JTabbedPane troubles

I recently added the following line of code to my program:
setTabLayoutPolicy(JTabbedPane.SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT);This caused a ClassCastException when I ran the program in a method that previously did not cause an error. The error is from the following:
public JList getList(String groupName){
    for(int i = 0; i<getTabCount(); i++){
      String title = getTitleAt(i);
      if(title.equals(groupName)){
        JScrollPane j = (JScrollPane)getComponent(i);  // LINE 63
        JList list = (JList)j.getViewport().getView();
         return list;
    return null;
  }java.lang.ClassCastException: javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicTabbedPaneUI$ScrollableTabButton cannot be cast to javax.swing.JScrollPane
     at gui.GroupPane.getList(GroupPane.java:63)
The only components that I added to the JTabbedPane were JLists. I'm pretty sure that the component that it is trying to cast is one of the little arrow buttons, but I don't think this should happen.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Jason

Use the JTabbedPane.getComponentAt(...) method, not the Container.getComponent(...) method.

  • JTable and JTabbedPane questions

    I have an application which has some JTabbedPanes setup, one of which has a table on it.
    What i'm after is a way of having a user select a row from the table and in doing so this will send them to another tabbedpane.
    So what i need is a way of assigning each row an ID number, then being able to extract this ID, and being able to switch to a new tab without having to click on the tab itself.
    I hope someone can point me in the right direction.
    One more question as well.
    I'm designing a networked bulletinboard application (using javaspaces) and i'm having an implementation issue.
    At the moment I can list all the topics in a table which just contains |the author, topic title and date created|.
    I'm having trouble thinking of a good way of displaying the actuall topic itself (and multiple follow-up posts).
    I was thinking of doing this in another table, but i couldnt find a way of customizing the layout enough to display formatted text. So i thought I would just do a loop of JTextAreas for each topic.
    Something along the lines of:
    while (i < number_of_posts)
    Create_JTextArea(post[i]);
    Do you think this would be a suitable way of implementing this? Or is there a better way that i'm missing?

    So what i need is a way of assigning each row an ID numberStore the ID number in the TableModel. You then just remove the TableColumn from the TableColumnModel and the ID will not be displayed in the table. You then simply use model.getValueAt(...) to reference the ID.

  • 24pt Font Size Tab Text for JTabbedPane

    I'm creating an app for use with Touchscreens and need to make the buttons and such, large enough to fit the tip of a finger.
    I'm having trouble with the JTabbedPane font size and am having trouble finding a way to make the text in the tab larger.
    Same issue with text in a border. Just for looks but would be nice.
    And the text in the window title.
    I've searched the forums and the tutorials but couldn't find anything. Thanks in advance for your assistance.
    Stone

    Hi,
    the text in the window's title is managed by the underlying OS. So, I guess there is no possibility to influence this text. Except you change the display properties of the OS on this computer that runs your app.

  • Dynamic JTabbedPane using Reflection

    Hi all,
    First time posting... I am wanting to created a dynamic JTabbedPane that creates its tabs with dynamic objects, these objects are defined at runtime. I have searched the forums and got this far but I am having trouble with casting the Method object to a type of Component which is what is required by the add(String str,Component comp) ;
    I know that I have given it a paramater of type Method, I am not sure though how to cast it to a type Component. The strings "myClassName" and "myTabTitle" have only been used for the purpose of this post.
    Some more background information that might be usefull is the .getInstance() method that I am trying to invoke .. the SamConfigPanel class extends a custom abstract class that is of type JPanel.
    My code is posted below ... any thoughts??
    public static final SamConfigPanel getInstance()
    if (samConfigPanel == null)
    samConfigPanel = new SamConfigPanel();
    return samConfigPanel;
    Class cls;
    JTabbedPane iTabs = new JTabbedPane();
    try
    cls = Class.forName("myclassName");
    Method method = cls.getMethod("getInstance",new Class[0]);
    method.setAccessible(true);
    method.invoke(cls, new Object[0]);
    // testing for instance of my dynamic class
    boolean b2 = cls.isInstance(SamConfigPanel.getInstance());
    System.out.println(b2);
    iTabs.add("myTabTitle",method.invoke(cls, new Object[0]));
    catch(ClassNotFoundException e)
    System.out.println(e.toString());
    catch(NoSuchMethodException e)
    System.out.println(e.toString());
    catch(IllegalAccessException e)
    System.out.println(e.toString());
    catch(InvocationTargetException e)
    System.out.println(e.toString());
    }

    as long as you're shure that your method returns a component it's safe to cast.
    if you can't be shure, you'd have to check the return type of your method before invoking directly.
    or invoke the method first, then check the object.
    Object o = method.invoke(null, new Object[0]);
    if ( o instanceof Component)
            iTabs.add(keys,(Component)o);
    else
           //do something else, print warning or such

  • Changing Focus of JTabbedPanes

    Hai Friends,
    I am on the way of developing a QUERY ANALYSER. Mean while i got a problem. in my product I am using two JTabbedPanes(1 & 2).
    In TabbedPane1 i have a text area (to write the query) and the tabbedpane2 on which two panes( one for dispaying the result on a JTable and other for displaying messages.).
    The problem is Ilike to view(change Focus) the message if some error occurs and shift to other pane if some results obtained to JTable.
    i couldn't make it possible..
    some one help me.....
    Tino Simon.

