Problem in setting background colour for jButton.

Hi,
I have a jButton in which I want to set the color of the body of the button to gray. But by setting the background color, the color of only the border surrounding the button is changed to red. How can I set the color of the the body of the button to gray?

Geeze. I never though it would be so hard to upload an image. It probably has to do with your location relative to where I uploaded (are you really in India?).Yes.
Maybe those free hosting sights that show up in my google search are only US based.photobucket was the first result in my search, but I was surprised it isn't blocked ;-)
I went ahead and created an account with photobucket. I'm assuming all I have to do is make the album public and provide a direct link (hopefully). Otherwise I just simply give up

Yup, I see it now. Tends to support what I said about system L&Fs (and you agreed)... I think if I was designing it, I would want to disallow even the red border :P
Just a nitpick, but the whole purpose of the system L&Fs being to provide a user experience consistent with different OS'es, should one even be trying to change a button background? A splash of color can always be done with an Icon.I'm going to have to agree with you on this one.If the non-system look is absolutely necessary in a Vista L&F, a paintComponent override should be a solution. Or, in case multiple buttons are to be customized, a custom UI delegate inheriting from javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicButtonUI.

Problem in Setting Background Color for JButton

Hi,
I am using Background color for JButton (color is selected from the customized JColorChooser created by us) where it contains the option of transparency. If we choose light color, then the background is set to JButton, but when we mouse-over the JButton, other components inside the container (JPanel) is getting displayed inside the button.
Can anyone help to sort out this problem.
Thanks in advance.

Hi,
Here is the code.
DialogWrapper is JDialog and ColorEditorPane is JPanel.
DialogWrapper dlg = new DialogWrapper();
ColorEditorPane colorPanel = new ColorEditorPane();
colorPanel.setValue( _data.getTransparentColor());
dlg.showWrappedDialog( colorPanel, "color_help", "color_dialog" );
if( dlg.isOK())
Color chosenColor = (Color) colorPanel.getValue().getContent();
_data.setTransparentColor( chosenColor );
_transparentColorDisplay.setBackground( chosenColor );
_transparentColorDisplay.setOpaque( true );
this.repaint();
this.doLayout();
this.validate();
}I've several components like JCheckBox, JRadioButton, JTextField in "this".

