3 alligned buttons in Panel

Hi If i want 3 Buttons in a pannel, one on left one in center and one on the right. How can i do this. I am trying this.
BottomP = new JPanel (new BorderLayout ());
JPanel insideBottomL = new JPanel (new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.LEFT));
BottomP.add(insideBottomL, BorderLayout.NORTH);
backB = new JButton ("Back");
insideBottomL.add(backB);This puts backB buttons on the far left but if i add another button to the pannel it is set up right beside backB button but i want it to be in CENTER.
Any suggestions?

  • Buttons in panels that doent work..

    hi all.
    im currently developing an application where panels are switched on a frame.
    each panel has its own actionlistener, and is working.
    the problem is that the buttons i create in a panel get a null value when an action event occurs.
    you can see the code below. (the problem is visible in the class hoofdmenu)

    Your (l, v, r, g) buttons are re-declared locally in your hoofdMenu() constructor... that's why they are null-referenced outside of the method. So, your code should read: public hoofdMenu(Metrio fr)     {
       f=fr;
       l = new Button("leerling");
       add(l);
       l.addActionListener(this);
       System.out.println("l2 = "+l);   // l is full here
       v = new Button("vak");
       add(v);
       v.addActionListener(this);
       r = new Button("rapport");
       add(r);
       r.addActionListener(this);
       g = new Button("gebruikers");
       add(g);
       g.addActionListener(this);
       System.out.println("l3 = "+l);
    }Hope this helped,

  • MAC-CS4 minimize button on panel

    I cant get minimize button on ScriptUI panel to be active it is always greyed out. the code looks like this
    > var myDialog = new Window('palette','myPanel',undefined,{minimizeButton:true, maximizeButton:true});
    the documentation seems to say it works, on page 106 of CS4 Tools Guide it says
    i minimizeButton When true, the title bar includes a button to minimize
    i or iconify the window, if the platform and window type allow it. When
    i false, it does not. Default is false for type palette, true for type window.
    i Main windows cannot have a minimize button in Mac OS. Not used for
    i dialogs.

    In CS5 panels works in the same way.
    Minimize button stil remains disabled.
    Someone knows how to solve this problem?

    SO I DON'T KNOW WHAT'S WRONG. HELP.     

    drawArea is defined as a member variable of ShapeButtons, so normally it should be usable from an anonymous inner class as you are trying to use it. However, you have named a parameter of the constructor with the same name as the member variable. This means that when you use that variable name, you are referring to the local variable. If local variables are not final, then they cannot be used in inner classes defined within that function. You have three options:
    1) Rename the constructor parameter so that drawArea always refers to the member variable.
    2) Declare the constructor parameter final with the final keyword.
    3) Refer to the drawArea inside the inner classes using the 'qualified this' variable.
    The third option is the one I would use, the first being my second choice and the second option the last.
    Inside the inner class, 'this' refers to the instance of the inner class. You can refer to the instance of the outter class associated with that instance by prepending the name of the enlosing class with a '.' to the 'this' keyword. For example:
    public ShapeButtons(PickCanvas drawArea) {
        this.drawArea= drawArea;
        rect = new Button( "Rect" );
        ActionListener lis1 = new ActionListener() {
            public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent e ) {
                //ShapeButtons.this refers to instance of enclosing class
                ShapeButtons.this.drawArea.setShape(1);
    }I was being nice and I answered your question, but next USE CODE TAGS!!!

  • Easy question about buttons and panels

    Hey all,
    I have a problem with button visibility.
    When I put buttons on a panel and then make the panel invisible,
    you can still see the buttons if you move your mouse over them!
    Strangely enough this only happens when I use a panel in a seperate class. Does anyone know why this happens, or better yet; a solution?
    Thanks

    Somehow I don't believe you. What do you mean "...you can still see the buttons if you move your mouse over them...". Is there a chance that you hae mixed AWT and Swing? Please post a small code example(of course formatted using the 'code' button).
    Mike

    if (tmp) {
    gint w, h;
    w = gdk_pixbuf_get_width(tmp);
    h = gdk_pixbuf_get_height(tmp);
    if (w != 22 || h != 22) {
    icon = gdk_pixbuf_scale_simple(tmp, 24, 24, GDK_INTERP_BILINEAR);
    *unref_needed = g_list_prepend(*unref_needed, icon);
    } else {
    icon = tmp;
    but i didn't understand! seems like it's scaling some icon. but I don't know what icon.