    1) Because you are too impatient. Your question in no
    more important than anybody elses
    2) Because you've already been given the solution.I am extremely SORRY Mr.camickr.
    I was in a hurry to finish my module, which cause some troubles in my codes. The solution you've given really works. The problem was lack of my concentration.
    Any way THANK YOU very much.
    Once more I am begging Pardon.

  • JAWS and Selection Events - JComboBox, JTabbedPane

    Hi,
    I am adding accessibility to one of our Products for a client that has employed a blind person. I am having trouble with JAWS reading items in JComboBoxes and items in JTabbedPanes.
    If I start JAWS then our application which runs in a browser as an applet, JAWS will read the label for the ComboBox when it is focussed, then read the Item name and which element of the total elements it is. eg. "Combo Box closed, Elephant 1 of 20". If I then try and change the selected item in the combo box JAWS will not read any of the selection changes. These results are the same with Java Ferret, it does not read any of the selection changes.
    Now the interesting part, if I start my applet and have it loaded and THEN start JAWS or Java Ferret, they will read the menu items as the selection changes. This problem is exactly the same for changing tabs in a JTabbedPane, JAWS will only read the Tab names if it is started after the Applet.
    If anyone can help with this problem it would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Greg

  • JTabbedPane and JInternalPanes

    Hi,
    I have a JFrame which contains a JDesktopPane. Inside the JDesktopPane, there are 4 JInternalPanes. What I want to do is that when any one of the JInternalPanes are maximized, I put them all into the JTabbedPane. How do I do that? I'm having trouble listening to the maximize event from the JInternalPane, to start with. Thanks.

    I had the same problem. I fixed it by overriding the remove() method to fire a StateChanged event:
    tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane()
         public void remove(int tab)
              super.remove( tab );
              int after = getSelectedIndex();
              //  The selected tab remained the same after this remove, consider
              //  it a state changed
              if (after == tab)
                   fireStateChanged();
    };

  • Making the ChangeListener only fire once on a JTabbedPane

    Hi guys, I'm having a problem with the amount of times that a ChangeListener for a JTabbedPane is called. If the user clicks on a certain tab, a JOptionPane is displayed with a message. However, I can't figure out a easy work around to make it so the listener only executes the code within it only once - I don't want the JOptionPane to come up twice. I tried doing a not-so-great boolean method:
    private void setPass(){
         if (pass)
              pass = false;
         else
              pass = true;
    }and calling it from within the listener, but I'm having trouble with it. Anyone know how to make it so the lister only fires once, or at least only displays the dialog once? I tried searching the forums using keywords such as "JTabbedPane ChangeListener pass once twice... etc" but it didn't bring anything relevant up. Thanks!

    are you sure you're using a changeListener?

  • CardLayout of JTabbedPanes

    I have a little program that has a JSplitPane for the main layout of the GUI, but I built it on top of a JTabbedPane layout with nested JTabbedPanes. As you can guess it is the ugliest program ever. But I can't get a CardLayout to work instead of the main JTabbedPane. I was wondering if any one knew a good tutorial or example because I've seen it done.

  • Wasted Space in JTabbedPane

    Anyone know if there is a way to prevent excess space in a JTabbedPane? As in, keep the pane only as big at the biggest tab within it?
    Take this for example:
    public class TabbedPaneLayoutTest {
         public static void main(String[] args) {
              SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
                   public void run() {
                        launchUI();
         private static void launchUI() {
              JFrame frame = new JFrame("Tabbed Pane Layout Test");
              JPanel mainPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
              JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
              for (int i=0; i<4; i++) {
                   tabbedPane.addTab("test", new JLabel("Hi"));
              mainPanel.add(tabbedPane, BorderLayout.NORTH);
              JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane();
              mainPanel.add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
              frame.setContentPane(mainPanel);
              frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
              frame.pack();
              frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
              frame.setVisible(true);
    }In the example, I placed the JTabbedPane in the NORTH of a BorderLayout to try and keep it as compact as possible. If you set i to either 1 or 2, so only 1 or 2 tabs are created, the tabs stay very compact. But when you get up to 4 or more tabs, there is a fair amount of wasted space. Anyone familiar with this phenomenon and/or have any possible solutions?

    Looks like you are right, camickr -- The default wrapped tab layout policy must be leaving extra space for wrapping the tabs. When I switch to SCROLL_TAB_LAYOUT the wasted space disappears. I had originally assumed that the panel would simply grow in size when it needs to wrap tabs, but apparently it's doesn't work like that. For the particular instance where it was troubling me, I'll just switch to the scroll tab layout. Thanks.

  • JTabbedPanes and JApplets

    Hey guys,
    I was hoping that someone could provide or point me towards extensive examples of applets using JTabbedPanes. I've been to the on-site tutorial here, and am still confused on how to properly implement functionality when using JTabbedPanes, especially in regards to formatting/painting. I'm having trouble locating examples of working code.
    I'm attempting to take an applet created with the intention of using multiple frames and instead use a JTabbedFrame to provide that multiple-view functionality.
    Thanks!