Problem to set background color for configTable cell

Hi All,
I've a configTable displays some status fields, and I need to set yellow color when the status is in processing and green when finished and red when cancelled. I've searched the forum and decided to use iterator with method RENDER_CELL_START. Here are the steps that I've done.
Step 1: wrote a new class ZCL_ACTSTAT_ITERATOR implements interface IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR.
    this class has a private attribute ORDERS containing the search result internal table data, in the CONSTRUCTOR method I pass the search result to the attribute using the statement ME->ORDERS = ORDERS. Then in the method IF_HTMLB_TABLEVIEW_ITERATOR~RENDER_CELL_START I check the p_column_key for the status fields and then get the status value and set p_style accordingly using the following statement:
CASE p_column_key.
    WHEN 'PREPAY_STATUS' OR 'DELVPLN_STATUS' OR 'DESIGN_STATUS'.
      READ TABLE me->orders INTO ls_order INDEX p_row_index.
      IF sy-subrc NE 0.
        EXIT.
      ENDIF.
      ASSIGN COMPONENT p_column_key OF STRUCTURE ls_order TO <col>.
      IF sy-subrc = 0.
        wf_text = <col>.
      ENDIF.
      IF wf_text = '00' OR wf_text = 'Initial'.
*        concatenate '<font color=""red"">'
*         WF_TEXT '</font>' into html_str.
*        create object html_bee.
*        html_bee->add( html = html_str ).
*        p_replacement_bee = html_bee.        "not work either
        p_style = 'celldesign:STANDARD'.
      ELSEIF wf_text = '10' OR wf_text = 'InProcessing'.
        p_style = 'celldesign:GOODVALUE_MEDIUM'.
      ELSEIF wf_text = '20' OR wf_text = 'Finished'.
        p_style = 'celldesign:GOODVALUE_LIGHT'.
*        p_style = 'background-color:#92D050'.
      ENDIF.
ENDCASE.
Step 2: In the component controller ZL_ZACT_MYO_ORDERS_IMPL, create a public attribute GV_ITERATOR type ref to the class created in step 1 (ZCL_ACTSTAT_ITERATOR), then in the controller's DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT method, get the combined context data and convert them into internal table LT_ORDERS, then create the iterator GV_ITERATOR passing LT_ORDERS, after this step, the result data can be transfered into iterator class and then be used in the RENDER_CELL_START method.
The DO_PREPARE_OUTPUT method is like bellow:
lr_pro ?= me->typed_context->order->collection_wrapper->get_first( ).
    WHILE lr_pro is BOUND.
      lr_pro->get_properties( IMPORTING es_attributes = ls_order ).
      if ls_order is not initial.
        append ls_order to lt_order.
      endif.
      lr_pro ?= me->typed_context->order->collection_wrapper->GET_next( ).
    ENDWHILE.
    CREATE OBJECT lc_iterator
      EXPORTING
        orders = lt_order.
    me->GV_iterator = lc_iterator.
Step 3: in the .htm page, point iterator to controller's iterator
<chtmlb:configTable id                    = "Table1"
                    table                 = "//ORDER/Table"
                    iterator              = "<%= controller->GV_ITERATOR %>"
                     />
Step 4: in the GET method of status attributes in context node ORDER, do the translation to change the status code into status description
METHOD GET_PREPAY_STATUS
    DATA: OLD_VALUE TYPE ZACT_STATU,
          LS_STATUS TYPE ZACT_STATUS_S.
    OLD_VALUE = VALUE.
    READ TABLE GT_STATUS INTO LS_STATUS WITH KEY STATUS = OLD_VALUE.
    "Get status description from field domain definition
    IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
      VALUE = LS_STATUS-NAME.           "Show status description
    ENDIF.
ENDMETHOD.
I thought I could see the status fields change their styles for different status code. But it still refuse to work, although I can debug to see that p_style really set as I expect, so I think there must have something wrong after RENDER_CELL_START, but what is it?
Could anyone please help me sort it out or point out what's missing there or guide me the correct steps? Any post is greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Jeff

Here i will get two outputs in same excel with different spread sheets,
now i want to set background color for headers i
ex:PARTY_ID,PARTY_NAME,AGENT_ID,TYPE_LOOKUP_CODE are the headers,in excel output i want background color as blue.
Please do need full help,its urgent req.

Hello,
open the file in Excel and save it, just to ensure that Excel writes all the additional stuff it thinks is necessary.
Now change the background colour of the header and save the file again but with a different name.
Open both files in a text editor and look at the differences. That's what you need to change in your code.
Alternatively you can use packages like xml_spreadsheet or ExcelDocumentType, both write the same file format that you use in your code and you don't have to reinvent the wheel.

You're referring to both data.@ColourNo and data.ColourNo. Is
it an

   public void paint(Graphics graphics) {
      graphics.setBackgroundColor(0x00FF0000); //Red
      graphics.clear();
      super.paint(graphics);

Setting background image for repeating frame in .pdf report

Is it possible to set a background image for a repeating frame, and more specifically for a repeating frame rendered in .pdf?
I do not see any standard property in the navigator for images of any sort and the documentation touches only on setting background images for graphs, which is not the intent in my case. I -did- add an HTML table property background="myimage.jpg" but the report is ultimately generated in .pdf format and I was not surprised to see that the image was not rendered.
Does anyone know if setting a background image as described is even possible, and if so, how? A second but less optimum solution would be setting the image as the background for all report pages, again in .pdf.
Many thanks.

