Multifunction buttons in JAVA

Hi I am new to Java. I need to make a GUI that will contain triangular shaped buttons. The trianglular button is supposed to be divided into three parts starting from the vertex down to the base of the triangle. The button controls the speed of a motor. Clicking it on the top part should give a 100% speed command to the motor.Clicking it somewhere in the middle should run the motor at 60% speed and clicking it at the bottom part should make the motor run at 30% speed. I was wondering if there is such button in Java that allows us to call three different function if we click it in three different places...

Nope, you'll need to build one.

  • Transparent Buttons in Java Swing?

    Hi!
    I want to create transparent Buttons using java swing for my desktop application. Can any one tell me how to do it?

    I can help, but it depends on what you mean by "transparent".
    Do you mean TOTALLY transparent, or slightly transparent, or merely translucent? Do you want the text on the button to be in any way transparent? You really need to be more specific.
    Basically, though, the concept is pretty simple. All swing components have several methods that can be overridden by somebody who knows what they are doing, in order to customize their appearances.
    Some of these are: paint(), paintComponent(), ComponentUI.paint(), etc.
    You need to determine the right place to put the new code. Then you extend the class, and change the transparency of the graphics object passed into the method in question, and then pass control to the super implementation of that method.
    There are some traps you need to make sure you avoid, though:
    1. If you want transparent components, you MUST have the opaque property of the component set to false. Otherwise, the components beneath your transparent button will never update.
    2. When you start messing with a graphics object to create transparency, you need to make sure that you revert your changes to the graphics object when you are finished, because all painting uses the same graphics object -> so if you set your button transparent, and then forget to remove the transparency, all objects drawn after the button will also be drawn transparent.
    A word of caution:
    This sort of manipulation is not hard, but you NEED to understand the painting model for SWING. There are a few articles hosted by sun that can help you in this respect.
    Good Luck!

    i have following questions, if possible plz. help me.
    1) is it possible to create round shape i.e circular
    shapes button using java program.
    Yes - GUI Components paint themselves through the invocation of their paint(Graphics) method. Create a subclass of JButton and override the method to paint a circle.
    public void paint(Graphics g) {
      //work out where you want to put the circle, x_pos, y_pos etc
      g.drawArc(x_pos, y_pos, width, height, 0, 360);
    }or some such. Note that since Java 1.2, the object that gets passed in to this method is actually a Graphics2D Object (subclass of Graphics). This provides extra methods.

  • White BH-940 purity pro multifunction button not w...

    I purchased a Nokia Purity Pro (BH-940) from Amazon, and it was dispatched on 13th June, 2013. The multifunction button, as at now, doesn't work anymore, nor does the microphone.
    Are there any known similar issues and can solutions be proferred?

Amazon never provided a warranty card with the product. I have searched everywhere in the packaging. The only semblance to a warranty assurance is a line of text written in the user manual that says this product is covered by a 2 year warranty.
    Nokia Care Warranty can only be declared valid for devices acquired within the same country (locally-issued Nokia product). I advise contacting Amazon as they have a better stand on giving you a favourable option regarding your case.

  • How to add control buttons using Java thorugh serial port?

    Hi everyone,
    I'm new to this forum.
    I have some questions on Java and serial port.
    I want to write a Java program to control my robot, through serial port. For example, when I click "Forward", the robot will go forward, and so on.
    Now I already have the buttons, so next I would like to ask how to interface the buttons with the serial port.
    I already have all the javax.comm things installed.
    below is the code for my buttons:
    import java.awt.*;
    public class ControlButtons extends java.applet.Applet
         GridLayout myLayout = new GridLayout(3, 3);
         Button button1 = new Button(" ");
         Button buttonForward = new Button("Forward");
         Button button2 = new Button(" ");
         Button buttonLeft = new Button("Left");
         Button buttonStop = new Button("Stop");
         Button buttonRight = new Button("Right");
         Button button3 = new Button(" ");
         Button buttonReverse = new Button("Reverse");
         Button button4 = new Button(" ");
         public void init()
              setLayout(myLayout);
              add(button1);
              button1.setVisible(false);
              add(buttonForward);
              add(button2);
              button2.setVisible(false);
              add(buttonLeft);
              add(buttonStop);
              add(buttonRight);
              add(button3);
              button3.setVisible(false);
              add(buttonReverse);
              add(button4);
              button4.setVisible(false);
    }Now I would like to ask for direction on how to add in the code to make it work with serial port.
    Thanks

    The plan is, I have a robot device connected to the serial port.We don't know anything about that device. We don't know how to control it. We don't know what you have to write to the device to make it do anything. Only you know what.
    For example, when I click "Forward", the robot will go forward, and so on.So what do you have to send to make it do that? and same for the other buttons.
    Next, you need to work out from the javax.comm API how to open the serial port and send data to it. This is a standard exercise in learning a new API. You must be able to do this. Again and again.
    But the program is useless. The button can be clicked, but didn't do anything.Because (a) they have no ActionListeners and (b) there is no code to send anything to the serial port.
    You have to write all that. So you also have to look up ActionListener in the Java API and how to attach it to a button. You can do that. We all do that kind of thing every day.
    So next I would like to ask how to interface the buttons with the serial port.You've been asking nothing else since you started, but you've also only done enough investigation of your own to create the buttons. That's only the start.
    The problem is what method and command should I use to make those buttons actually functioning.See above. You've been told part of it several times. The rest only you can answer, because it's your robot.

