BorderLayout help
I got a project to make a 2 player Mastermind game (yah I know, alot of threads about it XD ) using the MVC approach, and server-client.
I planned the GUI already, but I was wondering if it was possible to set the percentage of space (like how many% width) one area takes up.
A picture of my GUI sketch can been seen here
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v488/Loner1337/Gamegui.jpg
I am planning to use only the WEST, EAST, and SOUTH of BorderLayout, and I want the WEST part to be around 70% of the total width, and EAST part to be 30% of total width.
Is this possible, or am I using the wrong layout manager?
Thanks for reading, any help greatly appreciated!
You could try using a BoxLayout or a GridBagLayout. Give each component a width of 70 and 30 intially. I believe that as the space increases it will attempt to assign the space proportionally to each component.

HELP, HELP, HELP, Problems using GridBagLayout with BorderLayout
I have a BorderLayout for my application. I created a JPanel that has the following items added to it:
1)Button
2)VisualComponent
3)ControllerComponent
The JPanel is then added to the WEST Pane of the BorderLayout. My problem is that I can not get my components in the JPanel to display correctly. The items should be added from top to buttom in my JPanel, but they overlap and display side by side, and some don't appear at all until my entire window application is Maximized. It seems as if all my components are trying to display in one row even though I explicitly add them to different rows as follows:
1)addUsingGBL(openFile,0,1,2,1);
2)addUsingGBL(visualComponent,1,1,1,3);
3)addUsingGBL(controlsComponent,4,1,2,1);
where addUsingGBL is as follows:
void addUsingGBL(Component component,int row, int column, int width, int height)
gbc. gridx = row;
gbc.gridy = column;
gbc.gridwidth = width;
gbc.gridheight = height;
gbLayout.setConstraints(component, gbc);
mediaPanel.add(component);
mediaPanel.doLayout();
If anyone has any suggestions, I would greatly appreciate it. Entire code is available if needed. Thanks!void addUsingGBL(Component component,int row, int column, int width, int height)
gbc. gridx = row;
gbc.gridy = column;
gbc.gridwidth = width;
gbc.gridheight = height;
gbLayout.setConstraints(component, gbc);
mediaPanel.add(component);
mediaPanel.doLayout();
}I see that the problem is that you are using the same gridbagconstraints reference to add all your components. In effect, all your components refer to the same gridbagconstraints , you are getting all the components on a single row. The solution to this is simple - Try this out and tell me whether that works...
void addUsingGBL(Component component,int row, int column, int width, int height)
//Add this line in the beginning...
gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
gbc. gridx = row;
gbc.gridy = column;
gbc.gridwidth = width;
gbc.gridheight = height;
gbLayout.setConstraints(component, gbc);
mediaPanel.add(component);

//i've tried placing Thread.sleep between these lines
g.drawLine(x, y, a, b);
//Thread.sleep here
g.drawRect(x, y, 50, 70);
}I also need to put delays between method calls but I need to synchronize them. Am I doing it all wrong? The application pauses or sleeps but afterwards, it still drew everything all at once. Thanks a lot!It is. Sorry about that. Just answer any if you want to. I'd appreciate your help. Sorry again if it caused you anything or whatever. .n_n.

Need Help to Draw and Drag Triangle - URGENT
Hi everyone - I am developing various proofs of the pythagora's theorem
and the following code draws a triangle on screen and the proof follows -
but i need to know how to drag the triangle such tht 1 angle is always set to 90 degrees.
i.e. i need to resize the triangle by dragging its vertex points by which the1 angle remains at 90 no matter what the size.
The proof has got some graphics code hardcoded in it - i.e. LINES AND POLYGONS have been hardcoded
i need to reconfigure that such that everytime the user increases the size of the triagnle and clicks on next it draws the lines and polygons in the correct area and place
PLEASE HELP

THANKSOne of the problems you face is that it is hard to recognise which parts of your code are drawing the triangle. This is because you are writing code in a procedural way rather than an object oriented way.
In object oriented code you would have a triangle object that could draw itself. You would create the triangle object by specifying its sizes and angles in some way. Then it should be easy to change the triangles sizes and angles and ask all the drawn objects to redraw themselves. -

