How to use annotation with GUI in swing
hi,
i am new to annotation. I know how to use this with classes, methods and java elements. I am developing a tool in applet to post comment on my notepad, but unable to find that how to use this with GUI of swing. I have gone through most of forums and tutorials but got no idea. Anyone could give me little idea.
Thanks>
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? -
I need good gui in swings for a library management system
i need good gui in swing. i need to develope a small application of library management system where a librarian and manager access the database. librarian take care of add,del,modify the records of customer and books. with good login screens. and the manager is to generate reports
Yup, create one. Good exercise.
Doing it myself right now, am loosing track of my own collection ;)
Don't have the multi-user part in place yet, it's no priority for me (I'll be creating a readonly web interface as an alternative to the read/write Swing interface for remote access). -
Need Help to update the labels in the GUI syncronously - Swing application
Hello everyone,
I need some help regarding a swing application. I am not able to syncronously update the counters and labels that display on my Swing GUI as the application runs in the background. But when the running of application is completed, then the labels on the GUI are getting updated, But I want update the labels and counters on the GUI syncronously as the code executes... below I am giving the format of the code I have written..............
public class SwingApp extends JFrame{
// here i have declared the label and component varibles like...
private JTextField startTextField;
private JComboBox maxComboBox;
private JTextField logTextField;
private JTextField searchTextField;
private JLabel imagesDownloaded1;
private JLabel imagesDownloaded2;
private JLabel imagesDidnotDownload1;
private JLabel imagesDidnotDownload2;
private JButton startButton;
//now in the constructer.............
public Swing(){
//I used gridbaglayout and wrote the code for the GUI to appear....
startButton = new JButton("Start Downloading");
startButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
try{
actionSearch(); //actionSearch will contain all the code and the function calls of my application...........
}catch(Exception e1){
System.out.println(e1);
constraints = new GridBagConstraints();
constraints.gridwidth = GridBagConstraints.REMAINDER;
constraints.insets = new Insets(5, 5, 5, 5);
layout.setConstraints(startButton, constraints);
searchPanel.add(startButton);
//update is a function which initiates a thread which updates the GUI. this function will be called to pass the required variables in the application

Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
System.out.println("entered into thread");
System.out.println("the variable that has to be set is " + count_hits);
server_hits_count.repaint(count_hits);
server_hits_count.setText( " "+ Integer.toString(count_hits));
imagesDownloaded2.setText(" " + Integer.toString(counter_image_download1));
imagesDidnotDownload2.setText(" " + Integer.toString(didnot_download1));
repaint();
//this.update(count_hits);
thread.start();
//Now in main............................
public static void main(String[] args){
Swing s = new Swing();
s.setVisible(true);
}//end of main
}//end of class SwingAbove I have given the skeleton code of my application........ Please tell me how to update the GUI syncronously...
Please its a bit urgent...............
Thank you very much in advance
chaitanyaFirst off, note that this question should have been posted in the Swing section.
GUI events run in a separate thread (the AWT / Event Dispatch Thread) than your program.
You should be invoking AWT/Swing events via SwingUtilities.invokeLater().
If for whatever reason you want to have the program thread wait for the event to process
you can use invokeAndWait().

