Arrangement of tabs in JTabbed Pane

I am trying to design an UI with JTabbedPane with 12 tabs...and I want the
WRAP_TAB_LAYOUT for this JTabbedPane...I am able to arrange 12 tabs in
2 rows by setting the width and height of the frame containing
JTabbedPane....but when i run same program on a m/c with different
screen resolution ,the tabs get rearranged with 3 or more rows.How can
make the arrangement of tabs resolution-independent(i.e. the tabs will
appear in 2 rows itself for all kinds of screen resolutions) ?
Arrangement of tabs in JTabbedPane

Thank you all, but my problem is solved.
One of my Panel on which i put my tabbedpane had the horizontal resizing disabled. This made the panel inflexible for adding more tabs, and eventually, when the maximum number of tabs that can be displayed in one line is reached, the other tabs were not painted in the screen.
I enabled the resizing and now it works the way it should.
Thank you all once again.
Regards,
Sreram

  • X JPanels in a JTabbed pane.

    I'm wondering if anyone can help.
    I have an application consisting of a JTabbed pane, within this there should be 'x' JPanels. Each JPanel has 3 RadioButtons and 5 Text fields. I need to be able to refer to each radio button and text field as RB0 - RBx and TF0 - TFx.
    It is obviously easy enough to do this for just 3 or even 20 (despite a lot of coding), however, my problem is getting a variable number (x) of Panels with respective variable numbers of TF and radio buttons.
    Simply I need to produce an array of panels, radiobuttons and textfields....
    anyone anyideas?

    another way of looking at it is to think how can I make 5 of exactly the same panel (just with different names) in the same tabbed frame in just one bit of code that is called 5 times - or x in this case.

  • 2nd time posting: Flashing JTabbed Pane?

    I'm trying to use a JTabbed Pane wherein tabs are created dynamically from the server. In order to alert the the user of the client software that a new tab has been created, I would like the top of the tab to flash or blink with a different color. any ideas how to do this? I really do want to avoid doing stuff like writing my own component etc.
    Tia,
    carlos

    You can use:
    tabPane.setBackgroundAt(i, Color.red);to set the background of tab number "i" to red, and
    you can use:tabPane.setBackgroundAt(i, tabPane.getComponentAt(i).getBackground());to set the background of tab number "i" back to its original color. If you do these in a loop with a delay, then you have a flashing tab.
    You can also change the font color if you want by using tabPane.setForeground(...) instead of setBackground(...)

  • Focus event with JTabbed pane

    How do I set FocusListener to fire with I select a specific tab in a JTabbed pane? If I put the FocusListener on the Tabben pane it fires rquardless of which tab I select and if I try to use an if statement to single out a specific tab nothing happens.

    If you are interested in listening to when a tab is selected you can use a ChangeListener:
    JTabbedPane tab = ...
    tab.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
        public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
            // get the selected tab-index:
            int index = ((JTabbedPane)e.getSource()).getSelectedIndex();
    });Btw, Swing related posts should be posted in the Swing forum.

  • Icon in the JTABBED PANE

    hello...
    How can I put an Icon into the JTABBED PANE?
    So every TAB will have its own Icon?
    I believe JBuilder 4.0 do that.
    Thank you.

    tabbedPane.addTab("Title", image, panel, "Tooltip");

  • JCombobox on a jtabbed pane, AND Choice on jtabbed pane problems

    I have a Choice on a jtabbed pane, on a panel that isn't showing when the jtabbed pane is made visible. The Choice on the hidden pane is "bleeding" through to the first tabbed panel. help!
    If I click on the second tabbed panel (where the Choice is), and then click on the first tabbed panel, the Choice becomes hidden like it is supposed to.
    AND, I have a JComboBox on a JTabbedPane, it works for the most part, but when you click on it, the scrollbox underneath it doesn't appear! Instead, a grey box appears below it. Help!

    I was having similar problems when I was working with JFrames, Anything not covered by a piece of GUI would show other parts of my program (like the progress bar or buttons and stuff).
    Anyway, it went away when I used the setBackground() method. My guess is that using this forces the container to be opaque or something. Anyway, it worked for me, maybe it will work for you also.

  • Transparent JTabbed Pane

    Is there a way to make a JTabbed Pane transparent, include the tabs?

    What do you mean? A JTabbedPane simply displays the currently selected component. In order for the whole thing to be transparent, the components contained in the JTabbedPane also need to be transparent.