  • Only one button on panel seems to work

    hi all, i have a question regarding this app i am attempting to make. it is supposed to act like a number pad where the user clicks buttons to add an amount to a jtextfield. then click one of four buttons to convert to euros, yen, or rubles. the code seems to be right, but i must be missing something because for some reason only the euros button works, and it says it converted to rubles. ive been stuck here for quite some time, so any help would be much appreciated

    would this be the right format for testing which button was clicked? it is how i have been doing in other applications and it has worked
      if(button.getText().equals("To Euros"))
                            fmt.format("%.2f", (dollarVal / 1.4154));
                            convertedOutput.setText(String.valueOf(fmt));
                            resultsLabel.setText("Euros");
                       if(button.getText().equals("To Yen"));
                            fmt.format("%.2f", (dollarVal * 116.5));
                            convertedOutput.setText(String.valueOf(fmt));
                            resultsLabel.setText("Yen");
                       if(button.getText().equals("To Rubles"));
                            fmt.format("%.2f", (dollarVal * 24.941));
                            convertedOutput.setText(String.valueOf(fmt));
                            resultsLabel.setText("Rubles");

    ..but it is still acting wierd
    if(button.getText().equals("To Yen"));//<---remove the semi-colon
    if(button.getText().equals("To Rubles"));//<---remove the semi-colon

  • Cp5 - Button properties panel

    Hi all
    This is frustrating me so I'm hoping someone has some tips. When I copy a button from one project to another, I often want to change the button image. In the button properties, there is a little folder icon that lets me open my button gallery folder on the C: but it is only just accessible, and sometime, not visible at all (see image). To the right of the 'image button' combo box, I should see a folder, so I can quickly find the button image I need, but in this case it is not visible and there are no horizontal scroll bars at the bottom of the properties panel.
    Has anyone had this issue and found a resolution or work around? Any help would be appreciated.
    Regards
    Amanda

    OK.  Well in that case your best recourse might be to copy the files for your buttons in the Gallery and rename them to have much shorter names.  I don't think moving the buttons around is going to fix the issue.  And (from memory) renaming the existing buttons doesn't do the trick either.  Captivate sets the width of this area by the name of the longest button in the Gallery.  But for some reason, even if you remove or rename those buttons so that they are all short-named again, Captivate seems to think they are still there.  It retains settings somewhere about this.  You may even need to delete your Preferences file to reset everything.

  • Click on button in panel in jlist? how to pass on the event

    hello
    I have a panel of some buttons that i want to be able to load in as many as i need dynamically into a jlist. i get them in fine, but then i can't click on the buttons. i can grab mouse events and listselection events from the list, but i cant get back to those buttons. i've read the tutorial on advanced jlist programming and it doesnt seem to deal with this.
    any idea on how to accomplish this?
    thanks

    Passing parameters to an action method violates the Model-View-Controller paradigm. The button you push should not know anything about the data (your model) in your application.
    The button should simply tell the controller "I have been touched!". The controller is the mediator between the view and the model. So the controller is responsible for working with the model objects in an appropriate way when it learns the button was touched. Typically there are instance variables in the controller object that represent model objects. So in your event handler you will have access to them -- there is no need to "pass them in as parameters".
    This is in essence what iPhil is talking about.

  • How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's appearing and disappearing?

    How can I use the button in one panel to control the other panel's
    appearing and disappearing? What I want is when I push the button on
    one button . another panel appears to display something and when I
    push it again, that the second panel disappears.