  • IPhone 3GS Belkin Tunebase multifunction button not working

    Hi I have an iPhone 3GS OS 6.0.1 and a Belkin Tunebase. It has been working fine up till I think I upgraded my iPhone. While the music still works the multifunction button has stopped working. This means I cannot receive calls hands free or toggle on and off music except by using the iPhone interface which is dangerous when driving. I tested the tunebase on my friends 3G iphone and it worked so I know the Tunebase is not at fault. Has anyone else had this problem and found a solution? I have cleaned all the dust out of the connection but to no avail
    cheers

    Sorted - although I had cleaned the contact points I obviously hadn't done it properly - lesson learned!

  • Clicking a htmlb:button via Java Script

    Hi Stefan,
    Use this
    <script>
    function submit()
      return htmlbSL(this,2,'b2:b2Click');
    </script>
    <htmlb:button id="b1" onClientClick="javascript:submit()" text="Call Button 2" />
    <htmlb:button id="b2" onClientClick="alert('I am clicked')" text="Button 2" />
    b2Click is server event for button 'b2'.

  • How to disable a button using Java Script in Apex

    Hi All,
    I was trying to disable a button when the value of a select list item in the same page is equal to zero. Following are the steps which I did.
    1) Created a new button template as <table class="t9StandardButton" id="#BUTTON_ID#" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" summary="">
    2) Changed the existing button template to the newly created button template.
    3) Added onchange="javascript:fdisplay(this);" to form element value of select list
    4) Added the following java script in the page header
    <script type="text/javascript">
    function fdisplay(some) {
    if (some.value==0){
    html_GetElement ('#BUTTON_ID#').disabled = true;
    else
    html_GetElement ('#BUTTON_ID#').disabled = false;
    </script>
    But the script doesn't work. Is there anything I am missing here. Please advice.
    Thanks,
    Vikas

    Vikas:
    In the 'Button Attributes' field of the button enter 'id='thisButton'.
    Modify the button template to include the substitution string #BUTTON_ATTRIBUTES# . This should be put in the anchor tag in the template defintion.
    Modify your Javascript to reference the above id as
    html_GetElement ('thisButton').disabled = true;
    ....Varad

  • Draggable buttons in Java Swing

    Hi,
    I want to develop an application in Java Swing. The application I am going to develop is an application for developing other applications. I want my application to include a button which also acts as a drag and drop UI element. For example, I want my application to include a button for adding a picture. There are 4 buttons of different pictures. If a user wants to add a picture he can either click on one of these buttons and that picture will be added somewhere on the screen or dragging this button and drop it and that picture will be added where he dropped that button.
    Could anyone please tell me…
    1. If I can develop an application which includes Drag and Drop UI element if I develop it in Java Swing
    2. If a button (or other UI element) can act as both a button and a drag and drop element if I develop my application in Java Swing
    3.
    Could you please tell me where I can find some screenshots of applications which has been developed in Java Swing? I am not familiar with this program and I am not that good at programming, so I would like to get some impression of how it might look like.
    Thanks in advanced

    1. the good thing about Swing is that it is very flexible and with clever programming you can do just about anything. The problem is that depending on your requirements, this could require a great deal of programming that can be very hard to implement such that it works properly on all popular platforms (windows, linux, mac).
    2. see 1.
    3. Swing applications are "skinnable", you can give them a great number of different appearances. The default is to give the application a system look and feel, so they look pretty much like any other application for that platform. This means that when you run your application on Windows, it will look like a Windows application, if you run it on a Mac it will look like a Mac application, etc.
    I am not familiar with this program and I am not that good at programmingThat is quite a problem, because Swing is not the easiest API around. It requires a solid knowledge of Java and Object Oriented Programming in general as the entire API is based heavily on OOP concepts. To get a better idea of Swing, read through the Swing tutorial here:

  • Help in Button in Java

    so,
    I have a two-dimensional array of Button, each one is located in a different location on the graphic screen.
    some of the raws are initialized, but some are "null".
    i hava a different one Button and i want to check whether the Button is located at the location of one of the array's cells - and this particular cell is "null" - so to initialize this cell with the data of the other Button, and then this button become to be "null" or setVisible(false)
    my problem is that i couldn't succeed to write the exact code that can fill this condition, because i couldn't think how to check whether this cell is the cell we're talking, or the one to the left, or the one to the right - because they're all close to each other, and i need to check if some cell is more (!!!) contains the one-Button than the others.
