Jtabbed pane problem + flags printout

Hi,
I am having difficulty displaying a JTabbedPane which is contained by a dialog. When I display the Dialog for the first time the Tabbed displays perfectly - anytime after that it disappears.
I found this really strange so I put in some printout statements for the JTabbed pane here's what I got
When it displays the prinout for the JTabbed pane is ............................
extCellTabbedPane
rnh.adj.cellhandovermgt.gui.refactor.ExtCellTabbedPane[,0,0,0x0,invalid,layout=javax.swi
ng.plaf.basic.BasicTabbedPaneUI$TabbedPaneLayout,alignmentX=null,alignmentY=null
,border=,flags=0,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,haveRegistered=false,t
abPlacement=TOP]
When it does n't display the prinout for the JTabbedPane is
rnh.adjcellhandovermgt.gui.refactor.ExtCellTabbedPane[,0,67,193x45,inv
alid,layout=javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTabbedPaneUI$TabbedPaneLayout,alignmentX
=null,alignmentY=null,border=,flags=16,maximumSize=,minimumSize=,preferredSize=,
haveRegistered=false,tabPlacement=TOP]
What I am interested in is the meaning of the parameter flags. In one case it is 0 and in one case it is 16? What does this parameter mean? Where I can get some information on this as I think this will tell me what is happening to the JTabbedPane.
Thank you in Advance
Alex

The flags item reflect the flags value in JComponent
class. It represents several status
of the component:
REQUEST_FOCUS_DISABLE
IS_DOUBLE_BUFFERED
ANCESTOR_USING_BUFFER
IS_PAINTING_TITLE
HAS_FOCUS
IS_OPAQUE
As my understand about your problem, this may be no
help for you to locate the error
As the message you post, you might use a third
implementation of JTabbedPane, so the
problem might be in the implementation. I
have used JTabbedPane often with no error
like you say :)
Hope this Helps!Thanks for your help here - I would like more information if possible i.e. a numerical mapping for each property - do you know where I could get this. I don't really understand what you mean about the Third implementation. Do you mean simply extend the JTabbedPane? Thisis what I do but I don't really know what part to change to stop it disappearing. Thanks once again. Anymore help would be greatly appreciated.

JCombobox on a jtabbed pane, AND Choice on jtabbed pane problems

I have a Choice on a jtabbed pane, on a panel that isn't showing when the jtabbed pane is made visible. The Choice on the hidden pane is "bleeding" through to the first tabbed panel. help!
If I click on the second tabbed panel (where the Choice is), and then click on the first tabbed panel, the Choice becomes hidden like it is supposed to.
AND, I have a JComboBox on a JTabbedPane, it works for the most part, but when you click on it, the scrollbox underneath it doesn't appear! Instead, a grey box appears below it. Help!

I was having similar problems when I was working with JFrames, Anything not covered by a piece of GUI would show other parts of my program (like the progress bar or buttons and stuff).
Anyway, it went away when I used the setBackground() method. My guess is that using this forces the container to be opaque or something. Anyway, it worked for me, maybe it will work for you also.

JTabbed Pane Problem

I have this problem,i add the following 3 JPanels to the JTabbedPane but when i display the JTabbedPane in the GUI,the first tab is selected by default at the start,The 3 tabs overlap for some reason(you can see all the data form the 3 tabs behind the tab in front),If i select all the tabs then they go back to normal,is there anyway you know know to fix this.
     public setFieldNames()
          super();
          gb1 = new GridBagLayout();
          gbc = new GridBagConstraints();
          setLayout(gb1);
          mainHeadingSection = new createMainOptionPanel(this);
          otherOptionsSection = new createNextOptionPanel(this);
          prodVersionSection = new createProductVersionPanel(this);
          createExitInputAndSubmit();
          buttonSection.setLayout(gb1);
          createButtonSection();
          buttonSection.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(400,700));
          buttonSection.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400,700));
          //buttonSection.setBackground(lightBlue);
          fileListSection.setLayout(gb1);
          createFileListSection();
          fileListSection.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(300,200));
          fileListSection.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(300,200));
          //fileListSection.setBackground(lightBlue1);
          theTabbedPanel = new JPanel();
tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane(JTabbedPane.BOTTOM);
tabbedPane.setSize(400,700);
tabbedPane.addTab("Main Options", mainHeadingSection);
tabbedPane.addTab("Options ", otherOptionsSection);
tabbedPane.addTab(" Product Version ", prodVersionSection);
theTabbedPanel.add(tabbedPane);
          theTabbedPanel.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(400,700));
          theTabbedPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(400,700));
          addComp(theTabbedPanel,                         this,gb1,gbc,0,1,1,1,1,1,gbc.NORTH);
          addComp(buttonSection,                         this,gb1,gbc,0,0,1,1,1,1,gbc.NORTH);
          tabbedPane.setSelectedIndex(0);
     }

