Java Swing problems

Hi all,
Why do JPanel, JButton, J*, etc. not function properly on my pc. I have a relatively new Sony laptop and when ever I try using Swing components and scroll my mouse over an area after clicking a Jbutton or using other Swing objects a portion of the screen gets repainted incorrectly. It usually uncovers an underlying panel in a card layout. Any advice would be greatly appreciated, thanks.

Hm ...
I never had problems with that and ofcourse I do never a repaint by myself - if it is programmed correct, the GUI will do that, that is not my business.
Perhaps you mix Swing with AWT-components - they don't mix and cause display troubles. Check, if you always use Swing-Elements - especially AWT-components added to containers with CardLayout or to a JTabbedPane produce strange behavior.
greetings Marsian

Chess: Java Swing problem!! Help need

Hi, I have just learn java swing and now creating a chess game. I have sucessfully create a board and able to display chess pieces on the board. By using JLayeredPane, I am able to use drag and drop for the piece. However, there is a problem which is that I can drop the chess piece off the board and the piece would disappear. I have try to solve this problem by trying to find the location that the chess piece is on, store it somewhere and check if the chess piece have been drop off bound. However, I could not manage to solve it. Also, I am very confuse with all these layer thing.
Any suggestion would be very helpful. Thanks in advance

I wonder if you are biting off a little more than you can chew. This seems like a big project for a beginning coder. Anyway, my suggestions can only be general since we only have general information:
1) Break the big problem down into little pieces. Get the pieces working, then put them together.
2) Make sure your program logic is separate from your GUI.
3) If still having problems, post an SSCCE. See this link to tell you how:
http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html
4) And as camikr would say (and flounder just said): next time, post this in the Swing forum.
Good luck!

1.4.2 Java Swing problems

I have a swing application with 2 JComboBox 's, 1 JPanel (for pictures), 1 JButton and a scroll pane. Basicall the JComboBoxes have an action listener that changes the pictures when I cahnge the names. However, I would like the Jbutton when pressed to display the name chosen (from the JComboBox) and display it in the textArea. See code below.

Problem with java swing button and loop

Problem with java swing button and loop
I�m using VAJ 4.0. and I�m doing normal GUI application. I have next problem.
I have in the same class two jswing buttons named start (ivjGStart) and stop (ivjGStop) and private static int field named Status where initial value is 0. This buttons should work something like this:
When I click on start button it must do next:
Start button must set disenabled and Stop button must set enabled and selected. Field status is set to 1, because this is a condition in next procedure in some loop. And then procedure named IzvajajNeprekinjeno() is invoked.
And when I click on stop button it must do next:
Start button must set enabled and selected and Stop button must set disenabled.
Field status is set to 0.
This works everything fine without loop �do .. while� inside the procedure IzvajajNeprekinjeno(). But when used this loop the start button all the time stay (like) pressed. And this means that a can�t stop my loop.
There is java code, so you can get better picture:
/** start button */
public void gStart_ActionEvents() {
try {
ivjGStart.setEnabled(false);
ivjGStop.setEnabled(true);
ivjGStop.setSelected(true);
getJTextPane1().setText("Program is running ...");
Status = 1;
} catch (Exception e) {}
/** stop button */
public void gStop_ActionEvents() {
try {
ivjGStart.setEnabled(true);
ivjGStart.setSelected(true);
ivjGStop.setEnabled(false);
getJTextPane1().setText("Program is NOT running ...");
Status = 0;
} catch (Exception e) {
/** procedure IzvajajNeprekinjeno() */
public void IzvajajNeprekinjeno() { //RunLoop
try {
int zamik = 2000; //delay
do {
Thread.sleep(zamik);
PreberiDat(); //procedure
} while (Status == 1);
} catch (Exception e) {
So, I'm asking what I have to do, that start button will not all the time stay pressed? Or some other aspect of solving this problem.
Any help will be appreciated.
Best regards,
Tomi

This is a multi thread problem. When you start the gui, it is running in one thread. Lets call that GUI_Thread so we know what we are talking about.
Since java is task-based this will happen if you do like this:
1. Button "Start" is pressed. Thread running: GUI_Thread
2. Event gStart_ActionEvents() called. Thread running: GUI_Thread
3. Method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() called. Thread running: GUI_Thread
4. Sleep in method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() on thread GUI_Thread
5. Call PreberiDat(). Thread running: GUI_Thread
6. Check status. If == 1, go tho 4. Thread running: GUI_Thread.
Since the method IzvajajNeprekinjeno() (what does that mean?) and the GUI is running in the same thread and the event that the Start button has thrown isn't done yet, the program will go on in the IzvajajNeprekinjeno() method forever and never let you press the Stop-button.
What you have to do is do put either the GUI in a thread of its own or start a new thread that will do the task of the IzvajajNeprekinjeno() method.

