Placing a JButton inside a JTextfield aligned to right

hi,
i would like to add a JButton inside a JTextField. Actually the textfield shows the current path to which image is saved. So to get a file browser, user will click a small button present inside the textfield and selects the file and simultaneously the text of jtextfield is updated.
i tried of using jTextField1.add(jButton1); but it has no effect. Neither button was displayed nor any error message was displayed.
So plzz help me out. thanx

You shouldn't try to put the JButton in the JTextField. A JTextField isn't meant to hold other components.
Create a JPanel and add the JTextField and the JButton to it.

How connect a Jbutton to a Jtextfield

Hi guys,
I'm creating a Jform composed by 2 elements: a Jbutton and a Jtextfield.
The Jbutton is connected to a custom method that i have written and exported from my application module. The method in question takes 1 parameter in input, and i would like that it was the text in the JtextField of the same frame.
How can i do this?
where i can find a documentation wich explains how to do this kind of things with jdeveloper 10g?
Thank you all

Don't drag the method as a button to your form, create a regular JButton and onMouseClick:
AppModule a =(AppModule)panelBinding.getApplicationModule();
a.MyCustomMethod(jTextField1.getText());

Insert a JButton inside JAVAFX application

Hello,
Is it possible to embed a JButton inside a JAVAFx application?
Thanks.

I think the answer is not in Java Fx 2.2 (Java 1.7) but yes in Java Fx 8 (Java 1.8).
In 2.2 you can put Java FX components inside Swing components using JFXPanel but the reverse is not possible until 8 which has the SwingNode.

Disable keyboard action inside a JTextField

Hi,
I am new to Swing programming ... I just want to know how to disable all keyboard actions inside a JTextField. I don't want to use setEnabled / setDisabled or setEditable(true / false) ... because this causes the textfield background to turn gray color. It should be like HTML TextFields ... plzz help
Thankss in advance

Hi,
thanks for ur reply, but I have aready used JTextField .. and implemented a logic so that the background stays default by calling setEditable(TRUE) just after setEditable(false) is called .. but still for atleast 1 sec the JTextField is turning gray and then default color ..

Interchange positions of jbutton inside jpanel

Hi Friends,
I'm trying interchange the position of JButtons inside a JPanel and between the Jpanels.
I'm unable to find the exact releasing positions.
can anyone help me telling the exact procedure .
here is the code
Container con = jb.getParent();
     con.remove(jb);
insertPosition2 = con.getComponentZOrder((Container)jb);
if(con.getComponentCount() == insertPosition2)
                         con.add(jb);
                    else
                         con.add(jb,insertPosition2);
thanx,
Sunil.

I've never tried this myself, but the documentation for Container#getComponentZOrder says:
The higher a component is in the z-order hierarchy, the lower its index.
Maybe you could try withinsertPosition2 = con.getComponentZOrder((Container)jb);In any case, the correct approach to this kind of troubleshooting is to insert System.out.println statements in between the lines posted so you can observe whether your assumptions about the values the methods return are correct ones.
Use code tags to post codes -- [code]CODE[/code] will display asCODEOr click the CODE button and paste your code between the {code} tags that appear.

OWB export flat file with align to right

Hi All
I want to know if is possible to configure a metadata POSITIONAL FILE (Flat File) where every data is align to right, in a Mapping.
I don't want to use a oracle function RPAD with Paletta Expression.
Regards

Hi,
Based on my test, I can reproduce the similar issue in my environment. When we create the Flat File Connection Manager with the default settings, the data in flat file stops when goes to the Chinese characters.
To fix the issue that makes the Chinese characters to actually get written into the flat file, we should check the Unicode checkbox on the right hand side of Locale property in Flat File Connection Manager. In this way, the flat file can display Chinese
characters.
The following screenshot is for your reference:

TextBlock does not aligns to right in DataGridTemplateColumn

Hello guys here:
I am currently running into a nasty issue. What I wanna achieve is to put two text blocks horizontally in a DataGridTemplateColumn and I wanna align the right text block text to the right. Here is my code:

Any hints on how to fix this problem and control the width of the textblock in a DataGridTemplateColumn? Thanks in advance!
Best regards

I suggest you consider dockpanel because I think you can dock one textblock left and one right.
Horzontalalignment stretch tries to stretch it to fit the container, don't use that.
Bear in mind though that you could conceivably end up with one on top of the other if they don't fit.
A grid with 2 columns might be safer.
That'd look roughly like
<DataGridTemplateColumn.CellTemplate>
<DataTemplate>
<toolkit:DockPanel >
<TextBlock .... toolkit:DockPanel.Dock="Left"/>
<TextBlock .... toolkit:DockPanel.Dock="Right"/>
</StackPanel>
</DataTemplate>
You need a reference and xmlns
xmlns:toolkit="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation/toolkit"
or
xmlns:toolkit="clr-namespace:Microsoft.Windows.Controls;assembly=Microsoft.Windows.Controls"
Hope that helps.