I guess the problem is that you explictly set a size for each tab, and the JTabbedPane. If you let a LayoutManager do this for you the JTabbedPane will automaticly choose a size for itself and the panels that you add, so that all the panels get an equal size, just large enough that all the panels completely overlap.
So I guess you can just remove/comment out the lines where you set the minimum/preferred size for you panels and the tabbedpane.
Don't forget to call pack() on the window/JFrame where you add your components

JTabbed Pane problems

hi, i get the following error when i run this piece of code (below).
java.lang.ClassCastException: insertapplet
java.lang.ClassCastException: editapplet
i have the .class in the same directory. the applet runs, shows the tabs but doesn't display the embedded applets. what's wrong?
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;
public class Tabbed extends JApplet {
static Object[][] q = {
   // { "Query", "queryapplet.class" },
     { "Insert", insertapplet.class },
   { "Edit", editapplet.class },
static JPanel makePanel(Class c) {
   String title = c.getName();
   System.out.println(title);
   title = title.substring(
     title.lastIndexOf('.') + 1);
   JPanel sp = null;
   try {
     sp = (JPanel)c.newInstance();
   } catch(Exception e) {
     System.out.println(e);
   //   sp.setBorder(new TitledBorder(title));
   return sp;
public void init() {
   Container cp = getContentPane();
   cp.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
   JTabbedPane tabbed = new JTabbedPane();
   for(int i = 0; i < q.length; i++)
     tabbed.addTab((String)q[0],
makePanel((Class)q[i][1]));
cp.add(tabbed, BorderLayout.CENTER);
tabbed.setSelectedIndex(q.length/2);

JApplet extends from Panel, so if you try to cast it to a JPanel it gives you ClassCastException.
Replace JPanel with Panel in the makePanel method and it should work.
static Panel makePanel(Class c)
    String title = c.getName();
    System.out.println(title);
    title = title.substring(title.lastIndexOf('.') + 1);
    Panel sp = null;
    try
      sp = (Panel) c.newInstance();
    catch (Exception e)
      System.out.println(e);
    }   //   sp.setBorder(new TitledBorder(title));
    return sp;
}Antonio :)

X JPanels in a JTabbed pane.

I'm wondering if anyone can help.
I have an application consisting of a JTabbed pane, within this there should be 'x' JPanels. Each JPanel has 3 RadioButtons and 5 Text fields. I need to be able to refer to each radio button and text field as RB0 - RBx and TF0 - TFx.
It is obviously easy enough to do this for just 3 or even 20 (despite a lot of coding), however, my problem is getting a variable number (x) of Panels with respective variable numbers of TF and radio buttons.
Simply I need to produce an array of panels, radiobuttons and textfields....
anyone anyideas?

another way of looking at it is to think how can I make 5 of exactly the same panel (just with different names) in the same tabbed frame in just one bit of code that is called 5 times - or x in this case.

Jtabbed pane is listening to the keyboard, how do i stop?

hello
this is probobly a simple Swing problem. i have a j3d canvas inside a tabbed pane with other info on other panes. i need the keyboard to listen on the canvas so i can move around the j3d world, but the left and right are being detected by the jtabbed pane, but i didnt add any listen to those. how can i stop this behavior from occuring? its very annoying.
i appreciate any help you can lend..

The reason it is responding to keyboard events is becuase it has the focus. Request focus on the component in the tab, and the tabbed pane should stop responding. If that doesn't work, try this:
JTabbedPane tabbed = new JTabbedPane();
KeyStroke[] keys = tabbed.getRegisteredKeyStrokes();
for (int i=0; i<keys.length; i++) {
int code = keys.getKeyCode();
if (code == KeyEvent.VK_LEFT || code == KeyEvent.VK_RIGHT) {
tabbed.unregisterKeyboardAction(keys[i]);

2nd time posting: Flashing JTabbed Pane?