Problem in printing a java swing form

Hi,
Could anyone help me on how to set the page margings while I print a java swing form since it is taking a lot of space as margins in the top right top and bottom how do i do that. or is it that java can only print in the printable area or is there any way i can increase the scope of the printable area

I used PrintRequestAttributeSet and set the margins to 0.5 on all four sides by creating an instance of MediaPrintableArea. By default, the margins on all sides comes up as 1.0 inch. Default paper size is LETTER (8.5 x 11).
PrintRequestAttributeSet aset = new HashPrintRequestAttributeSet();
aset.add(new MediaPrintableArea(0.5f,0.5f,7.5f,10.0f,MediaPrintableArea.INCH);
PrinterJob printJob = PrinterJob.getPrinterJob();
printJob.setPrintable(component);
if(printJob.printDialog(aset))
printJob.print(aset);
hope it helps.

Facing problem in Java Swing

Hi Sir,
I am using a java GUI Object for taking user name and password (in fields of user name and password) and would like to send the information to a server (in the form of Xml file) on the click of 'Ok' button. The database of registered user is stored on server. If the entered users name or passwords are not correct, the server will send a failure notification to the client (terminal where we typed user name and password). If this is successful, it gives a success notification.
I am doing this using Swings. Also I want all the communication taking place between the server and the client in the form of XML files. being a new to Swings I am facing certain difficulty.
I will appreciate your suggestions and help in this regard.
Thanks and regards,
Sarib

Could you please tell me under which category I should post this query. I could not find JAVA Swing section anywhetre in forum home.Steps
1. Determine what it is that you want the database to do and what you want your code to do. This does NOT involve writing code.
2. Learn JDBC
3. Write JDBC classes that does ONLY the database functionality from 1. If it has GUI (swing) code then it is wrong.
4. Unit test it.
5. Learn Swing
6. Write GUI (swing) code that uses the code from 3.
7. Test it.
There is a forum for JDBC - steps 2,3,4.
There is a forum for Swing - steps 5, 6, 7.

Thanks,its working now. Actually i was trying example from the below link...
http://java.sun.com/products/jfc/tsc/articles/treetable1/
which suggested to download Swing 1.1 Beta 2.
I am using J2sdk 1.4 version.
For compilation i had to change some of imports
for example
//import com.sun.java.swing.tree.*;

