How to add JFrame within JFrame

Hi,
I want to add jFrame within JFrame just like JInternalFrame, But I don't want to use JInternalFrame.

Im not really sure why you would want to do this, but what you could do is add the JFrame's contentPane to a JPanel, and then put it in the other one.
So lets say you have two JFrame objects: frame1 and frame2
JPanel frame2Content = new JPanel();
frame2Content.add(frame2.getContentPane());
frame1.getContentPane().add(frame2Content);Depending on your layout manager, that would allow you to put frame2's components, as a panel, somewhere in frame1.

How to add tooltip to jframe title?

hi all
does anyone knows how can i set tooltip for jframe title?
thanks

Since it's a slow Saturday and I'm in a good mood...import darrylbu.util.SwingUtils;
import javax.swing.*;
public class FrameTitleToolTip {
   public static void main(String[] args) {
      JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
      SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
         @Override
         public void run() {
            new FrameTitleToolTip().makeUI();
   public void makeUI() {
      JFrame frame = new JFrame();
      frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
      frame.setSize(400, 400);
      for (JComponent component : SwingUtils.getDescendantsOfType(JComponent.class,
            frame)) {
         if (component.getClass().getName().contains("MetalTitlePane")) {
            component.setToolTipText("Tooltip for frame title bar");
            break;
      frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
      frame.setVisible(true);
}You can get the SwingUtils class [_here_|http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2008/11/13/swing-utils/]

In ur program
Betweens = station.getChildren("between");here the "Between" is a List having "between" elements.
if u want to traverse through all the <between> elements which are inside the<noservice>,.
check with this,
Betweens = station.getChildren("between");
between = (Element)Betweens.get(0);
bNames =between.getChildren("station");
blineNames =between.getChildren("line");instead of this..
java.util.List Between = station.getChildren("between");
ListIterator iter = Between.listIterator();
while(iter.hasNext())
Element between = (Element) i.next();
bNames =between.getChildren("station");
blineNames =between.getChildren("line");
If the XMl document is something like this..
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<?xml-stylesheet type="text/css" href="style.css"?>
<DisruptionsInfo>
<Title>Disruptions on the London Underground</Title>
<noService>

<description>The following station(s) are closed due

</closed>
<description>The following line(s) are closed due to
flooding</description>
<DelaysLine>
<line>Jubilee line</line>
</DelaysLine>
</DisruptionsInfo>the above code will travel thro all the <between> children of the <noservice> element.
i think this would help u.

How to add an Array within an array?

Hi friends can any body guides me how to add array within array.
Actually i am getting Array from server side and i have to append one more node(Array) in same array and send it back to them.
here is the structure of my array that i am getting from server side.
temp = Array (@4445e09)
    [0] = mx.utils.ObjectProxy (@4314821)
        Mylanguages = Array (@4445b69)
            [0] = Object (@449ac91)
                Mylanguage = "English"
                Mylanguage_code = "EN"
                Mylanguage_id = "1"
                selected = "Y"
            length = 1
        currentpage = "1"
        definition_id = "20"
        delete_record = "Y"
        edit_record = "Y"
        insert_record = "Y"
        numberofpages = "1"
        numberofrecords = "1"
        object = Object (@4432449)
        productgroups = Array (@43cea51)
        type = null
        uid = "111111"
    length = 1
I have to add an array similar to like Mylanguages containing object which contain some info like some ids. and my array becomes
ttemp = Array (@4445e09)
    [0] = mx.utils.ObjectProxy (@4314821)
        Mylanguages = Array (@4445b69)
            [0] = Object (@449ac91)

        productgroups = Array (@43cea51)
       AddedNOde= Array (@4445b69)
            [0] = Object (@449ac91)
                id= "10"
                tempId= "100"
                Mylanguage_id = "1"
            length = 1
        type = null
        uid = "111111"
    length = 1
please tell me how it possible.
Thanks in Advance
Regards
Vineet osho

Hi Vineet,
You can simply add another Array as shown below:
for each(var obj:Object in temp)
     obj.AddedNOde = YourNewArray;
By doing above NewArray is added to all the objects of temp Array.
Thanks,

How I can get a JFrame to open in the middle of the screen?