URGENT HELP REQUIRED _ Creating Labels for Triangle
Hi everyone... the code below is my application - Pythagoras Theorem.. or rather displaying it.. But i have not been able to get the Vertex of the triangle Labelled as A B C... I need to do that and change the Triangle Table data to A B C insted of Horizontal Vertical and Hypotenuise and as the triangle is stretched on screen A B And C keep moving as well ...
Besides i need to Show this in the tabel
- Values of A ^ 2 , B^2 and C ^2 as welll as a row showing A^2+B^2 = C^2
the code is as follows..

}PLEASE HELP ---- Also does any one know how to draw a Triangle on a screen which can be controlled by a JSlider such that as and whenits incremented the triangle increase and vice versa... I need to prove Similarity in triangles using A Jslider that controls one triangle while the other triangle is Still on screenSharan,
The code given was part of the assignment and you are supposed to make the changes for your part right?
Please give details of what you have done so far and not expect us to do your assignment for you. We'll be glad to help answer questions and point to the right direction, but giving us the entire assignment and saying, very nicely I might add, "Please do it for me." Just seems to make a mockery of the hours, days, and years that many of us has spent earning our degrees and learning our skills.
Work on it and ask specific questions with examples of what you have done and you'll get a much better response. -
PYTHAGORAS THEOREM __ URGENT HELP NEEDED
Hi everyone - I am developing various proofs of the pythagora's theorem
and the following code draws a triangle on screen and the proof follows -
but i need to know how to drag the triangle such tht 1 angle is always set to 90 degrees.
i.e. i need to resize the triangle by dragging its vertex points by which the1 angle remains at 90 no matter what the size.
The proof has got some graphics code hardcoded in it - i.e. LINES AND POLYGONS have been hardcoded
i need to reconfigure that such that everytime the user increases the size of the triagnle and clicks on next it draws the lines and polygons in the correct area and place
PLEASE HELP
the code is as follows

THANKSCan any one help me with this --
basically need to draw a triangle with BC as the Base and the HYPOTENUSE of a right angle triangle right angled at A...
[ code]
A
B/-----------------------------/C
So angle A should be 90 degrees
and the user should be able to Drag sides B and C anywhere on screen
PLEASE HELP -
PYTHAGORAS THEOREM ) HELP NEEDED
Hi everyone - I am developing various proofs of the pythagora's theorem
and the following code draws a triangle on screen and the proof follows -
but i need to know how to drag the triangle such tht 1 angle is always set to 90 degrees.
i.e. i need to resize the triangle by dragging its vertex points by which the1 angle remains at 90 no matter what the size.
The proof has got some graphics code hardcoded in it - i.e. LINES AND POLYGONS have been hardcoded
i need to reconfigure that such that everytime the user increases the size of the triagnle and clicks on next it draws the lines and polygons in the correct area and place
PLEASE HELP
the code is as follows

THANKSCross post http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?threadID=603432&messageID=3251958#3251958

I am really sorry but I am still stuck. Please help.
Please can someone help me with the following code. I have a number of questions. So far all buttons that I have coded actions for work fine. When The program saves it does it correctly as I have seen the text file. However I have some problems.
1) How can I declare the arrays in another way without setting them to "" when the program starts. I need the program to start and show the previous saved arrays instead. I dont know if my method used for retrieving data from the file is correct either?.
2) When retrieving the values from a file that has example (all are string values). ADAM SANDLER 111 222 333 MICKY MOUSE 222 444 666
Where I want them to be in the follwing arrays as an example.
String name[1] = ADAM
String surname[1] = SANDLER
String home[1] = 111
String work[1] = 222
String cell[1] = 333
String name[2] = MICKY
String surname[2] = MOUSE
String home[2] = 222
String work[2] = 444
String cell[2] = 666
Here is my code.

It's pretty easy to write objects to file, but it depends on what you want to do with that file. Do you want it to be a human-readable text file? Is it only to be used by your program? The file is to be used by my program to save to and to read from. But I understand now that saving each entry as a string and not writing it to an array may be easier. Do I use the buffered reader instead of InputStreamReader? Oh sorry I forgot to mention that the file I save to will later be used when I convert my application to a database type/SQL tyype aplication.

