// Contains / Is not selected if (c.contains(e.getX(), e.getY())) { Tile.reset(); Card.reset(); Card.cardSelected = c;
The gist of it is to create a very basic memory game. There are 12 buttons, each associated with an icon. Every button that you click will display the icon and will stay there until clicked again. I got the bulk of it taken care of, but my issue lies with switching the icons back and forth. I can get them to display one at a time, but when I click on a new button, all the icons except the button I just clicked don't display. Essentially, only one shows up at a time.
So I'm making buttons for a game I'm making. The graphics work, at least to the extent that I don't have to fix them yet. However, click detection is a bit iffy. For example pressing where the black line is in the first picture below, triggers a response. Now obviously that point is not on the button. I have tested the buttons bounding box by drawing a rectangle around it, using it's getBounds() method (which is also used for click detection) and it draws a perfect rectangle around it. So then I tested the mouse click points and it turns out that even though the button is placed at y = 100, at the black line, the mouse point is also equal to 100... Now, why that is happening, especially because, if I place the button in the top left corner, the mouse detection correctly detects the top pixels and there is no offset...
The goal is to desplays circles (max of 30) of fixed radius = 20, with the rightmost circle drawn in blue and left most circle in red and the rest are in white. The center is determined by the location of the point where the mouse is pressed. the number of circles is equivalent to number of mouse has been pressed_ the circles will be drawn only when you push the "draw" button.
import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import java.util.*; import javax.swing.JPanel; public class CirclePanel extends JPanel { private final int WIDTH = 500, HEIGHT = 300; private final int RDIUS = 20; private final int MAX = 30;
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:
I am still learning how to perfectly use the netbeans palette. I just created a GUI and want to use jTable on it. I have also dragged and dropped jTable component on my GUI. What should I do thereafter? My aim is to allow user input figures into cells, sum up the figures and enter same into a database. I have not used jTable before in java.
For example, say I have I BoxLayout with a few JButtons in it. How could I make it such that I could drag a JButton such that it could be in front or behind the others?
I've thought about using ComponentMover and just switching to a null layout right before moving it and switch it back right after like bellow, but I'm not sure how to make it keep the change in order.
import java.awt.LayoutManager; import java.awt.event.MouseEvent; public class LayoutComponentMover extends ComponentMover { private LayoutManager layout;
I am trying to drag and drop tree nodes within the same JTree. I have a code which uses Java 1.2 java.awt.dnd.I would like to use TransferHandler and newer implementation.I have found a code which works when JTree is drop target but there is no code where Jtree is drag source and drop target.
Ok so to learn Dnd image ability a little further I created a simple drag and drop application trying to use an external image when trying to drag and drop. Unfortunately I am still getting errors during the startDrag method call. This is the error message it gives "java.awt.dnd.InvalidDnDOperationException: drag image creation problem: drag image is not ready"
I have created a gui which accepts username in the text field and once clicking on submit button it fetches user details and throws it on gui via JTable.
But when i click submit for the second time using different username the background process goes well and good the vector that i pass to jtable changes with new data but the values in gui still contain the old data.
I'm working on a spreadsheet-like table and I was able to set it so that it would highlight the first cell in the relevant row(titled 1,2,3.. etc) when a cell is clicked. (Just like in MS Excel - preview attached) Now I want to do the same to the column header(i.e. A,B,C,D....etc) . How can I do it?
private void formWindowOpened(java.awt.event.WindowEvent evt) { setLocationRelativeTo(null); int rowNum = sheet.getRowCount(); for(int i=0; i<rowNum; i++){ sheet.setValueAt(i+1, i, 0);
I'm running the code below which compiles ok using latest version of Java and on Sublime. The problem when it complies the output screen is blank and I can only see the text by adjusting the size of the box with my mouse - and then it colours in black. Code and screenshot below. Is there something wrong with the paint/graf part of the code?
import java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; public class BackArray extends JFrame { int store[] = {2,6,4,8,34,67,19,99,10,12,89,68,45,37}; int xcoord = 100; boolean firsttime=true;
I was reading the oracle java tutorial under: URL....Here's the code for the Point class:
public class Point { public int x = 0; public int y = 0; //constructor public Point(int a, int b) { x = a; y = b; } }
and in the Rectangle class you have the following constructor:
public Rectangle(Point p, int w, int h) { origin = p; width = w; height = h;
If we create a new Point object like this:
Point originOne = new Point(23, 94);
and then a new Rectangle object like this:
Rectangle rectOne = new Rectangle(originOne, 100, 200);
Will that set originOne to point to the object Point at (23, 94). just want to make that this is the meaning of this statement: Point(Point p)Constructs and initializes a point with the same location as the specified Point object.
I have my paint application, i use the following mouse event to draw my shapes (mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseDragged). Now after the user paint a circle for example, he must be able to drag the shape; to be able to do this. i think i must again implement the different mouse Events. I have done it and the drag is not working. How can i achieve this. can we implement multiple (mousePressed, mouseReleased, mouseDragged) in the same java class??
I've got the game working just fine, but I don't like the way it starts playing the second you hit the "Run Last Class" button in Eclipse, and would really like to have the game start, then wait for the user to click a button before running the core WHILE loop. Everything is implemented in a single class, and here is the playGame method that starts the ball moving:
private void playGame(){ while (!gameover){ moveBall(); checkForCollisions(); }
All I want to do is pause before the WHILE loop until the users clicks the mouse button, nothing fancier than that! I've done quite a bit of reading, and it looks like ActionEvent may be the way to go, but I'm not clear on how to use it correctly in this scenario.
So for a test i have a small array set as a jlist which is the contents of my jscrollpane, and it appears as if nothing is there until i adjust the window size by dragging it out or in... whats going on?