Okay, I have been looking for an answer on how I can make a JFrame open in the center of the screen like the JOptionpane's "null" argument does. Maybe, I am putting the wrong words in the search but I can't find any help on this.
Thanks
***Sample***
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
public class JFrameProb extends JFrame
     private JLabel someText;
     private JLabel someText2;
     private JLabel someText3;
     public JFrameProb()
          super("Why is this always going to the Corner?");
          setLayout( new FlowLayout() );
          someText = new JLabel("This Window Popped open in the top-left Corner...");
          add(someText);
          someText2 = new JLabel("Is there a way to open in the Center of the Screen?");
          add(someText2);
          someText3 = new JLabel("I know JOptionPane does.");
          add(someText3);
}

JosAH,
I tried using your code but it errored out:
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\PimpThatHo\PimpNameGetter.java:78: cannot find symbol
symbol : variable Centralizer
location: class PimpNameGetter.TextFieldHandler
Centralizer.centralize(comboBox);
^
1 error
Process completed.
So I made a java file for the Cebtralizer Class but it gave me this:
--------------------Configuration: <Default>--------------------
C:\Program Files\Java\jdk1.5.0\PimpThatHo\Centralizer.java:3: cannot find symbol
symbol : class Component

location: class Centralizer
Dimension compSize= c.getPreferredSize();

I know I am missing packages but I don't know which ones.

How can I change the Jframe Java help Icon

How can I change then Jframe Java help Icon?.
I am using then HelpSet class and HelpBroker.
I want to change the java help icon
Any Idea? thanks. ...

It can be done, but it's ugly...
Add in a listener to your topmost JFrame to sense when the focus is lost, since this happens when a help window comes up. When the focus leaves the main window, check all the windows that are up to see if one is a help window. If so, this will give you a reference to the help window and you can drill down to change what you want.
Here's an example that changes the icon and removes the borders from the javahelp buttons.
WindowListener wndCloser = new WindowAdapter() {
          //A necessarily roundabout method to affect
          //look and feel aspects of the javahelp viewer.
          //(there is no way to get at these components directly.)
          //When the main frame loses focus, it may be because
          //the help viewer was brought up. Look through all
          //the current frames to see if one is a help viewer.
          //If it is, change the look of the help viewer
          //to what we want.
          Frame m_helpFrame = null;
          public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e) {
          if (m_helpFrame != null)
               return;
          Frame[] frames = getFrames();
          for (int k = 0; k < frames.length; k++) {
               if (!(frames[k] instanceof JFrame))
               continue;
               JFrame jf = (JFrame)frames[k];
               if (jf.getContentPane().getComponentCount()==0)
               continue;
               Component c = jf.getContentPane().
               getComponent(0);
               if (c == null || !(c instanceof JHelp))
               continue;
               m_helpFrame = jf;
               //now that we know the Frame, we can change the title icon
               final Image image2 = <your icon here>
               m_helpFrame.setIconImage(image2);
               JHelp jh = (JHelp)c;
               for (int s=0; s<jh.getComponentCount(); s++) {
               c = jh.getComponent(s);
               if (c == null || !(c instanceof JToolBar))
                    continue;
               JToolBar jtb = (JToolBar)c;
               //now that we've accessed the toolbar, we can
               //modify the look of the buttons.
               for(int i=0; i<jtb.getComponentCount(); i++) {
                    Component comp = jtb.getComponentAtIndex(i);
                    if(comp instanceof JButton) {
                    JButton button = (JButton)comp;
                    button.setBorder(null);

How can i combine several JFrame into one

I has several JFrames running with different tasks eg. using
various eventlistener and runnable. but when i try to combine all
these JFrames into one, compiling is ok but running always has
missing information. pls kindly advise the easiest method to use in
combining.
In addition, how can i display the JFrame in other
location instead of top left corner (starting point)?

yup, i used these layout FlowLayout, GridLayout and BorderLayout for
each of my JFrame and JPanel.