Making GUI update at correct time
I'm creating an engine that can display experimental stimuli for my lab working with kids with reading disabilities. I have a GUI which can display the next stimuli in the test. Once the stimuli are displayed, the program does nothing until the user presses a button and a key event is called.
I'm now trying to get my GUI to play recorded words to the user. Because it's the responsibility of the GUI to display stimuli, the GUI will be the one playing the sound (even though that's not typically thought of as a GUI responsibility). Unfortunately, even though the commands to update the GUI display are placed before the command to play the sound, the GUI does not update until it has finished playing the sound.
This has nothing to do with the sound itself: if I replace the clip.play() line with a loop that wastes time and spins around for five seconds, the GUI does not update for those five seconds.
The GUI updates itself the moment the program leaves the setStimuli() method. How can I get it to update itself before then? Commands such as this.repaint() don't appear to work.
Any thoughts on how to get the GUI to update itself before exiting the method?
public class TestingEngine {
public void setStimuli(String[] values) {
gui.setStimuli(values);
public class GUI extends javax.swing.JFrame {
public void setStimuli(String[] values){
switch (testType){
case SOUND:
String soundImageFile = "Headphones.jpg";
ImageIcon soundImage = new ImageIcon(soundImageFile);
JLabel soundImageLabel = new JLabel(soundImage);
SoundImageJPanel.removeAll();
SoundImageJPanel.repaint();
SoundImageJPanel.add(soundImageLabel);
soundImageLabel.setVisible(true);
label_S_Option1.setText(values[1]);
label_S_Option2.setText(values[2]); // <-- nothing has updated yet
SoundClip clip = new SoundClip(values[0]);
if (clip.isInitialized()) // <-- this section could also be replaced
clip.play(); // by a time-wasting loop
break;
} // <-- once program reaches here, GUI finally updates
}Ok, so just for the sake of it, I tried using the Timer method as suggested in the thread you pointed me to. This doesn't do anything, but thinking about it, I don't see why it would. Timer calls repaint() every 50 ms, but, after all, the setStimuli() method also called repaint() before playing the soundclip. If the original call of repaint() didn't do anything, then I don't think that calling it more often would.
Is there another command that I should be using? In other words, how can I tell my JFrame and JLabels to "UPDATE RIGHT NOW, NOT IN A MINUTE!"? (It would be easier if I were the JFrame's mother...)
Current version of code, with Timer class:
public class GUI extends javax.swing.JFrame {
private Thread refresh;
public GUI() {
initComponents();
refresh = new Timer(this);
refresh.start();
public void setStimuli(String[] values){
switch (testType){
case SOUND:
String soundImageFile = "Headphones.jpg";
ImageIcon soundImage = new ImageIcon(soundImageFile);
JLabel soundImageLabel = new JLabel(soundImage);
SoundImageJPanel.removeAll();
SoundImageJPanel.repaint();
SoundImageJPanel.add(soundImageLabel);
soundImageLabel.setVisible(true);
label_S_Option1.setText(values[1]);
label_S_Option2.setText(values[2]); // <-- nothing has updated yet
SoundClip clip = new SoundClip(values[0]);
if (clip.isInitialized()) // <-- this section could also be replaced
clip.play(); // by a time-wasting loop (same problem)
break;
} // <-- once program reaches here, GUI finally updates
public void callback(){
repaint();
class Timer extends Thread
private Gui parent;
public Timer(Gui g) {
parent = g;

while(true) {
try{

GUI Calculator (Swing, BorderLayout, etc.)
I am a bit of a crossroads and am needing some advice. I am trying to create a Calculator in a Window (GUI) that looks similar to a keypad. I have three files that I am working on but cannot get any of them to compile without errors. I am confused as to what I have left out and/or where I have taken a wrong turn. I will post them below and would greatly appreciate any insight and/or direction as to how to make this work! Also, I have heard from a "birdie" that there may be some problems that occur if the files are compiled out of order....does this make sense to anyone? Thank you in

JSF with Rich GUI Renderers - Swing
Has any one developed a renderer for a Thick Client/GUI such as swing. I know JSF is for web-based applications but with a suitable renderer it could be made to work with a non browser frontend, no ?
You are right.
Don't known about Swing implementation but other interesting ones are available. Have a look at XULFACES for example: http://xulfaces.sourceforge.net/getting-started.html
Anyway AJAX looks to be the "future" of rich JSF implementations. For example MyFaces Tomahawk is working to make a Dojo -http://dojotoolkit.org/- JSF implementation.
I don't known of other JSF implementations for devices like blackberry or Nokia S6x, but would be great too. -
How can I use the function keys in a GUI with swing?
I'm wondering how do you declare you want an action to happen when a user uses a function key or any key for that matter. How can you specify something frame wide or for that matter for a specific jtextbox?
you need to use an accelerator
setAccelerator(javax.swing.KeyStroke.getKeyStroke(java.awt.event.KeyEvent.VK_A, java.awt.event.InputEvent.SHIFT_MASK | java.awt.event.InputEvent.CTRL_MASK) -
i have made an application and its GUI using JFrames. The GUI is somewhat like a text editor PLUS option to execute my program on the text entered by the user. also, it has a window which shows the output/error messages. now, i want to web enable it. i.e. when the page is loaded, the user sees a similar GUI (as described above) on the page. and he shud be able to do similar things also. can somebody suggest, how can we achieve this using servlet or jsp

by using jtree we can list all the users...