I'm trying to use a JTabbed Pane wherein tabs are created dynamically from the server. In order to alert the the user of the client software that a new tab has been created, I would like the top of the tab to flash or blink with a different color. any ideas how to do this? I really do want to avoid doing stuff like writing my own component etc.
Tia,
carlos

You can use:
tabPane.setBackgroundAt(i, Color.red);to set the background of tab number "i" to red, and
you can use:tabPane.setBackgroundAt(i, tabPane.getComponentAt(i).getBackground());to set the background of tab number "i" back to its original color. If you do these in a loop with a delay, then you have a flashing tab.
You can also change the font color if you want by using tabPane.setForeground(...) instead of setBackground(...)

Focus event with JTabbed pane

How do I set FocusListener to fire with I select a specific tab in a JTabbed pane? If I put the FocusListener on the Tabben pane it fires rquardless of which tab I select and if I try to use an if statement to single out a specific tab nothing happens.

If you are interested in listening to when a tab is selected you can use a ChangeListener:
JTabbedPane tab = ...
tab.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
    public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
        // get the selected tab-index:
        int index = ((JTabbedPane)e.getSource()).getSelectedIndex();
});Btw, Swing related posts should be posted in the Swing forum.

Icon in the JTABBED PANE

hello...
How can I put an Icon into the JTABBED PANE?
So every TAB will have its own Icon?
I believe JBuilder 4.0 do that.
Thank you.

Read http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/components/tabbedpane.html
tabbedPane.addTab("Title", image, panel, "Tooltip");

Transparent JTabbed Pane

Is there a way to make a JTabbed Pane transparent, include the tabs?

What do you mean? A JTabbedPane simply displays the currently selected component. In order for the whole thing to be transparent, the components contained in the JTabbedPane also need to be transparent.

JTabbed pane customize title on selection

Hi all
i want to change the title font when a tab is selected.I add a ChangeListener to my JTabbed pane to intercept tab selection and to change font via html.
I have some proble ex:
if i click on tab4, it correctly change font but the tab2 take the title of the tab1 and so on.
This is the code
          ChangeListener changeListener = new ChangeListener()
               public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent changeEvent)
                    JTabbedPane sourceTabbedPane = (JTabbedPane) changeEvent.
                         getSource();
                    int index = sourceTabbedPane.getSelectedIndex();
                    for (int i = 0; i < sourceTabbedPane.getTabCount(); i++)
                         if (i == index)
                              sourceTabbedPane.setTitleAt(i,
                                   "<html><b>" + sourceTabbedPane.getTitleAt(i) + "</html>");

I would like to ask one question - In a JTabbed pane which has WRAP_TAB_LAYOUT , the tabs will be shown in more than one rows when number of tabs is more -When I click a tab in upper row, that row will come down - Is there any way to override this default behaviorur - that is the tabs should reamai in same position when I click

If you force a particular L&F you can do this. For example, if you force the basic L&F you can create a subclass of BasicTabbedPaneUI which uses a subclass of BasicTabbedPaneUI.TabbedPaneLayout which overrides calculateTabRects.

