  • Calling a method on a jFrame from a jPanel that created by the jFrame

    Hi all
    I can not for the life of me work out how to do this.
    Calling a method on a jFrame from a jPanel that created by the jFrame.
    I have used this code to set a handle for one jPanel to another.
    i.e I can create new jpanel and pass in handles from one to another but not back to the jFrame.
    // this is sudo code
      private Panel_Top topPanel;
      private Menu_Panel menuPanel;
      private DataPanel dataPanel;
    //create new
        topPanel = new Panel_Top();
        menuPanel = new Menu_Panel();
        dataPanel = new DataPanel();
    // add handles from one to another
        menuPanel.setDataPanel(dataPanel);
        topPanel.setDataPanel(dataPanel);
        topPanel.setMenu_Panel(menuPanel);
        dataPanel.setMenu_Panel(menuPanel);
    // in each class I use this to set
      public void setDataPanel(DataPanel dataPanel) {
        this.dataPanel = dataPanel;
      }But I can not seam to get a handle back to the jFrame that created it.
    Please help

  • Calling modal JFrame from  JFrame?? is it possible

    query desc:

    i am unable to make this modal its modless by default in my code.
    or
    how to put a frame inside a Jdialog

    i am unable to make this modal its modless by default in my code.Right, again you can't do this.
    how to put a frame inside a Jdialog
    and calling JDIalog from a button on another frame.And you can't do this either.
    What you need to do is create a class that creates a JPanel, not a JFrame. In your main application (that's within a JFrame) when the JButton is pushed, create a modal JDialog (or perhaps better a JOptionPane) and place the created JPanel in the dialog or optionpane and then show. This will work, and fairly easily.
    Usually even my main application is created in a JPanel (I'm trying not to subclass unless absolutely necessary), and I add the JPanel to a JFrame when I want to show this main app. Later, if I decide that I want to show the main app as a JApplet, it's a trivial thing to just create the JApplet, add my main JPanel to it, and show the JApplet. Programming this way increases your flexibility tremendously.

  • Getting the Parent JFrame or JDialog

    I am trying to get the parent JFrame or JDialog so I can change the cursor. Right now I am doing it in a stupid way by doing this:
    private void changeCursorQuestion(){
              JFrame frame=(JFrame) getParent().getParent().getParent().getParent().getParent().getParent().getParent();
              Cursor cursor=new Cursor(Cursor.HAND_CURSOR);
              frame.setCursor(cursor);
         }//end changeCursorQuestionBut is there an easier and of course better way of getting the frame or jdialog that a panel is in?

    I am trying to get the parent JFrame or JDialog so I can change the cursor. You can change the cursor of the JPanel ( in fact any Container) so why use that getParent() thing....
    Also, if you want to have quick refrence to JFrame object from JPanel, extend JPanel to make a new class and have a refrence to that JFrame/JDialog in that class, that way you can access it quickly.
    Thanks!

  • GUI components not clearing from JDialog closing

    Greetings,
    I have developed an application which works on several different computers with several different JVMs, but which does not operate as anticipated on my (new) tablet PC. It leaves GUI components on the main JFrame from various Jdialog boxes (after closing them) that I throw at the user when the program starts.
    I also have a username/password prompt at the beginning which is another JFrame that doesn't appear correctly. The input areas do not appear with a white background and the Username and Password JLabels have echoed themselves into that area.
    I'm guessing this is Windows XP, Tablet Edition issue. I'd like to know if anyone else has experienced anything similar?
    FYI, this programs works quite well on Windows 98, Windows XP Home and Professtional, Windows 2000, and Windows ME.
    Any help would be most appreciated.
    Regards

    Hi all,
    I am trying to develop a Java application on the Tablet PC. I am new to this platform and could not find much information about Java related Tablet PC development .So I am posting this question here
    Details
    I have developed a Swing Application in Java (J2SDK 1.4.2) for a Client, which currently runs on Windows XP on the Standard Laptop. The application uses the following
    1) Menus
    2) Panels
    3) Dialogs
    It consists of an entry form, which is saved as an XML file on the user's computer. Also it uses an Access Database.
    The other thing that the application uses is a Signature Capture Device to capture a user's signature
    I would like to move this application to the Tablet PC.
    I have the following questions
    1) What SDK do I use for the Tablet PC? Also what version of Java web start and Run time?
    2) What kind of changes do I need to make in my application?
    3) Can I make use of the "Ink" feature, which is provided with a Tablet PC in Java?
    4) Where can I find user samples if any for Java Tablet PC development?
    BTW I am using Toshiba Prot�g� 3500 for my project.
    Thanks,
    Raja

  • HELP: How to get window (JFrame) from JPanel ???