Item listener & combo boxes......please help me....thanks
I did a applet that shows 4 jcombobox......the combo 2 is filling if the combo 1 is actioned, the combo3 is filling if the combo2 is actioned and the combo 4 have to be filled if the combo 3 is actioned.
I did it...using item listener......it works fine....the first time....(in the console appears the lines that i specify using System.out.println).....but after...when i select any combo....i see in the console...that the itemlistener action is done several times......i don�t know why......do you have any idea or suggestion about it?............
Thanks in advance...

Thanks by answer to me.....
Yes ...i already understand why is happening in it.....
I did modifications to my code to remove the listeners and after to add them....but no yet obtain my goal that the combo 2 is filling if the combo 1 is actioned, the combo3 is filling if the combo2 is actioned and the combo 4 have to be filled if the combo 3 is actioned.
I think that at least should it to work for combo1 and combo2, because i don't know how to specify to add or remove the listener from the class de Panel_Data would be .....because i think that with:
jcb3.removeItemListener(this);
jcb3.addItemListener(this);
jcb4.removeItemListener(this);
jcb4.addItemListener(this);
i am removing and adding the itemlistener from the main class w10_a (for combo3 and combo4)...... and not for the Panel_Data class.
ie,
jcb4.removeItemListener(
//here is my doubt i don't know how to specify
//to add or to remove the itemlistener from the
//Panel_Data class for combo3 and combo4
jcb4.addItemListener(
//here is my doubt i don't know how to specify
//to add or to remove the itemlistener from the
//Panel_Data class for combo3 and combo4
Well...i hope that you could help me please in give me some suggestions about it...

Help needed with if statement in a method
Hi I�ve created 2 string arrays. One holds a one digit user id no. and the other holds a 4 digit pin number. I�ve then written a method which should take the userId no that has been sent to the method in the UserCode parameter find the same number in the custid array if it does it should then check the same position of the pin array and check that the pin number matches the pin no. the method has received in PINCode parameter.
At the moment my method receives the parameters checks the userId no. but doesn�t move on and check the PIN array.
Any help would be great as I�ve been staring at this for days now and I can�t see the wood from the trees!
public boolean checkPinAndUserId(String pinCode, String userCode)
boolean found = false;
for (int i = 0; i < userId.length; i++)
if (userCode.equals(userId))
if (pinCode.equals(pin[i]))
found = true;
return found;I've posted my code in full so hopefully everyone can see exactly what I have been doing.
Note - my code uses the observer/observable model. The method I am having the problem with the if statement is in the class HSBC as are the string arrays. in the class ATM in the action performed PINInput button events section, when the pin count reaches 4 it sends the parameters over to the HSBC checkpin&userid method.
I've used the System.out.println() statements to see what's going on and it receives the parameters checkes the userid array but does not move on to check that the pin parameter matches the pin array?
Any help would be great - Hope this helps.

}What I would like help with is the following
I would like output to either a JLabel or JTextArea to appear if a file appears on the network. Something along these lines
If file named nststrace*.* is in \\[network path] then output Download successful, please proceed.
btw I have done my best to search this forum for something similar and had no luck, but I am looking forward to Encephalopathics answer as he/she has consistently made me laugh with posted responses (in a good way).
Thanks in advance, Paul.Hospital_Apps_Monkey wrote:
we're starting to get aquainted, but I think "best friend" could take a while as it is still as hard going as I recall, but I will persevere.Heh, it's not so bad! For example, if I had no idea how to test whether a file exists, I would just scan the big list of classes on the left for names that sound like they might include File operations. Hey look, File! Then I'd look at all of File's methods for something that tests whether it exists or not. Hey, exists! Then if I still couldn't figure out how to use it, I'd do a google search on that particular method. -

