    i need to use the applet mousedown function in swing..>There is no such class as 'applet' in the JRE, Swing has an upper case 1st letter, functions in Java are generally referred to as methods, and there is no 'mousedown' method in the JRE.
    OTOH a Swing JApplet inherits the mouseDown method from Component, and it was deprecated in Java 1.1. The documentation (JavaDocs) provides instructions on what to use instead.

    is there any way to use it or any other alternative is available for this?
    if can provide me a sample code.>If can provide me cash. Short of that, you might actually need to do some research/coding of your own.
    As an aside. What does any of this have to do with Java 2D?

    it gives error message... how can � use struct model in java applets???
    if you help me i will be greatfull....

    � use import but it doesn't work.
    i add: import renk; or import class renk;
    how will � add import I assumed based on your initial post that the renk and benek classes were in the same file. Apparently you're saying they are not. So for another thing, make your renk class "public class renk", and add the "public" keyword to the 3 members of that class. Then if your code still doesn't see the "renk" class, it would just be that you don't have the directory that contains the compiled "renk.class" in your classpath.

  • How to print a JTable  in Java Swing ?

    Hi,
    I have an application written in java swing.Now I want to write a print module that prints some details.The details includes the JTextArea and JTable that changes in size dynamically.One solution i found is to put them in a panel and print that panel.But it is static.The size of JTable and JTextArea changes, according to the given input.Please give me a solution for this.

    Printing is a bit of a nightmare, actually. Most of the trouble is layout. Basically a Printable is passed a page number and a graphics context and has to work out what components go on that page and where. It can't depend on the pages being requested in sequence.
    You can call getPrintable from a JTable, and you can call that through your own Printable in order to add extra pages. However you can't ask a Printable how many pages it's going to produce, you just have to invoke it and see if it returns a code to say that the page is out of range.
    And the Printable JTable generates is very limited, the table has to occupy full pages, you can't tell it to start in a different place on the first page, or find out how much space it's used on the last page. The headers and footers generate JTable's own idea of a page number, not yours.
    You can call print() on most Swing components, but you'll need to set their size and location first, and/or mess with the transformation in the graphics context.

    This is what you got to do to insert a larger value.

    String longMessage = "Blah blah ... ";

    int messageLength = longMessage.length();
    if (messageLength > 254)
         try
              firstPart = longMessage.subString(0, 253);
              secondPart = longMessage.subString(254, message);
         catch (IndexOutOfBoundsException e)
    //In the first insert  set the first 254 characters
    ps.setString(1, firstPart);
    int result = ps.executeUpdate();
    if (result != 0)
           System.out.println("Insert  sucessful  ");
           if (messageLength > 254)
                //now update with the second part.
                static String UPDATE_SECOND_PART = UPDATE my.table SET LONG_COL = LONG_COL || ? WHERE KEY_COL = ?;
                ps2 = connection.getPreparedStatement(UPDATE_SECOND_PART);
                ps2.setString(1, secondPart);
                ps2.setString(2, businessId);  //assuming that businessId is the primary key.
                int result2 = ps2.executeUpdate();
                if (result2 != 0)

  • Using console program from java swing

    Can anyone please tell me if the following is possible and how to do it. I want to create a gui for mencoder and so for example i will be wanting toexecute mencoder from the swing app to find out the the auto crop values so i can visually display them. As well when i am actually encoding the files i want to somehow use the progress output from the program and visually display it in swing using a progress bar. I am just quiter sure where to start or even what doing this is called. I know it is possible just now how.
    Cheers
    Damian

    You can use Runtime.exec or ProcessBuilder to run external programs.
    If you do that, I'd suggest trying to use arguments to mencoder that change its console output to be easier to parse. I don't know if such an option exists, but many programs built for the command line provide such options, and mencoder certainly provides a lot of options. Block off a few weeks and you might make your way through a third of the manual.
    Also the mplayer/mencoder suite may provide a C library. I don't recall. If it does, you might be able to use JNI.

  • How to Use Exec function in Java Code

    How to Use Exec method
    I want to Execute command
    net Start "some service"
    using exec method of runtime class
    or i use some other way if suggest

    Assuming you have read http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/lang/Runtime.html#exec(java.lang.String) already, I can only suggest to be more specific in what your problems are. If you are after just some example code, then download ftp://ftp.ebi.ac.uk/pub/software/textmining/monq/monq.tar.gz and have a look at the source code of monq.stuff.Exec. It does all those things which are necessary to keep track of a Process after it was created with exec.
