Add a JLabel below a JTextArea in a boxlayout

I have a JTextArea in a JScrollPane in a GUI, and I'm using BoxLayout. Occasionally, I wish to add a JLabel to my JScrollPane, which works fine.
However, since my BoxLayout is set to the Y_Axis layout, the JLabel always ends up being centered below the JTextArea, and I want it, as well as the JTextArea, to be aligned to the left. I know there is a LEFT_ALIGNMENT operator, but I am unsure of how to use it, although I've read the API for java.awt.Component.
Also, my JTextArea has a maximum column size, but when the JLabel is displayed, the JTextArea stretches across my entire JScrollPane window. I've tried setting a maximum size, but for some reason that tends to cut off some text on the left side of the JTextArea.
The JLabel will almost always be wider than the JTextArea. Perhaps that is causing some problems with BoxLayout?
If there's any more information I should provide, please let me know.
Thanks for any help you can provide,
Dan

Ok I figured out how the align the JLabel to the left:
myJLabel.setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);However, I'm having an odd problem with my JTextArea. If my GUI displays the text normally, everything is fine. But once I add a JLabel to my JScrollPane that is wider than the view (i.e. so I need to scroll horizontally to see the entire JLabel), when I load more text, the text will not position itself within the JScrollPane view, and I will have to scroll over to see all of the text, which I do not want to do.
Is there a way to keep the JTextArea at the same maximum column number, even though there is a JLabel below it that is much wider than the JTextArea should be?
I get the feeling this isn't making sense. Here's the code to create my components:
// Create min/max dimensions
          Dimension minimumSize = new Dimension(200, 500);
          Dimension maximumSize = new Dimension(500, 500);
                Dimension buttonSize = new Dimension (125, 20);
                int cols = 30;
          // Create Tree viewing pane
          JScrollPane treeView = new JScrollPane(tree);
          treeView.setMinimumSize(minimumSize);
          treeView.setMaximumSize(maximumSize);
          // Create HTML viewing pane 1
          final JPanel htmlView1 = new JPanel();
                BoxLayout BL = new BoxLayout(htmlView1, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS);
                htmlView1.setLayout(BL);
                final JScrollPane htmlPane = new JScrollPane(htmlView1);
          htmlPane.setMinimumSize(minimumSize);
          htmlPane.setMaximumSize(maximumSize);
                // Create text area1
                final JTextArea textArea1 = new JTextArea();
                textArea1.setLineWrap(true);
                textArea1.setWrapStyleWord(true);
                textArea1.setColumns(cols);
                textArea1.setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
                                        JLabel pic = new JLabel (new ImageIcon(new URL(DBQuery.list.get(1))));
                                        pic.setAlignmentX(Component.LEFT_ALIGNMENT);
                                        htmlView1.add(pic);Later in the code, I add textArea1 to htmlView1.
I'm sorry if this is very confusing. If there is anything I can do to help, please let me know.

Add & update JLabels

Hello guys,
My problem is: I got a JLabel with an image that is showed in the panel when I start the application. Then if the user clicks on a button, the JLabel must be replaced by another one.
I know about Event Handling, as you can see below. I'm confused about what JPanel Methods I should use to print on screen the new JPanel.
Heres a sample of my code (this file is not the main one..it is involked by another one):
import java.awt.*;

import java.awt.event.*;

public class Simples extends JFrame implements ActionListener
public JFrame frame = new JFrame();
public JButton cg = new JButton();
public Simples()
     //Panel and JLabel
     final JPanel panel = new JPanel();
     final JLabel label1 = new JLabel ("LABEL_BEFORE_CLICKS);
pane.add(label1);
//JButton
JButton start = new JButton ("Start");
frame.getContentPane().add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
     frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
//events
     start.addActionListener(
     new ActionListener()
{      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
     { cg = (JButton)e.getSource();
JLabel label1 = new JLabel ("LABEL AFTER CLICKS");
panel.add(label1);
panel.remove(label1); /* IS THIS WRONG? WHAT SHOUD I DO HERE TO GET THE NEW LABEL DISPLAYED OVER THE OLD ONE?*/
frame.pack();
frame.repaint();

When you are changing a label don't worry about adding a new label in it's place just change the label that is already there with it's setText and setIcon methods. That way you don't have to remove and then add a new JLabel with is redundant anyway.