Multiple JButtons inside JTable cell - Dispatch mouse clicks

Hi.
I know this subject has already some discussions on the forum, but I can't seem to find anything that solves my problem.
In my application, every JTable cell is a JPanel, that using a GridLayout, places vertically several JPanel's witch using an Overlay layout contains a JLabel and a JButton.
As you can see, its a fairly complex cell...
Unfortunately, because I use several JButtons in several locations inside a JTable cell, sometimes I can't get the mouse clicks to make through.
This is my Table custom renderer:
public class TimeTableRenderer implements TableCellRenderer {
     Border unselectedBorder = null;
     Border selectedBorder = null;
     public Component getTableCellRendererComponent(JTable table, Object value, boolean isSelected,
               boolean hasFocus, int row, int column) {
          if (value instanceof BlocoGrid) {
               if (isSelected) {
                    if (selectedBorder == null)
                         selectedBorder = BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(2,2,2,2, table.getSelectionBackground());
                    ((BlocoGrid) value).setBorder(selectedBorder);
               } else {
                    if (unselectedBorder == null)
                         unselectedBorder = BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(2,2,2,2, table.getBackground());
                    ((BlocoGrid) value).setBorder(unselectedBorder);
          return (Component) value;
}and this is my custom editor (so clicks can get passed on):
public class TimeTableEditor extends AbstractCellEditor implements TableCellEditor {
     private TimeTableRenderer render = null;
     public TimeTableEditor() {
          render = new TimeTableRenderer();
    public Component getTableCellEditorComponent(JTable table, Object value,
            boolean isSelected, int row, int column) {
         if (value instanceof BlocoGrid) {
              if (((BlocoGrid) value).barras.size() > 0) {
                   return render.getTableCellRendererComponent(table, value, isSelected, true, row, column);
         return null;
    public Object getCellEditorValue() {
        return null;
}As you can see, both the renderer and editor return the same component that cames from the JTable model (all table values (components) only get instantiated once, so the same component is passed on to the renderer and editor).
Is this the most correct way to get clicks to the cell component?
Please check the screenshot below to see how the JButtons get placed inside the cell:

If you need more info, please say so.
Thanks.

My mistake... It worked fine. The cell span code was malfunctioning. Thanks anyway.

Changing the size of a jbutton inside a jtable

Hi,
I have found this example for adding a jbutton to a jtable:
http://forum.java.sun.com/thread.jspa?forumID=57&threadID=715330
however, I have cannot seem to figure out how to set the size of the jbutton. Currently, the jbutton is filled to the size of the cell within the jtable, but i want to have it a bit smaller and centered (the rows of my table are rather large in hieght)
I tried the setSize()
setPrefferedSize()
setMinimumSize()
setMaximumSize()methods, but nothing seems to work. Has anyone been able to do this?

Use a JPanel instead of a JButton as cell renderer. Put a button inside the panel - use FlowLayout.

How to display the context of a Jbutton to a JTextField

Hi,
There is a key pad (1-9) on a GUI where each key is represented by a JButton. There is also a data entry filed, implemented using JTextField.
However, when the user enters the ID using the key pad buttons each number should be displayed in the data entry field correspondingly (similar to calculator). I have already written the handlers for each button just don't know how to display the contexts in the text field, e.g. if the button 1 is pressed the 1 should be appeared in the text filed immediately. Anyone can help me to get this done?
Thanks in advance,
RMP

Using placed/named instances inside another movieclip

I'm trying to be good and make all my movieclips linked to a
class file, but I'd still like the convenience of placing and
naming other instances instead of having to declare a variable,
instantiating it and addChild-ing it in the class file. Is this
possible?
Here's the situation: I've created a library.fla with
components, for example LCARSButton and LCARSElbow. But now I want
to build movie clips (inside of library.fla) that use these
components, for example LCARSPrefs.
I can create a frame script inside of LCARSPrefs that
positions the instances of LCARSButton and LCARSElbows that I
placed and named on the stage of LCARSPrefs. But if I try linking
LCARSPrefs to a class file, say LCARSPrefs.as, I'll get an 1120
error telling me that I haven't declared the variables that
correspond to the instances of LCARSButton and LCARSElbow that I
placed on the stage.
Is it impossible to mix these two approaches? If you link to
a class, are you forced to use code to declare and add instances of
components?
I would prefer to have a mix of these approaches because I'm
trying to create a runtime shared library of components and the
movies that incorporate these components. For instance, I want
logs.fla to import LCARSPrefs from the library and I want to see a
visual representation of that imported instance. But if I can't
place instances of the components into the LCARSPrefs movieclip
back in library.fla, I will see nothing when I import it into
logs.fla.
I could make LCARSPrefs yet another component, thus giving it
a livePreview, but that seems overkill to me.
I'd appreciate any help.
Thanks,
Jennifer

OK, I've attached one solution that just seems horribly
convoluted to me. I have to create a new variable that's just a
reference to the placed instance: _square_mc =
SquareComponent(getChildByName("square_mc"));
Or is there a simpler method?
Again, thanks, Jennifer

CS3-style of placing the images inside frames in CS4.

Hi everyone,
I'm trying to find a way to have the cs3 - style of placing the images into frames in the new Indy CS4. I mean when I hit cmd+D and draw a frame I don't want any scaling / fitting of the placed image. I know there's no scaling if you drop an image into existing frame but when you draw one on-the-fly it's either the frame that keeps the proportions of the image or when you hold shift the image gets scaled to fit into.
I'd rather have the old style placing as an option - but didn't find such a switch anywhere in the prefs.
Thnx.
R.

Interesting request. I wouldn't have thought anyone would want the older way of creating images in frames, but I guess there's always someone who wants the old ways.
I can't find any preference to restore the behavior back to the pre-CS4 way.
But if you want to work with images the old way, you can. Your commands are just a little different, in a different order. But you may actually save a step.
Consider:
b In CS3 you had to do the following:
1. Drag to create a frame.
2. Switch to the Direct Selection tool.
3. If desired, change the position the image inside the frame
4. If desired, scale the image inside the frame
5. If desired, use the Fitting commands to fit the image inside the frame.
b In CS4 you have to do the following:
1. Drag to create a frame.
2. Switch to the Direct Selection tool.
3. Scale the image inside the frame.
4. Position the image inside the frame.
However, step 5 is probably eliminated as you already started with the image fitting inside the frame.
I agree no one likes to need to learn new work habits, but it's not such a big deal.