MacBook pro, snow leopard, iPhone and Bluetooth PAN problems

Short Version:
I am having connectivity issues connecting my new MacBook Pro (MBP) to the Internet thru a Bluetooth PAN on my iPhone4. This has been working fine for a few days and then today it just stopped working responding that my iphone connection is not available, it's off, too far away or whatever. This is not the case. When I try to connect the iPhone to the MBP the iPhone is saying my MBP is not supported. I can pair the devices, but as soon as I try to connect to the Internet thru the iPhone via the MBP the connection fails.
Long Version:
I received a shiny new MacBook Pro only a few days ago and I am having Bluetooth Paired networking issues as of today, 2nd, March, 2011. The MacBook Pro is running Snow Leopard 10.6.4, and is brand spanking new, unmodified, factory defaults.
The iPhone(s) I am using are iPhone 4's with iOS 4.1
On the first day I paired the MBP with both iPhones with ease, it was so easy my grandparents could have done it. So point and click and it just worked....
The iPhones are set up in iTunes with names similar to dave1 and dave2
On the MBP I can select which device I want to connect to the Internet by going to the Bluetooth icon and connecting to whichever iPhone I have handy at the time. Since the plans are limited connectivity, I do load share between the two.
Today, for no apparent reason, I have been unable to connect to my wife's phone just getting a basic "The Bluetooth network is unavailable" message telling me the iphone is out of range, not on, etc etc etc. Not true.
No problem, I just connected to my phone instead. Occasionally I tried her phone again, but it just never worked. I eventually got her to reboot it, still no joy.
Then, a couple of hours ago, while in the middle of reading my rss feeds, my Bluetooth connection dropped out. My phone is sitting right next to the MBP. So that's not the issue. No amount of reboots of either the MBP or the iPhone have fixed this. I have unpaired and repaired the devices (on both phones) countless times. I have removed the sim card and rebooted, I have disabled and reenabled Bluetooth on both, rebooting before doing this, and after and during, I have reset network settings. Nothing I try is working here.
Pairing alone is an event, but here's an example of what's happening:
I go thru the motions, the MBP shows me a number (eg, 451234) and the number is displayed on the iPhone. They see each other. The numbers are the same. Good. I click PAIR on the iPhone and MBP and everything appears good. But then if I go to connect to the iphone on the MBP I get the out of range error.
I have made both discoverable, and tried to connect to the MBP from the iphone, and got a different error message altogether: Connection Unsuccessful - "{insert my name}'s MacBook Pro" is not supported. W-T-F? It was an hour ago? What has changed?
Then, the only option on the iPhone is to "Forget Device". ok, forget it, and start again. Same same.
Neither the iPhones nor the MBP have been upgraded or changed in anyway today, or even recently. In fact, as mentioned earlier, I was actively using the connection without any issues for a number of hours when it just stopped for no apparent reason.
Not that these matter, but I am in Thailand (live here for the time being), I'm on the TrueMove network, which offers 3G coverage in my area (Patong Beach).
This could easily have been filed under MacBook Pro, iPhone, OSX and possibly many other discussion headings, because the issue can be any or all of the OS, the MacBook Pro Bluetooth adapter, the iPhone Bluetooth, (iOS for that matter), or some other unforeseen conditions...
My head is sore from pulling my hair out. I am open to any suggestions (reasonable or otherwise!)
For further info (not that this post is long enough already, or anything, but), I thought it was interesting that the phones didn't fail at the same time, so I pulled out an old iPhone 3GS and set it up, but after pairing, the two can still not connect.
I know its not an issue with the data plan on the iPhone since I'm here surfing now without an issue, so it's not a data problem.
Open to ideas....
If you've read this far and you're ever in Phuket, give me a call... I'll shout you a beer

Ok, now I do wish I could edit....
I forgot to APPLY the network settings for the USB cable to work. Connected thru USB I can tether.
So, I kept playing, and playing some more...
I had previously unpaired everything, and gone as far as removing network devices HOWEVER...
I didn't remove the Ethernet, Firewire or Airport Network devices.
Now, I have done so. I REMOVED EVERYTHING
No pairing, no network devices.
Bluetooth was already turned off, and I rebooted.
I turned off tethering and rebooted the iphone.
I turned on bluetooth (on the MBP), I turned on tethering. I browsed for the iphone. It said I was already paired???? Ok, repair AGAIN, and THE IPHONE SHOWED MY BLUETOOTH TETHERING BLUE BAR at the top of the screen!
I opened a web page, no go... d4mn, I was close...
Opened network preferences and the created a new bluetooth PAN and voila! Internet back on the MBP. I am about to reinstall the ethernet and airport (I can live without firewire for now) and see what happens.
Basically, the link I posted two posts ago, I had already done that, but I NEEDED to remove ethernet, firewire and airport as well...
So MAYBE it's fixed, we'll see for how long. I'm not going to mark this as answered for now, because basically, it has failed for no reason, and I want to know why...
Hopefully someone can come up with something, but having to delete and reinstall all pairings and network devices (to me) is not really a solution, it's a workaround (at best).