How to add blank line below the table/row whenever there is no data

Hello Everyone,
I have a table in my report template like below:-
Children / Dependents: Name / Comments: Grandchildren: Name / Comments:
Son John Daughter Smith
Daughter Laura Son Kevin
Son Bill None NA
When i run the report I need to achieve the following conditions:-
Condition 1: Loop through all rows and whenever there is data in any row in the table...I need to Populate and print it.
Condition 2: When Loop is ended, when you see there is no data in any row in the table... add a dash line at the end of the table.
Condition 3: Total no of populated rows + blank dash line <= Max no of rows in DB. And when max no of populated rows in report = max no of rows in DB/UI ... don’t print dash line.
I want to achieve these conditions. Can you please help me.

How to add video track below v1 ?

Hi all experts,
It is driving me nuts figuring out these.
I have a reasonable big project file in the sense that there are many pictures & videos stack on top of each other.
Now I want to add a video track to the most bottom layer (ie below track v1). How do I do that ? When I dis a right click to "Add track", it automatically adds track to the top !!
At the moment I have to select everything & move up so that I have a clear track at the very most bottom. In so doing, I sometimes missed out some clips & it got messed up.
It would be good if there is a way to add track below v1.
Any ideas ?
Thank you
Cheers

Thanks Tom,
This saves me lots of tedious work !!

Add anchor directly below another to same selection?

Hi all. Got a maddening problem I thought would have a more obvious solution.
I want to connect selected end points on two anchors that share X and Y coordinates.
1. Selecting the anchor with the lower Z-index and trying to select the higher one will not work because of selection localised bias or whatever you want to call it either way clicking on the same location again will take me to be referring to the same anchor I already have selected.
2. Selecting one anchor and hiding its parent path to unambiguously reveal the other doesn't work because hiding an object removes it from selection.
3. The save selection tool looked promising but unlike its Photoshop cousin, its most advanced feature is the 'edit selection' property and the height of its powers involves changing the name of a saved selection.
Any advice?

Instead of trying to select the two coincident endpoints by clicking, select them by dragging a marquee selection
around them.
Also understand: If the two endpoints are on the same path, you don't have to select them at all to close the path. Just select the whole path (as the black pointer would), and invoke the Join command (Ctrl J).

JTextArea on a JLabel

Hi,
I extends a JLabel object to display my images. I want to display a JTextArea(on the JLabel) on the mouse position when the user click on the JLabel.
Is it possible to display a JTextArea over a JLabel in absolute position?
Thanks
Patrick

Maybe.. but I need to display the JTextArea over the JLabel...
Can I add the JLabel to a panel and add the JTextArea in the panel but display it over the JLabel?
Maybe I can do it with fixing the JPanel layout to null and you absolute position for both element?

Add a bullet correctly below the text in the previous line.

Hi All,
I know how to add bullets in a word doc, but I dont know how to set the range.listformat.leftindent property to match this particular reuirement i.e
1.1.1. some text
(add a bullet below s in some)
normal text
(add a bullet below n)
i.e check where start of the text is , in the previous line add a bullet right below this text dynamically

Hi Apoorva,
I'm not quite sure what your uiquirement is, seems that you want to insert a sub-level bullet below the previous paragraph. You can use this method to create a sub-level bullet in the word document.
Range.ListFormat.ListIndent
For example:
Application app = new Application();
app.Visible = true;
Document doc = app.Documents.Add();
Paragraph para= doc.Content.Paragraphs.Add();
Range rng = para.Range;
para = doc.Content.Paragraphs.Add();
para.Range.ListFormat.ApplyBulletDefault();
para.Range.InsertBefore("test1");
para = doc.Content.Paragraphs.Add();
para.Range.ListFormat.ApplyBulletDefault();
//para.Range.ListFormat.ListOutdent();
para.Range.ListFormat.ListIndent();
para.Range.InsertBefore("test2");