    First, you must have a class that implements the MouseListener (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/event/MouseListener.html) interface (http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/java/interpack/interfaceDef.html). Then pass an object of that class to your JPanel's addMouseListener method (http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/docs/api/java/awt/Component.html#addMouseListener(java.awt.event.MouseListener)).
    There are many possible implementations. You could make the JPanel in question its own MouseListener, for example.

  • Mini-Dvi-to-Video trouble

    I just bought a mini-dvi-to-video adapter so I could use my TV as a display. More specifically, so I could use my VCR to record what's on my Mac's display. I also bought a headphone-to-composite cable adapter. I'm using a double-headed (is that one male or female? It's male, isn't it?) composite cable from the video adapter to the VCR. The problem is, it doesn't show up. The sound plays (and records) fine, but the video neither shows up on the TV screen nor records onto the tape. What's the problem? Both adapters are Dynex, my computer's a Late 2006 iMac (I think), the cable is WireLogic, and both the VCR and TV are Sony. Please help, thanks.

    So if you eliminate the double headed splitter and plug straight into the TV, does the video still not show up?
    FYI, there have been reports in the past of trouble with the Dynex video adapter. You may need to purchase the Apple OEM one. The Dynex may lack having a ROM inside of it with a proper EDID in the ROM. This is crucial to the Mac.

  • Trouble Using Apple's Video Adapter

    I am having trouble getting my eMac to work with the Apple Mini-DVI to Video Adapter. There are no directions telling you how to use it or to even get it to work. I want to use it to import videos from my Sony Hi8 camcorder and was told by Apple's Live help that this is what I needed to import video and make DVDs. How do I get this adapter to work?

    Welcome aboard.
    I think the adapter you have is for video output, not input. To input video to the eMac you need a firewire connection. Sony cameras typically have a 4 wire connector which is smaller than the 6 wire plug on the mac, so you need a cable that has a 4 wire connector on one end and a 6 wire connector on the other. Cameras often (but not always) come with such a cable. You also need a digital camcorder- not just Hi8., although Sony does make cameras that will do both. If you camera does not have digital output, you need a convertor box.

  • Hi, I am having trouble MacBook Air crashing since Yosemite upgrade. I ran an Etresoft check but I don't know what it means... my system runs slowly and crashes. I have to force shutdown. Sometimes screen is black for a split second b/w webmail pages

    Hello,
    I am having trouble with my MacBook Air 13 inch June 2012 MacBook Air5, 2 4GB RAM  details below in Etresoft report. I recently upgraded to Yosemite and am having system trouble. My computer crashes and I have to force quit to restart. When using webmail there is a black screen for a split second between pages. This did not happen before. I am worried that it is not running properly and perhaps I need to revert to the previous operating system. I only have a MacBook Air and no need to share images between a tablet or phone so I did not need the new photo sharing software of Yosemite. I wonder if I don't have enough RAM to run it? I did not run time machine before I made the upgrade as I did not realise the significance of an upgrade as not very Mac literate. Any advice on whether my system is in danger... most appreciated! I am writing a book and making a back up but this machine is my lifeline and my work is conducted through it. It ran perfectly before... the Yosemite upgrade has perhaps highlighted some problems and it has unnerved me!
    Thanks ever so much for your advice!

    When you have kernel panics, the pertinent information is in the panic report.
    These instructions must be carried out as an administrator. If you have only one user account, you are the administrator.
    Launch the Console application in any of the following ways:
    ☞ Enter the first few letters of its name into a Spotlight search. Select it in the results (it should be at the top.)
    ☞ In the Finder, select Go ▹ Utilities from the menu bar, or press the key combination shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.
    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.
    In the Console window, select
              DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION ▹ System Diagnostic Reports
    (not Diagnostic and Usage Messages) from the log list on the left. If you don't see that list, select
              View ▹ Show Log List
    from the menu bar.
    There is a disclosure triangle to the left of the list item. If the triangle is pointing to the right, click it so that it points down. You'll see a list of reports. A panic report has a name that begins with "Kernel" and ends in ".panic". Select the most recent one. The contents of the report will appear on the right. Use copy and paste to post the entire contents—the text, not a screenshot.
    If you don't see any reports listed, but you know there was a panic, you may have chosen Diagnostic and Usage Messages from the log list. Choose DIAGNOSTIC AND USAGE INFORMATION instead.
    In the interest of privacy, I suggest that, before posting, you edit out the “Anonymous UUID,” a long string of letters, numbers, and dashes in the header of the report, if it’s present (it may not be.)
    Please don’t post other kinds of diagnostic report.
    I know the report is long, maybe several hundred lines. Please post all of it anyway.

  • I had a 1 TB Drive that was connected as a back up, but it is no longer recognized by the mac.  How may I trouble shoot to reconnect?

    how do I trouble shoot this?

    Good News.
    If this is your only Backup would suggest getting a New EHD and creating another one... Preferably a Clone if you don't already have one.

    Can never have too many Backups...