How can i hide a JFrame and then Show it again in runtime

How can i hide a JFrame and then Show it again in runtime??
Please, please help me
Its URGENT

Here's even an example:
import javax.swing.*;
public class HideAndShow extends JFrame
     public HideAndShow()
          super("Hello");
          setSize(200, 200);
          setVisible(true);
          try
               Thread.sleep(2000);
          } catch(InterruptedException e) {}
          setVisible(false);
          try
               Thread.sleep(2000);
          } catch(InterruptedException e) {}
          setVisible(true);
     public static void main(String[] args)
          new HideAndShow();
The JFrame will show, then hide, then show again. This is at runtime.

How to add a scroll bar within a view window ?I want to display x and y axis outside the scoll window and keep those axis static and move the graph within scroll area

how to add a scroll bar within a view window ?I want to display x and y axis outside the scoll window and keep those axis static and move the graph within scroll area
ananya

Hey Ananya,
I believe what you want to do is possible, but it will not be
easy. If you want to add a scroll bar that will scroll the graph
back and forth but keep the axis set, you would want to add a
horizontal or vertical scrollbar. Then you would create an event
handler for the scroll event. You would have to manually plot
different data within this scroll event. Unfortunately, there is
not really a built in way to do this with the Measurement Studio plot
control.

How to add friendly URLs to pages within the ALUI portal?

I want to know how to add friendly URLs (human-readable URLs that users can bookmark or type into the browser address bar) to pages within the ALUI portal.
The portal application is developed using plumtree portlets.

In 6.5
Community links look like this:
http://your_Server/portal/server.pt/community/lockdown_console/
Documents look like this:
http://your_Server/portal/server.pt/document/50541/your_document_name.doc
If your goal is for users to "type into the browser address bar" then your best bet would be dns mapping.
At that point you could have communities with urls like:
http://your_Community.your_Server.com
or
http://your_Server/your_Community

How can I resize a JFrame ,to fit into the screen size

I have a Jframe which has JPanel and JPanel contains lot of other components.JPanel size is 980,1400. when i use JFrame.show method jpanel goes beyond the screen size in length and I am not able to see the portion below the screen.How can I resize the JFrame so that JFrame and JPanel shrinks to fit into the screen size.I need this because I have a PRINT button at bottom of the JPanel.Thanks.

Thank you for your reply.I tried with the following code as you have told.But the frame is still going beyond the screen.Can you please look into it and tell me whats wrong ?
//public class PlayerRegForm extends javax.swing.JFrame implements Printable
public static void main(String args[]) {
PlayerRegForm prf = new PlayerRegForm();
Dimension screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize();
Dimension frameSize = prf.getSize();
if (frameSize.height > screenSize.height)
frameSize.height = screenSize.height;
if (frameSize.width > screenSize.width)
frameSize.width = screenSize.width;
System.out.println("Screen Size ----------------- " + screenSize);
System.out.println(" Frame Size ----------------- " + frameSize);
prf.setSize(frameSize.width, frameSize.height);
prf.pack();
prf.show();
=============================================================================
Screen Size ----------------- java.awt.Dimension[width=1024,height=768]
Frame Size ----------------- java.awt.Dimension[width=112,height=28]

How to get keyevents in Jframe

Hi,
If i make usual keylistener class for keyevents and
add it to jframe itself, the frame doesen't get any
of keyevents. Alltough all buttons and such components
which has same listener added gets events (when focused).
The frame itself is allso focused when trying this.
I tried allso add keylistener to container and all panels
in that frame, but it had no better effect.
There must be a way that frame can as get keyevents as default.
I will be very pleased of any help.

Are you sure you added a KeyListener to the right component? If you want your frame or panel to receive KeyEvents no matter what child component has the focus (ie. generated the event) then you will need to add a keylistener to every component in the frame (you can use a loop)and just use your frame as the sole KeyListener.
I am pretty sure that will work but I'm not sure exactly what you have already tried. If that doesn't work then it could be related to the component consuming events. They do consume some events but I thought they would call all of their listeners first.