How should I cread my GUI in Swing?
I need to write a GUI with which I can connect different kinds of components together (2-Dimensional). The components must be represented by images and they should be turned in 8 directions, clockwise or counterclockwise.
The graphical components should be moved with the mouse, dragging and dropping them. When released, the components should dock to another graphical component (if compatible and close enough). Maybe I would like to use a grid.
I never did dragging and dropping or rotating or docking or programming a grid. Can someone help me a little bit? Is there a framework for this existing? Or what classes or Java technologies should I use?I postet my question now to the 2D forum. Please reply here: http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jsp?forum=20&thread=337601

GUI Problem (Swing JFrame/JPanel). HELP!
Hi,
I made an small application for calculate some things.
I download i piece of code for creating bar chart and i icluded in my code. But i have problem when i am trying to show the chart in the Frame. All the buttons, textfields, labels goes to left and half are hiding.
If i open the chart on a new frame i dont have problem.
the problem apears when after i put the panel in the frame i try to put the chart in the frame. Look the code:
add(p); //Put the panel in the Frame
this.getContentPane().add(new ChartPanel(values, names, "Fertilizer Plant")); // <-- The problem!!that command mades me the problem!
Here are 2 screenshots
1. When i put the chart in the Frame (the problem)

What's the first rule of Swing? DO NOT MIX heavyweight AWT components and lightweight Swing components. Period. Never.
There's Swing equivalents for every single AWT component, and then some. There's no excuse for not using them.
However, if this chart library code is AWT based, then you should make a completely AWT based UI. Or find a different library based on Swing (like JFreeChart).
And finally:
add(p); //Put the panel in the Frame
this.getContentPane().add(new ChartPanel(values, names, "Fertilizer Plant")); // <-- The problem!!is wrong....
add(p); // <-- The problem!!
this.getContentPane().add(new ChartPanel(values, names, "Fertilizer Plant"));You don't call add on JFrame or JDialog to add things to it, unless you know what you're doing. And you clearly don't, else you wouldn't have done it. What you probably want to do is this:
this.getContentPane().add(p, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
this.getContentPane().add(new ChartPanel(values, names, "Fertilizer Plant"), BorderLayout.CENTER); -
Help needed regarding GUI in swings
I have n application which extratcs .ear (say abc.ear) in temporary folder. then from there a vector is created from that temporary folder containg the name of contents of .ear
That vector is used to populate the JSCrollPane and then this scroll pane is set on JSplitPane.
The problem is it is working fine in jdk1.4. but in jdk1.5 the GUI is not visible.
Can anyone give some suggestion for that.The problem is it is working fine in jdk1.4. but in jdk1.5 the GUI is not visible.Then you have a coding problem. Simply displaying the GUI will not be a problem between versions.
If you need further help then you need to create a "Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program" that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting. -
How to Read/Write to PS registry, tools for making GUI
Hi Folks,
We have several plugins that we would like to make available to our users by the Photoshop panel (made with Adobe Configurator).
Plugins are scripting aware, and also use reading and writing to Photoshop registry.
We also want that user can define settings for the plugin and to be able to call it by clicking on a button.
Only way that I could find is as follows:
User click on a settings button, and that calls java script that display dialog with settings.
There user can make choices and save them.
When user click on a run button script read settings from registry and calls plugin
or just call plugin (plugin can read from registry himself).
Now the questions:
What are the tools that are using to make dialogs in JS when you make java scripts to automate Photoshop?
How to read and write Photoshop registry with java script?
I am experienced plugin developer but until now all work was in PS SDK and C++.
I have no experience in scripting Photoshop trough java script.
Plugins are Win 32/64 platform that are supported is Windows XP or later.
Thank you in advance.

REG ADD [ROOT\]RegKey /v ValueName [/t DataType] [/S Separator] [/d Data] [/f]or
REGEDIT /S pathnamecommands, so call that in an external process (see ProcessBuilder class). -

KDE is the feature-full desktop with tons of appearance options and tons of features you may or may not want. Performance-wise, it's a lot slower.
as others have said, that's not necessarily the case.
If you have the hard drive space, you can make a separate partition (no more than 15 GiB is needed) and make a separate installation of Arch, where you can mess around with the various desktops. Then, once you decide what you want, install it on the partition you're actually going to be using.

If you're really concerned about keeping your testing separate from your active install, creating a separate user should be sufficient. Besides, if you have that extra diskspace to make a new install, you could just leave gnome/kde installed. It's not going to hurt anything to have them sitting there unused.