    Hi there,
    anyone knows how I can get a ref. to the window (in the form of JFrame) from my JPanel that is in the actual window??
    I need that window when I display a modal dialog from the panel, as the dialog constructor takes the window as a param.
    I could always pass a window-ref. to the JPanel when I create it, but as I have a lot of panels, I'd rather be able to get it just when I need it from the JPanel!
    Thanks a lot for any help on this issue!
    Best regards,
    AC

    Thanks a lot!
    I'll use windowForComponent in swingUtils, I think getRootPane() would only return the panel that the component is in!
    Regards,
    AC

  • Disposing JFrame from JPanel

    Right, I suspect this has an easy solution, or maybe I have already happened on it, but I thought I'd best ask just in case.
    I have an application that creates a JFrame from another JFrame, with a JPanel internal to it. What I want to happen is for the JPanel to do its business in its paintComponent method, and then dispose of its parent JFrame (that's dispose - no System.exit(0)'s here please :) ).
    The only way I can see to do it is to pass a reference to the JFrame when the JPanel is created. But this seems to be a bit messy encapsulation-wise.
    Any comers?

    you could make the parent JFrame have a thread that checked the status of the child JFrame's JPanel every second or so and then close itself when the JPanel is finished doing whatever it is doing.

  • Can not add a picture to the JFrame from an ActionListener class

    As topic says, I can not add a picture to the JFrame from an ActionListener class which is a class inside the JFrame class.
    I have a Map.java class where I load an image with ImageIcon chosen with JFileChooser.
    I my window class (main class), I have following:
    class OpenImage_Listener implements ActionListener
         public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
              int ans = open.showOpenDialog(MainProgram.this);     // "open" is the JFileChooser reference
              if(ans == open.APPROVE_OPTION)
                   File file = open.getSelectedFile();                    
                   MainProgram.this.add(new Map(file.getName()), BorderLayout.CENTER);     // this line does not work - it does not add the choosen picture on the window,
                            //but if I add the picture outside this listener class and inside the MainProgram constructor, the picture apperas, but then I cannot use the JFileChooser.
                            showMessageDialog(MainProgram.this, fil.getName() ,"It works", INFORMATION_MESSAGE);  // this popup works, and thereby the ActionListener also works.
    }So why can�t I add a picture to the window from the above listener class?

    The SSCCE:
    Ok, I think I solved it with the picture, but now I cannot add new components after adding the picture.
    Look at the comment in the actionlistener class:
    import java.awt.*;
    import java.awt.event.*;
    import javax.swing.*;
    import java.io.*;
    public class Test extends JFrame{
         JButton b = new JButton("Open");
         JFileChooser jfc = new JFileChooser(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
         Picture pane;
         Test(){
              super("Main Program");
              setLayout(new BorderLayout());
              JPanel north = new JPanel();
              add(north, BorderLayout.NORTH);
              north.add(b);
              b.addActionListener(new Listener());
              setVisible(true);
              setSize(500,500);
              pane = new Picture("");
              add(pane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
         class Listener implements ActionListener {
              public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
                   int ans = jfc.showOpenDialog(Test.this);
                   if(ans == jfc.APPROVE_OPTION)
                        File file = jfc.getSelectedFile();
                        Test.this.add(new Picture(file.getName()), BorderLayout.CENTER);
                        pane.add(new JButton("NEW BUTTON")); // Why does this button not appear on the window???
                        pane.repaint();
                        pane.revalidate();
         public static void main(String[] args)
              Test t = new Test();
    class Picture extends JPanel
         Image pic;
         String filename;
         Picture(String filename)
              setLayout(null);
              this.filename = filename;
              pic = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getImage(filename);
            protected void paintComponent(Graphics g)
                super.paintComponent(g);
                g.drawImage(pic,0,0,getWidth(),getHeight(),this);
                revalidate();

  • Cannot create iView from PAR file

    I am trying to create an iView from PAR file. But when I select the option,
    "Portal component - create an iView from a portal component contained in a deployed portal archive (PAR) file"
    and click next, I get the following error.
    Error______________________________________
    Step 1:  Portal Archive Selection
    No templates to display. You are not assigned to any existing templates.
    I have portal_configurator and developer roles assignmed to myself. Which other role do I need? I cannot get admin role.
    Note: Other users with admin roles can create iViews.

    Hi
    What is your portal version details ?
    In EP 7.0 you do not have the option -- New From PAR.
    So to create IView from Par, you should select the option New --> IView and then there will be an option to select par file.
    Otherwise
    1.Check if your par file is deployed on server.
    2. Check the portalapp.xml, if you have configured your components properly.

  • How do I use "Trim Paths" after "Create Shapes from Vector Layer" on a strokes only layer?

    Hello,
    Adobe After Effects CC
    2014.0.2
    Version 13.0.2.3
    I have imported an illustrator file that was created in Illustrator CC 18.0.0. The file contains the outline of a logo. It is the logo with the fill set to none and the stroke set to 1px.
    I drag the logo_strokes.ai file onto the composition, right click, and click Create Shapes from Vector Layer.
    A new layer is created and in the Contents "drop down", a Fill 1 layer is created.
    When I select the Contents "drop down" and click Add / Trim Paths, a Trim Paths 1 layer is created.
    When I animate Trim Paths 1, it appears to animate the Fill layer, not the stroke.
    How do I get it to animate just the stroke, and not show a fill at all?
    Thank you.

    Thanks,
    I am reading and watching tutorials. Still stuck on that one point.
    Here are the images of the After Effects layers. The illustrator layer is the top layer.