}This application works with JFrame, but I want to display the JFrame in a webapplication (JSP Page).
I'm using Netbeans 6.0 (GlassFish) to create webapplication using Visual Web JavaServer Faces.
So in summary:
How can i display the drag and drop application into a JFrame (better in a JPanel) in a webapplication (index.jsp)??
Hope you can help...
Thanks in advance...
Greetings,
RajshSo have an applet that opens a JFrame... JSP or not has nothing to do with it, since it's nothing but HTML the client gets.
You can't have a JFrame embedded in an HTML page. And if you could have an applet but don't know how to get that copied code to fit inside (I mean, content pane is content pane), you might want to consider learning how to do that. -

I have written a piece of code for building a gui with some buttons, drawing some geometric shapes.The code consists of two files called Graph and Frame.
The problem I suppose in the last part of the Graph file, which Rectangle and Circle are called together, the only shape that the program draws is rectangle.Here is the code:
//Graph

public Point(int x, int y) {
this.x = x;
this.y = y;

y = p.y;
public String toString() {
return "(" + x + ", " + y + ")";
public void move(Point dist) {
x += dist.x;
y += dist.y;

public abstract void move(Point p);

this.radius = radius;
public String toString() {
return "Circle, centre " + centre + ", radius " + radius;

public void addRectangle(int x, int y, Color col) {

repaint();
public void addCircle(int x, int y, Color col) {

MarinaHi,
You are very lucky that I'm currently boored. You should never tag a question as urgent. It might be urgent to you, but not to us who answer. And you should also use code formatting when you post code (see the formatting tips, or use the code-button).
I made some changes to your Graph class. The most important thing is the abstract draw method that I added to the GeomFigur class.
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
public class Graph extends JPanel {
LinkedList figures;
public Graph() {
setBackground(Color.white);
figures = new LinkedList();
int z;
abstract class GeomFigur {
protected Color color;
public GeomFigur(Color color) {
this.color = color;
public abstract void move(Point p);
public abstract void draw(Graphics g);
abstract class Line extends GeomFigur {
Point p1, p2;
public Line(Color c, Point p1, Point p2) {
super(c);
this.p1 = new Point(p1);
this.p2 = new Point(p2);
public String toString() {
return "Line from " + p1 + " to " + p2;
public void move(Point dist) {
p1.move(dist.x, dist.y);
p2.move(dist.x, dist.y);
class Rectangle extends Line {
public Rectangle(Color c, Point p1, Point p2) {
super(c, p1, p2);
public String toString() {
return "Rectangle from " + p1 + " to " + p2;
public void draw(Graphics g) {
System.out.println("Draw rectangle at " + p1 + " with color " + color);
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawRect(p1.x, p1.y, 20, 20);
g.setColor(color);
g.fillRect(p1.x, p1.y, 20, 20);
class Circle extends GeomFigur {
Point centre;
int radius;
public Circle(Color c, Point centre, int radius) {
super(c);
this.centre = new Point(centre);
this.radius = radius;
public String toString() {
return "Circle, centre " + centre + ", radius " + radius;
public void move(Point dist) {
centre.move(dist.x, dist.y);
public void draw(Graphics g) {
System.out.println("Draw circle at " + centre + " with color " + color);
g.setColor(Color.black);
g.drawOval(centre.x, centre.y, 20, 20);
g.setColor(color);
g.fillOval(centre.x, centre.y, 20, 20);
public void addRectangle(int x, int y, Color col) {
System.out.println("x,y,col " + x + ":" + y + ":" + col);
Rectangle r = new Rectangle(col, new Point(x, y), new Point(x + 20, y + 20));
figures.addLast(r);
repaint();
public void addCircle(int x, int y, Color col) {
System.out.println("x,y,col" + x + ":" + y + ":" + col);
Circle c = new Circle(col, new Point(x, y), 1);
figures.addLast(c);
repaint();
public void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
super.paintComponent(g);
for (int i = 0; i < figures.size(); i++) {
GeomFigur drawable = (GeomFigur)figures.get(i);
drawable.draw(g);

How to split a "project" (movie) into two separate projects.
After converting two Hi-eight tapes into digital format for use with iMovie 10.0.3 (?), I created a movie called "Japan 1994" , complete with titles, imported still photos, etc. But it was over 2 hours long. (My wife considers any movie longer than 2