PL/SQL and Java Swing interface

Everybody in this forum knows that Oracle is the best database around
with many functionalities, stability, performance, etc. We also know
that PL/SQL is a great language to manipulate information directly
in the database with many built in functions, OOP capability,
transaction control, among other features. Today an application that
manipulates information, which needs user interface, requires components
to be developed using different technologies and normally running in
different servers or machines. For example, the interface is done using
a dynamic HTML generator like JSP, PHP, PL/SQL Web Toolkit, etc.
This page is executed in an application server like Oracle iAS or
Tomcat, just to name two, which in turn access a database like Oracle to
build the HTML. Also rich clients like Java applets require an intermediate
server to access the database (through servlets for example) although
it is possible to access the database directly but with security issues.
Another problem with this is that complexity increases a lot, many
technologies, skills and places to maintain code which leads to a greater
failure probability. Also, an application is constantly evolving, new
calculations are added, new tables, changed columns. If you have an
application with product code for example and you need to increase its
size, you need to change it in the database, search for all occurrences
of it in the middle-tier code and perhaps adjust interfaces. Normally
there is no direct dependency among the tier components. On another
issue, many application interfaces today are based on HTML which doesn't
have interactive capabilities like rich-client interfaces. Although it
is possible to simulate many GUI widgets with JavaScript and DHTML, it is
far from the interactive level we can accomplish in rich clients like
Java Swing, Flash MX, Win32, etc. HTML is also a "tag-based" language
originally created to publish documents so even small pages require
many bytes to be transmitted, far beyond of what we see on the screen.
Even in fast networks you have a delay time to wait the page to be
loaded. Another issue, the database is in general the central location
for all kinds of data. Most applications relies on it for security,
transaction and availability. My proposal is to use Oracle as the
central location for interface, processing and data. With this approach
we can create not only the data manipulation procedures in the database,
but procedures that also control and manage user interfaces. Having
a Oracle database as the central location for all components has many
advantages:
- Unique point of maintenance, backup and restore
- Integrated database security
- One language for everything, PL/SQL or Java (even both if desired)
- Inherited database cache, transaction and processing optimizations
- Direct access to the database dictionary
- Application runs on Oracle which has support for many platforms.
- Transparent use of parallel processing, clusters and future
background technologies
Regarding the interface, I already created a Java applet renderer
which receives instructions from the database on how to create GUI
objects and how to respond to events. The applet is only 8kb and can
render any Swing or AWT object/event. The communication is done
through HTTP or HTTPS using Oracles's MOD_PLSQL included in the Apache
HTTP server which comes with the database or application server (iAS).
I am also creating a database framework and APIs in PL/SQL to
create and manipulate the client interface. The applet startup is
very fast because it is very small, you don't need to download large
classes with the client interface. Execution is done "on-demand"
according to instructions received from the database. The instructions
are very optimized in terms of network bandwidth and based on preliminary
tests it can be up to 1/10 of a similar HTML screen. Less network usage
means faster response and means that even low speed connections will
have a good performance (a future development can be to use this in
wireless devices like PDAs e even cell phones, just an idea for now).
The applet can also be executed standalone by using Java Web Start.
With this approach no business code, except the interface, is executed
on the client. This means that alterations in the application are
dynamically reflected in the client, no need to "re-download" the
application. Events are transmitted when required only so network
usage is minimized. It is also possible to establish triggering
events to further reduce network usage. Since the protocol used is
HTTP (which is stateless), the database framework I am creating will
be responsible to maintain the state of connections, variables, locks
and session information, so the developer don't need to worry about it.
The framework will have many layers, from communication up to
application so there will be pre-built functions to handle queries,
pagination, lock, mail, log, etc. The final objective is to have a
rich client application integrated into the database with minimum
programming and maintenance requirements, not forgetting customization
capabilities. Below is a very small example of what can de done. A
desktop with two windows, each window with two fields, a button with an
image to switch the values, and events to convert the typed text when
leaving the field or double-clicking it. The "leave" event also has an
optimization to only be triggered when the text changes. I am still
developing the framework and adjusting the renderer but I think that all
technical barriers were transposed by now. The framework is still in
the early stages, my guess is that only 5% is done so far. As a future
development even an IDE can be created so we have a graphical environment
do develop applications. I am willing to share this with the PL/SQL
community and listen to ideas and comments.
Example:
create or replace procedure demo1 (
jre_version in varchar2 := '1.4.2_01',
debug_info in varchar2 := 'false',
compress_buffer in varchar2 := 'false',
optimize_buffer in varchar2 := 'true'

Is it sound like Oracle Portal?
But you want to save a layer 9iAS.
Basically, that was the WebDB.(Oracle changed the name to Portal when version 3.0)
Over all, I agree with you.
>>Having a Oracle database as the central location for all components has many
>>advantages:
>>
>>- Unique point of maintenance, backup and restore
>>- Integrated database security
>>- One language for everything, PL/SQL or Java (even both if desired)
>>- Inherited database cache, transaction and processing optimizations
>>- Direct access to the database dictionary
>>- Application runs on Oracle which has support for many platforms.
>>- Transparent use of parallel processing, clusters and future
>>background technologies
I would like to build 'ZOPE' inside Oracle DB as a back-end
Using Flash MX as front-end.

Issue with launching Java Program - Java Library Problem?

I hope this is the right forum, I apologize if it isn't. I am having issues launching a program for a video game that uses java. One of the devs told me to post my issue here, as he doesn't know how much more help he can give with this issue. Using the java -jar command, this is the printout I get:

PS.
I had to add the Java path to my System -> Environmental Variables -> Path variable, as it was not there from the start, and before adding it command prompt wouldn't recognize java commands. Don't know whether this indicates anything.

[Bug ID 4711700|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4711700] is eerily similar to what you're experiencing. Although the bug was reported against an older version of the JDK the last comment provides a workaround to the problem that may be helpful. Good luck.

Java Swing/AWT and FX is so old school! Give me HTML and CSS for GUI!

Dear Java,
I am a seasoned programmer and I feel it's time JAVA implements a GUI system where it uses HTML and CSS for the GUI. For the love of god just look at the interfaces you can make using HTML and CSS alone. I am a big fan of Java Swing and the recent GUI designer for FX is quite cool. But they are just not as simple as HTML and CSS. And JavaFX has some interesting requirements for the graphics.
I know it is possible to use JavaFX and implement the WebView/WebDriver and make it load a HTML page, etc... but why go through all the trouble?
Just imagine... if you make Java where it has powerful back-end to do what it does best and the HTML/CSS powered GUI on the front-end. It will make the lives of many developers much much easier.
I am not sure whether a Swing designed GUI will be faster than a HTML designed GUI... but if you look at a traditional browser and how fast it renders HTML/CSS, I am sure if Java had a native Form where it uses HTML and CSS to render the GUI, Java will make the dreams of many programmers a reality.
Make it happen!!!!

Unicode characters with accents won't display in Java Swing applications

I'm using FreeMind (a Java Swing application) and I need to enter classical Greek characters with accent marks. When I type an accented Greek character, FreeMind displays the unaccented character. However, I can type the accented character in MS Word, then copy and paste into FreeMind, the accented character appears.
One of the FreeMind developers indicated this was a Java Swing issue, not FreeMind, and suggested I test with another Swing application. So, I installed jEdit and got exactly the same results. I can paste an accented character into jEdit, but I cannot type it in directly.
I'm using Windows Vista with Java 6 Update 22 (build 1.6.0_22-b04). I also tested on a XP Pro box with Java 1.6.0_18-b07 and got the same result.
One other note: A couple days ago, I was able to type accented Greek characters into FreeMind. But it only worked for a couple days and then the behavior reverted to unaccented characters. It is possible, but I don't recall specifically, that I updated Java during the time and that may indicate a bug in one version of Java but not another.
Any assistance or guidance would be greatly appreciated!
Darin

Walter,
The link you provided does not appear to describe the Greek Polytonic keyboard. (The page also describes using the "Option" key as the dead key. There is no "Option" key on my keyboard. I'm using a Sony VGN-NS140E purchased in Chicago, i.e. standard physical US keyboard.)
Please see http://darindavis.net/languages/keyboard_Greek.pdf for a detailed description of how to use the Greek (Polytonic) keyboard in Windows to produce a complete set of accented classical Greek characters. This method works in MS Word and Notepad. I enabled the Greek (Polytonic) keyboard with:
Windows (Vista) Start > Control Panel > Regional and Language Options > Change Keyboards > General > Add > Greek (Greece) > Greek Polytonic
A test that will demonstrate whether you can replicate the error is to do the following in both MS Word (or Notepad) and jEdit (or FreeMind):
1. Enable the Greek Polytonic keyboard
2. Type "\" then "e" which should produce an epsilon with smooth breathing and grave accent (ἒ)
When I do this in MS Word or Notepad, I see the epsilon with smooth breathing and grave accent. When I do this in jEdit and FreeMind, I only see an epsilon.
I recorded a screencast to illustrate the problem: http://www.screencast.com/t/TRKkKQrCgbN
Actually, this problem is transient. Sometimes FreeMind or jEdit will display accented characters, other times it won't. Ironically, the first time I recorded the above referenced screencast, a few characters in jEdit did appear with accents. A couple minutes later, I re-recorded the screencast and as you can see jEdit did not display the accents. Between the two recordings I literally did nothing other than stop the Jing recording and start a new one. There is another variable at play here and I can't determine what it is. The most likely source seems to be Java since MS Word and Notepad consistently display accent characters.
Thanks,
Darin

Help with java swing

Hi people!i need some help
Im a new user for java programming language.Well im programming an application using java swing libraries. I have some problems trying to accesing variables from those swing Jpanels. Ill make it clear....
Im using Netbeans...
I have a class for the window (a JFrame) including 2 Jtextfields and 2 Jlabels
import .......
public class myclass extends javax.swing.JFrame{
public double gp;
public double gv;
public G() {
initComponents();
gpnom=this.gpnom;
gvnom=this.gvnom;
private void TXFgpnom(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) { //TXField
gpnom= Double.parseDouble(TXFgpnom.getText());
gvnom= Double.parseDouble(TXFgvnom.getText());
.......//theres a lot of more code .for listeners..next...
Now ive created a new file (a new class)in the same package ,but i cant access public variables from swing class
//the next class was created in a new file
public class hi () {
JPanel prin =(JPanel) new myclass().getContentPane(); //ok
double number=gpnom // error variable not found
When i try to get the value of "number" ...i always get "ERROR" And the class for that textfield was public..i think...
HOw can i use variables from that Jpanel?
Id appreciate an answer...
thanx for your help!
Paco

In future Swing related questions should be posted in the Swing forum and camickr will be more likely to answer if you have used code tags to properly format your code.
Luckily this problem does not seem to be Swing related in the least because the public variables you have in your other class are named gp and gv and further when you access public variables (or properties) of a class you must access them by an instance of that class. Which you don't appear to be doing either.