Preference pane problem after installing Tiger

Hi
I made a mistake: I put this post on another forum (iTunes !) so I start again here and edit it.
sorry for this lengthy post !
Hello
I upgraded 2 days ago to Tiger via Erase and Install. I was very nervous but I had no problem with the upgrade itself. The Set up assistant brought back my files from my back up on FWdrive and everything seems to be fine. I followed the "take control of upgrading to Tiger" step by step. I have not yet restored missing files as it is advised but I really don't know what to restore !
When I went through the Preference system, the panes all worked fine except the "desk and screen saver" pane, which behaves strangely: it opens and immediately crashes. A dialogue appears with 3 choices: "close/report or open again" (in this order). I choose "open again" and the same happens when I select the "desk and screen saver".
But, this time, another dialogue appears with "close/ retry/report" (in this order). I choose "retry" this time and the whole Preference system reappears… in japanese !
I live in Japan but I am french so my system is in french. Now, with the Pref Sys in japanese it works when I click on the desk and sreen saver pane, but I don't have anymore my selection of pictures for the desk (of course I can get them back from my pictures). When I close it I get a message (in english): "new settings have been created for this application. Do you wish to use these settings from now on ? "
choice is: use new settings / use original settings.
I tried both. But this pane crashes again after I open it (in french and not in japanese) from the Apple menu or the icon on the side as usual.
It is not a life threatening situation but it is bothering if I have to go through the whole circus each time I want to change the picture of my desk !
other anomalies:
the Iphoto and iMovie applications do the same.
the Quick Time Player does not open at all.
the iTunes app tells me that the files cannot be read because they were created with a later version of iTunes (the install DVD of Tiger is for Tiger 10.4.6 and the iTunes version is 6.0.4. But I had updated my iTunes while I was using OSX 10.3.9 and I have the 7.6 version on my back up). I guess updating the OS will be enough to fix this ?!
last thing (but not the least): when I want to add an URL to my favorites the favorites window doesn't open. "Show all the favorites" and "add a new file" work though.Do I need another kind of manipulation with Tiger ?!
I have been through all the applications, including in the Utilities folder and they are the only ones that don't work.
I'm considering downgrading and performing a simple upgrade (but in that case, I might again have trouble with iTunes, no?)
tell me if my conclusions are right:
during the upgrading, somehow some files necessary for some applications were not transfered and when I want to open these apps the computer goes back to the original language when I first bought it (japanese).
I could still use them in japanese but it is not very confortable for me and I really would like to have the french or english version of the same app !
I hope someone will shed some light on this !
thanks
parupano

ok. One by one:
1- i'll try re-installing iPhoto and iMovie. But you did not tell me if it was enough to just bring the application to the trash or if I had to look somewhere else…
2- QT: there is no pkg in the /Library/receipts !
but there are many QT "things":
QTPlayer app in /applications/QTPlayer app.
QTUpdater in /system/library/QT (together with many components)
QTPlayer in /applications(mac OS 09) /QT/QTPlayer
QTUpdater in /applications(mac OS 09)/QT/QTUpdater
_in japanese:_
QTtm settings in /system folder/control panel/QTtmsetting (classic)
QTExtension in /system folder/extension/QTextension
3 - I looked in /System/library/PreferencePanes and there are 2 aliases:
ScreenSaver.prefPane: type: alias 4KB
Internet.prefPane type: alias
but DesktopScrennEffectsPref.pefPane is like all the other panes: type: Mac OSX preferences panel
does "alias" means that they are not really there ? what should I do ?
4 - no Safari extension or helper. QT is indicated for the Preference Pane, so you were right.
well, what do you make of all this ?
for me, one thing is sure: I'm learning a lot about computer !
thanks again for your time, I'm waiting for your answer.

Problem flagging pics in Survey & Loupe mode

Am running LR 3. It used to be, when I had several images open in Loupe mode, I could select one of those and flag it (or apply a rating or color) and only that image would be tagged. Now, for some reason (i'm assuming some update), when I do the same, it flags all the images open in Loupe mode, not just the selected image. This is also the case with Survey mode. This is majorly annoying and makes my editing process difficult. What happened? Is this a glitch wiht some update, or was this purposeful on the part of Adobe (in whihc case, can we please go back to the way it was)?
If anyone can enlighten me and let me know how to solve this problem, I would greatly appreciate it. I'm getting very frustrated with editing!!
Thanks!
Brian

Brian,
My guess is that you have AutoSynch turned on. Look at the button in the lower right or the Metadata->Enable Autosynch menu item.