    >
    You want to use a combination of three features, a button on the panel,
    code to notice value changes using either polling in a state machine of
    some sort or an event structure, and a VI Server property node to set
    the Visible property of the VI being opened and closed.
    The button exists on the controlling panel. The code to notice value
    changes is probably on the controlling panel's diagram, and this diagram
    sets the Visible property node of a VI class property node to FALSE or
    TRUE to show or
    hide the panel. To get the VI reference to wire to the
    property node, you probably want to use the Open VI Reference node with
    the VI name.

  • How to close the detach popup on click of a button in the panel collection

    Hi,
    I'm using Jdeveloper 11.1.2.3.0.
    I have an af table surrounded by panel collection. There is a button on panel collection to commit the changes in the table.
    Clicked detach button to view the table in full browser.
    On click of Commit button, the detach popup is not closed. I have set partialSubmit of that button to false. Then also detach popup is not closed.
    Can anybody suggest me how to close the detach popup on click of a button in the toolbar.
    Thanks,
    Vinod

    Hi Frank,
    Thanks for your response. Popup is not closed.
    I tried this approach, when the view tree is navigated on the Detach, I see that the tree is same as if it is traversed on the page without detach.
    Printed client id and UI component class in the while loop, result is as below.
    r1:0:pc1:t3 class oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichToolbar
    r1:0:pc1 class oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.output.RichPanelCollection
    r1:0:ph2 class oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichPanelHeader
    r1:0:pgl1 class oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichPanelGroupLayout
    r1 class oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.fragment.RichRegion
    pgl1 class oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichPanelGroupLayout
    db2 class oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichDecorativeBox
    db1 class oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichDecorativeBox
    psl1 class oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichPanelStretchLayout
    ps1 class oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.layout.RichPanelSplitter
    f1 class oracle.adf.view.rich.component.rich.RichForm
    Tried with setting partialsubmit property to false on the command button, still the popup is not closed and my Faces Message are shown behind the detach popup.
    Thanks,
    Vinod

  • How to keeps button in center of resizable dialog/panel?

    Hi all,
    Is there any ways to make a button still in center of dialog/panel when I resize dialog/panel without changes its frame size?
    I'm using kBindAll but the button will be changed frame size. Can anybody please help me resolve that?
    My attribute of button:
    ButtonWidget
      kAMPBrowseBtWidgetID,
      kSysButtonPMRsrcId, // The Plugin ID
      kBindAll, // Frame binding
      Frame(64,220,200,246) // Frame(4,4,265,320) // Frame
      kTrue, // Is this visible
      kTrue, // Is this enabled
      "Browse Pages", // The String value

    Hi,
    I couldn't get it to work using the binding.
    There may be a better way of doing it, but I got it working by setting to kBindNone and moving the button on panel resize events:
    Firstly, make sure you have a custom class for your panel's control view.
    Mark it up in the fr file for the panel's widget boss class with:
    IID_ICONTROLVIEW, kMyPanelViewImpl,
    Add to the ID definitions, factory list etc and set up a MyPanelView class (or whatever you want to call it...), derived from PanelView, for this implementation
    Then in your MyPanelView class, setup the Resize function as below:
    void MyPanelView::Resize(const PMPoint& dimensions, bool16 invalidate)
        PanelView::Resize(dimensions, invalidate);
        InterfacePtr<IPanelControlData> panelData(Utils<IPalettePanelUtils>()->QueryPanelByWidgetID(kMyPanelWidgetID));
        if(panelData == nil) return;
        IControlView *myWidget = panelData->FindWidget(kMyButtonWidgetID);
        if (myWidget == nil) return;
        PMRect theFrame = myWidget->GetFrame();
        PMReal left = (dimensions.X() - theFrame.Width()) / 2;
        PMReal right = left + theFrame.Width();
        theFrame.Left(left);
        theFrame.Right(right);
        myWidget->SetFrame(theFrame, kTrue);
    You will need these includes:
    #include "Utils.h"
    #include "IPalettePanelUtils.h"
    Hope that helps