Add Icon to a JTextArea

Hola a todos,
I want to add an icon to a JTextArea. How can I do that?
Chao
Juergen

With the JTextPane and the method
insertIcon(Icon g);
I can insert an icon but only at the end. I want to have the icon at the beginning of the line.
The text is set by:
setText(....);
I think the text overrides the icon. How can I add the text behind the icon?
setText (valor.toString());
insertIcon(new ImageIcon("libro1.gif"));
Then I have the Text and the icon behind.
insertIcon(new ImageIcon("libro1.gif"));
setText (valor.toString());
Then I do only have the text.
Does anybody know why?

IPad 2/Numbers How-To Add Row Below

I'm creating an invoice sheet that I'd like to add like I do in Numbers in OSX
In Numbers on OSX I just press the ALT-Down Arrow to create a row below the previous product line item.
I'm trying to figure out a way to accomplish this on the ipad 2 using iOS 5 and Numbers
For example, in the image attached, I want to add a productname2 below Product Name Here line.
Thanks

The easiest way is to use the iPad Numbers Form feature.
At the top of the sheet find the "+" tab and tap it. Select new form and base it on the table that you use for the invoice.
If your table is anything like the Invoice Template that came with Numbers, a Form will be created that allows line entry into your table and when you get to the bottom of the invoice list of products will creates a new row. (Use the "+" on the bottom of the form to make new items.
The footer calculations should include the new row's data automatically.
Good luck.

Illegal component position when add JLabel to JtextPane

Hi all,
I want to add a JLabel to a JTextPane, the label shoud be put in the lines of text just like the normal text. I have some questions:
1. How can I put the label in the position we want, when I use the method add(label, textPane.getStyledDocument().getLength()), it generates exception :"illegal component position"
2. How can I set the width and the height of the label so that user cannot know that I used the label. I mean the text on label and the normal text on JTextPane must look the same. Of course I know the length of the caption of the label
Thank you very much

How can I put the label in the position we want, I'm not sure you can add a component using that method. I think there is an insertComponent(...) method to use. Also you may need to make the text pane uneditable first if I remember correctly. Something like:
textPane.setEditable(false);
textPane.insertComponent(...);
textPane.setEditable(true);
How can I put the label in the position we want, label.setFont(textPane.getFont());

Using JTextArea - How do I clear it?

Hi all.
I have written a GUI program which transfers data from a method to a JTextArea/JScrollPane upon a button ActionEvent.
When I press the "Next Record" button I want to be able to clear the previous details held in this JTextArea before I print the new ones in it. The Same for going backwards through an array. Does anybody know how to do this?
Currently I am using the append method to add the returned String to my JTextArea. I have also tried using a replaceRange(String, int, int) method to clear the box before printing new details, but this isn't working properly as each Record in the array contains a different String length, so I can not enter the int values for each specific object.
Below is the code for the application, and I've highlighted where I have used the methods to add a String to the JTextArea. I'm declaring the class for the action event within creating the actionListener, but can seperate it out if people need to see it more clearly.

I don't know, the Swing experts are in the Swing forum. but setText() is defined in TextComponent, which a JTextArea is.

How to add buttons/text to right pane when selection is made from left pane

Hi,
I am new to JAVA development with SWING.
I am trying to create an application where in the left pane there is a Tree Menu and in the right pane I have some buttons. Based on the selections in the left Pane, I should be able to add more buttons and or text to the right pane.
How do I accomplish this? If you guys have any sample code, Please post it or suggest different ways of accomplishing.
Thanks in advance.
user2325986

It looks like you are declaring different main_Frame, rightPane and leftPane and have too many items static and final. Take a look at the code below. I have set GridBagLayout for the frame for a better look.
I am not sure what you mean when you say that you want right panel only and want to add to it. Also, I think you would be better off using CardLayout for rightPanel as stated by jduprez
When you want to show code use {_code_} code here {_code_} tags (code in brackets without underscores)
Here is a working sample of what you had:
