JLabel size and JTextFields

Hello together.
I would like to have a small JLabel where I just have the name and then a big TextField.
My problem is as I have it in a GridLayout all are the same size.
How can I make that I can choice the size.
Thanks in advance

Your question isn't very clear. If you just have two components then use a FlowLayout. Read the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html]How to Use Layout Managers for more information.

JTabbedPane and JTextField

Using JDK 1.4.
I have created an Applet with using a JTabbedPlane with 2 tab components both are JPanels. The first-tab JPanel has a number of JTextComponents on it, the second-tab JPanel ans several JLabels, JButtons, and JTextFields.
When the Applet starts only the components on first-tab are shown - as expected.
I have created a separate class that extends JPanel (add-on-panel) that includes a number of JLabels and JTextFields that are laid out on it. If I add add-on-panel to the second-tab JPanel, add-on-panel's JTextFields show through the first-tab JPanel. Once the second-tab is selected and then the first-tab is selected, add-on-panel's JTextFields no longer show through.
I have explicity setOpaque(true) on first-tab and its components.
Is this a bug or have I messed setting up something correctly???
I have also added a third-tab JPanel that has a JTextEditor and it does not show through.
Thanks in advance

Help with JLabels and JTextFields

I'm experimenting with JLabels and JTextFields in a basic JFrame. What I am trying to accomplish (without success) is to align a JLabel above and centered on a JTextField. The tutorials are confusing me. Any help would be greatly appreciated. a Sample of code is ...
JLabel myTextLabel = new JLabel("Who's text Field?");
JTextField myTextField = new JTextField("My Text Field");...after reading the tutorial I thought that I needed to assign L&F variables to the JLabel ... i.e.
JLabel myTextLabel = new JLabel("Who's text field?:", JLabel.CENTER, JLabel.TOP); but this results in an error when compiling. (cannot find symbol), so I thought I need to assign the JLabel to the JTextField. i.e.
myTextLabel.setLabelFor(myTextField);Then I get "identifier" expected. So now being completely confused I am here asking "How do I?" :)
Thanks in advance!

Most likely, you need to think a little more about using a layout manager to hlp you along the way. If memory serves, the default layout manager for a JPanel is FlowLayout and that will simply place the components you add to the panel one after another and allow each to adopt it's preferred size.
One way to ensure that the two compoenets were sized equally, would be to use the GridLayout layout manager and create either one row with two columns, or two rows with one column on each. Then add the compoennets to each of the 'cells' so to speak and that should ensure that they are both the same size.
As to making the text centered in each, both the JLabel and JtextField classes have amethod called setHorizontalAlignment(); it can be used to aligh the text as you require.
Simply create an instance of the class;
JLabel aLabel = new JLabel("Some Text");
// Then set the alignment
aLabel.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);Or, do the whole operation i one step
JLabel aLabel = new JLabel("Sone Text", SwingConstants.CENTER);and then add the componenet to the panel once you have set the layout manager.
Remember that the label.textfield will have to be wide enought to make it obvious that the text is centered!

Layout of JLabels and JTextFields

Hi!
I am looking for an easy way to layout JLabels and JTextFields side by side like this:
jlabel             jtextField
small jlabel       jtextField
longer jlabel      jtextFieldAny ideas on how to do this?
Peter

Read this section from the Swing tutorial on "Using Layout Managers":
http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/using.html
The easiest way is to use a GridLayout.
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLayout( new GridLayout(0, 2) );
panel.add( new JLabel("...") );
panel.add( new JTextField(10) );
panel.add( new JLabel("...") );
panel.add( new JTextField(10) );
A more complicated, but more flexible way is to use a GridBagLayout. Something like this:
public class ActivityPanel extends JPanel
     public ActivityPanel()
          setBorder( new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5) );
          setLayout( new GridBagLayout() );
          GridBagConstraints gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
          gbc.insets = new Insets(5, 10, 5, 10);
          // add street
          JLabel lStreet = new JLabel("Street");
          JTextField cStreet = new JTextField(32);
          addRow(gbc, lStreet, cStreet);
          // add city
          JLabel lCity = new JLabel("City");
          JTextField cCity = new JTextField(32);
          addRow(gbc, lCity, cCity);
     private void addRow(GridBagConstraints gbc, Component left, Component right)
          gbc.gridx = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE;
          gbc.gridy = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE;
          gbc.gridheight = 1;
          gbc.gridwidth = 1;
          gbc.anchor = GridBagConstraints.EAST;
          add(left, gbc);
          gbc.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
          gbc.anchor = GridBagConstraints.WEST;
          add(right, gbc);
}

Align JLabels and JTextFields vertically in different areas

Each area has its own components - JLabels, JTextField, etc.

Set specific size for JTextfield/Jbutton in BorderLayout?

can some one tell me how to set a specific size for JTextfield/JButton in Border/BoxLayout please?
I stried setSize, setPrefersize, setMAxsize, setMinsize, setBounds... but it won't work?
For example. If I add a jbutton to a jpanel, which has borderlayout, it will take up ALL the space in that jpanel.
Thanks

Typically you use a BorderLayout for the high level layout and then add panels using other layouts to the BorderLayout. So for example on a simple dialog that is using a form that asks your for your first name and last name you would build a panel with those fields and add that panel to the center of the BorderLayout. Then you would create another panel for the "Ok" and "Cancel" buttons which would typically use a FlowLayout. Then you add that panel to the South of the BorderLayout.
The Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/layout/visual.html]How to Use LayoutManagers has all the information you need to know on using layout managers.

Sizing issues JButton and JTextField

Hi,
I am new to swing and could use a little guidance on the placement of JButtons and JTextFields on a component. I have tried the setSize method and it doesn't work so I think it has to do with the layout possibly. I need to know how I can resize the testMe button and enlarge the JTextFields. Here is my code.
I would appreciate any other suggestions as well.
Thanks,

Nope, doesn't work. Does the fact that the JButton is part of GridLayout have any affect on this resizing issue?
Thanks for your help, I appreciate it.

Object Size and Position values not being retained

Hi,
I'm trying to set the size and position of a picture object in a report. This logo, should appear on the top right corner of the report.
The margins of the report are Left - .79 in, Right - 0.79 in, Top - 0.79 in and Bottom - 0.39 in.
The size of the picture object should be 1.574 x 0.79 inches.
I have ensured that File -> Page Setup -> dimensions are in INCHES.
I right click the logo and select 'Size and Position'.
I set 'Y' (distance between top of object and top margin) = 0. This is to perfectly align the object with the top margin.
Now, i set the height of the object = 0.79 inches. Ok the dialog and close.
The strange thing happening is, when i re-open the size and position dialog, i see that the values i set are not being retained.
0.79 becomes 0.810
and
0 become -0.010.
What am i doing wrong here? How can i make sure the values i specify in the size and position dialog are retained.
Thanks.

What is occurring (I suspect) is that your objects are snapping to the grid - thus changing the position and possibly size due to the Snap to Grid being turned on.

Problem with PropertyChangeListener and JTextField

I'm having a problem with PropertyChangeListener and JTextField.
I can not seem to get the propertychange event to fire.
Anyone have any idea why the code below doesn't work?
* NewJFrame.java
* Created on May 15, 2005, 4:21 PM
import java.beans.*;
import javax.swing.*;
* @author wolfgray
public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame
implements PropertyChangeListener {
/** Creates new form NewJFrame */
public NewJFrame() {
initComponents();
jTextField1.addPropertyChangeListener( this );
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent e) {
System.out.println(e);
/** This method is called from within the constructor to
* initialize the form.
* WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is
* always regenerated by the Form Editor.
private void initComponents() {
jTextField1 = new javax.swing.JTextField();
jScrollPane1 = new javax.swing.JScrollPane();
jFormattedTextField1 = new javax.swing.JFormattedTextField();
setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
jTextField1.setText("jTextField1");
getContentPane().add(jTextField1, java.awt.BorderLayout.NORTH);
jFormattedTextField1.setText("jFormattedTextField1");
jScrollPane1.setViewportView(jFormattedTextField1);
getContentPane().add(jScrollPane1, java.awt.BorderLayout.CENTER);
pack();
* @param args the command line arguments
public static void main(String args[]) {
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
new NewJFrame().setVisible(true);
// Variables declaration - do not modify
private javax.swing.JFormattedTextField jFormattedTextField1;
private javax.swing.JScrollPane jScrollPane1;
private javax.swing.JTextField jTextField1;
// End of variables declaration
}

If you want to listen to changes in the textfield's contents you should use a DocumentListener and not a PropertyChangeListener:

Report page scaling/zoom for paper size and field width?

Are there ways to design a report, or programmatically set a report to dynamically resize based on factors such as paper size (A4 vs. Letter vs. Legal), orientation (portrait vs. landscape), and field width (e.g fields grow and shrink based on data)? We are looking at ways to dynamically choose paper size and scale. This would be similar to how Excel files can adjust for printing depending on paper, and PDF files can zoom in/out for paper size.
Thanks,
Kyle

We don't want to add fields dynamically at runtime. Instead we want to automatically resize fields at runtime to properly fit data on the page. Currently with our 400 reports, data fields have gotten longer over the years so important data is being truncated. We'd like it if fields could properly grow/shrink/scale so that the data is always valid. We'd like it if the user flips from portrait to landscape, the field widths automatically grow to use the entire page. Or, if a user goes from Letter to A4, pagination still works properly and the fields get slightly wider to fit the A4 standard.
What we don't want is to have a version of the report for portrait Letter, portrait A4, portrait Legal, landscape Letter, landscape A4, landscape Legal, etc. It would be a support nightmare.
I don't know if it is possible, but I'm hoping it is. Thanks for the help.

Can you change the units used for size and position in layout editor?

Hello,
In Aperture 3.4, does anyone know if you can change the units used for size and position in layout editor? The page is set in inches, but the image size and position are given in centimetres and I would prefer to work all in inches to create custom layouts. I can't see any way to change this. If anyone knows how it would be much appreciated. Thanks!

Aperture uses the unit settings defined in the System Preferences. Set the "Measurement Units" in the "Region" tab of the "Language & Text" preferences to "US"; the Aperture will display the Size & Position in inches, if it is the "Book" layout manager you are asking about.
Merry Christmas!

I believe Frank is referring to the end use (e.g., for print or on-screen use).
Until he returns, I can tell you that I ran a quick test using an image from the Aperture 3 training book library which was as follows:
Camera = Canon EOS 5D Mark II
Master resolution = 5616 x 3744 (21 MP)
I was able to export to a JPEG with end file size of 1 MB as follows:
Export Presets drop-down > select 'Edit' option
Selected preset name 'JPEG - 50% of Original Size' > change percentage value to 40% > change DPI value to '300' > click OK to set as current default > Export version to desktop.
The exported JPEG has a resolution of 2246 x 1498 and appears on screen to have the same image quality of the original in Aperture.
Note - I did not change the default Image Quality slider in the Export Preset dialog (which left it at 10).
Basically, you will need to play around with the settings until you find the appropriate values to arrive at an image version you want.

How to extract the size and date from a given file

Hi,
I want to extract the size and date of a file (it can be either a video, audio or text file) that the user points to the location of. But I am not sure how. Does Java have an api that can do this? If not is there some other way of doing this? Can anyone help? Thanks in advance.

Have a look at java.io.File, specifically
public long lastModified()
This format returned (I find) is nasty, so then use java.util.Date (or java.sql.Date, look the same on the surface to me) to format it.
Cheers,

Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

Is there a way to increase the icon size (and the text below) without using zoom in iOS 7? I am trying to help out someone who has moderate visual impairment that does not want to use zoom just to see the icons and their labels.

Hello Apple.
It seems you have gone to great lengths to improve accessibility in many areas of the iPad. Why was this obvious problem with icon text size missed? (It's not with the Mac.). And for so long too.
Do you employ people with actual accessibility problems to help you do UI design?
I think too, that some buttons are too close for people who might have motor control problems.
I love my iPad but I fear as I age, the iPad might not keep up with me.

Is there a way to remove the size and position readout when moving Lines in Keynote?

When moving the endpoints of lines while creating a presentation, a size and position readout appears on the screen. This obscures details below it, often making it difficult to precisely position a line. Is there a way of disabling this? The option in Preferences for disabling this readout for objects does not work for lines. Is this a bug, or am I missing something?

I will tell him about that, but I don't think that would be it if that is related to animation.
We're talking about the wallpaper background that get blurry during the phone screens like http://www.tekrevue.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/09/20130923_ios7emergencycallfla w.jpg (left side) and http://i.i.cbsi.com/cnwk.1d/i/tim2/2013/09/20/ChangingYourTheme.png ... You can see there are background images that got blurred out.