Hi Raj,
Yes you can have an image in the background. Thats possible if you are using XML forms as an iview or ivew dev in WebDynpro...
Also check this [link|regarding background color change in iview]

At the start of your program add:
UIManager.put("ComboBox.disabledBackground", Color.green);
UIManager.put("ComboBox.disabledForeground", Color.blue);For a list of all the properties you can change with the UIManager see:

Set property for background color for JButton

I am attempting to change the colors of the UI for JButton. The change does not appear to be taking. The reason appears to be that JButton, and for that matter JLabel setOpaque(false); How can I globally change this to setOpaque(true);
Second is there a way to save the default property hash table after the changes are made so that it will run the next time the program is executed.

Thank you for responding. I don't feel that I have been clear in the statement of the problem. I have written a medium size desktop application(20,000 statements). I am trying to customize the color scheme by modifying the default laf properties color entries. I can modify JPanel through a put to the properties hash table. When I attempt to change the background color for JLabel and JButton it doesn't seem to take. I believe that the reason it doesn't take is because opaque(false). Is there a property that allows the overide of opaque to true or do I have to change all of the numerous JButtons in my program.
I have decided to store all changes in a file and make the changes at the point that the program initializes each time its run.
I am not looking for specific code but an approach.
I would appreciate your advice.

Unable to set background colour JTableHeader in Java 1.6_18

We're moving our application from Java 1.4.2 to 1.6_18, so far without major problems but there's some small issues with the GUI. Originally we'd change the background colour of the JTableHeader, but in 1.6_18 that doesn't seem to work. Instead of colouring the complete header it just seems to draw an outline. It kind of gives the impression that there's something on top of the table header which hides the coloured background.
The code below shows what I'm trying to do, and gives different results when compiled in Java 1.4.2 and Java 1.6_18. It makes no difference whether I'm using the UIManager or setting the background directly on the JTableHeader.
The application still works fine of course, but it bugs me that I can't work out what the problem is, so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated! I've already had a look at bug [6521138|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6521138], but it makes no difference whether a new JTableHeader is set, so I think it's different. Also, the workaround for bug [4776303|http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=4776303] has no effect so I think that doesn't apply either.

            // UIManager.put("TableHeader.background", Color.GREEN);

        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    private static JPanel createPanel() {
        final JPanel panel = new JPanel();
        final DefaultTableModel model = new DefaultTableModel(3, 2);
        final JTable table = new JTable(model);
        // Tableheaders.
        final TableColumnModel columnModel = table.getColumnModel();
        columnModel.getColumn(0).setHeaderValue("First");
        columnModel.getColumn(1).setHeaderValue("Second");
        // Doesn't give the expected result in Java 1.6_18, the background remains white-ish with only a coloured border.
        table.getTableHeader().setBackground(Color.GREEN);
        table.getTableHeader().setForeground(Color.BLUE);
        final JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(table);
        panel.add(scrollPane);
        scrollPane.setSize(400, 100);
        panel.setSize(500, 500);
        panel.setPreferredSize(panel.getSize());
        return panel;

Ah yes, when I change that setting the background of the table header indeed gets the expected background colour. Unfortunately it also makes my desktop look hopelessly outdated :-( And I can't really expect my end-customers to change their settings just to run my little application. Still, I suppose this proves that the problem lies in the L&F?Seconded Jeanette's sentiment, this is definitely a feature, not a problem. You want system LaF, you get System LaF, with all the bells and whistles. If you're sure you don't want the system embellishments, you could consider using my [_default table header cell renderer_|http://tips4java.wordpress.com/2009/02/27/default-table-header-cell-renderer/].

Problem in setting background Image to TabedPane.

Hi Pals,
I created a JFrame which consist of some components. The structure of the added components are given below.
1) I added a JPanel (MainPanel) with background image in a JFrame.
2) I added a JTabbedPane with 7 tabs in the previous JPanel (MainPanel).
3) Each tabs in the JTabbedPane having JPanel with Background Image.
This is my Frame Structure. but i haven't problem to run in JDK1.6,1.5. It is working perfect. But when am run in lower version like 1.3 or 1.4. The design is looking bad. The JTabbedPane overlap the (MainPanel). The background image of the (MainPanel) was hided. I set setOpaque(false) for the JTabbedPane. But it also not working. How can i solve this problem.

Mohan