  • Jtabbed pane is listening to the keyboard, how do i stop?

    hello
    this is probobly a simple Swing problem. i have a j3d canvas inside a tabbed pane with other info on other panes. i need the keyboard to listen on the canvas so i can move around the j3d world, but the left and right are being detected by the jtabbed pane, but i didnt add any listen to those. how can i stop this behavior from occuring? its very annoying.
    i appreciate any help you can lend..

    The reason it is responding to keyboard events is becuase it has the focus. Request focus on the component in the tab, and the tabbed pane should stop responding. If that doesn't work, try this:
    JTabbedPane tabbed = new JTabbedPane();
    KeyStroke[] keys = tabbed.getRegisteredKeyStrokes();
    for (int i=0; i<keys.length; i++) {
    int code = keys.getKeyCode();
    if (code == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT || code == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT) {
    tabbed.unregisterKeyboardAction(keys[i]);

  • Jtabbed pane problem + flags printout

    Hi,
    I am having difficulty displaying a JTabbedPane which is contained by a dialog. When I display the Dialog for the first time the Tabbed displays perfectly - anytime after that it disappears.
    I found this really strange so I put in some printout statements for the JTabbed pane here's what I got
    When it displays the prinout for the JTabbed pane is ............................
    extCellTabbedPane
    rnh.adj.cellhandovermgt.gui.refactor.ExtCellTabbedPane[,0,0,0x0,invalid,layout=javax.swi
    ng.plaf.basic.BasicTabbedPaneUI$TabbedPaneLayout,alignmentX=null,alignmentY=null
    ,border=,flags=0,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,haveRegistered=false,t
    abPlacement=TOP]
    When it does n't display the prinout for the JTabbedPane is
    rnh.adjcellhandovermgt.gui.refactor.ExtCellTabbedPane[,0,67,193x45,inv
    alid,layout=javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTabbedPaneUI$TabbedPaneLayout,alignmentX
    =null,alignmentY=null,border=,flags=16,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,
    haveRegistered=false,tabPlacement=TOP]
    What I am interested in is the meaning of the parameter flags. In one case it is 0 and in one case it is 16? What does this parameter mean? Where I can get some information on this as I think this will tell me what is happening to the JTabbedPane.
    Thank you in Advance
    Alex

    The flags item reflect the flags value in JComponent
    class. It represents several status
    of the component:
    REQUEST_FOCUS_DISABLE
    IS_DOUBLE_BUFFERED
    ANCESTOR_USING_BUFFER
    IS_PAINTING_TITLE
    HAS_FOCUS
    IS_OPAQUE
    As my understand about your problem, this may be no
    help for you to locate the error
    As the message you post, you might use a third
    implementation of JTabbedPane, so the
    problem might be in the implementation. I
    have used JTabbedPane often with no error
    like you say :)
    Hope this Helps!Thanks for your help here - I would like more information if possible i.e. a numerical mapping for each property - do you know where I could get this. I don't really understand what you mean about the Third implementation. Do you mean simply extend the JTabbedPane? Thisis what I do but I don't really know what part to change to stop it disappearing. Thanks once again. Anymore help would be greatly appreciated.

    If you force a particular L&F you can do this. For example, if you force the basic L&F you can create a subclass of BasicTabbedPaneUI which uses a subclass of BasicTabbedPaneUI.TabbedPaneLayout which overrides calculateTabRects.

  • Change the default arrangement of tabs in the Project Panel

    With every new project, I'm having to manually re-arrange the tabs in the Project panel to suit my workflow.   Specifically, I'd like to permanenly change the tab order so that the "Good" tab is listed first, followed by Video Duration..etc.
    Can this be done ?

    The Project Panel's Metadata Display dialog allows you to select which metadata properties are displayed as columns. You can save multiple Metadata Display profiles. Note, however, that these saved settings define only which columns are displayed.
    The order of the columns is saved as part of the workspace. To save a custom workspace, set up all the panels, columns, etc. just the way you like, then go Window>Workspace>NewWorkspace.
    With any workspace, if you change things around and want to get back to the saved settings, go Windows>Workspace>ResetCurrentWorkspace.
    By the way, a minor point of terminology, in PPRO parlance "tab" usually refers to the top of the panel that you click to switch among panels in a frame. What you're asking about is columns. One reason that it's worth calling out this distinction is that workspaces save both the tab organization and the column organization.
