Problem with jpanel and image

i have a jinternalframe with gridbaglayout which has several jpanels. one of the jpanels has to display an image.
i have searched through the forum and i have made a method to draw the image,
but the problem is that when i added to the jpanel the last (jpanel) gets much bigger and as a result to break down the layout.
any help is appreciated!

  • Problem with JPanel and JDesktopPane

    Hi,
    I am having a problem with my app and I wonder if someone can see what I am doing wrong. I have a class that extends JFrame that holds a centered JPanel to draw on. There are also 3-4 other JInternalFrames that are in use.
    From what I have read to use JDesktopPane to organize the JInternalFrames, all you do is add the JInternalFrames to the JDesktopPane and setContentPane to be the JdesktopPane:
            Jpanel panel = new JPanel();
            JDesktopPane dm = new JDesktopPane();
            setContentPane(dm);
            dm.add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
            dm.add(internalFrame1);
            dm.add(internalFrame2);
            dm.add(internalFrame3);But as soon as I add the panel to the JDesktopPane then my JPanel doesnt show up. As I had it before I was adding the panel to the content pane of the Jframe, and adding the JinternalFrames to the layeredPane like this:
            getContentPane().add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
            lp = getLayeredPane();
            lp.add(internalFrame1);
            lp.add(internalFrame2);
            lp.add(internalFrame3);and this worked but the JInternalFrames behaved badly, not getting focus or moving to the top frame when clicked, which I guess is what JDesktopPane is supposed to do. But how do I get my original JPanel in my JFrame to show up when added to the JDesktopPanel?
    Am I missing something here?
    Thanks,
    Paul

    Thanks for your response. I will try that when I get home, although I will be surprised if that works because I am already using setPreferredSize() . It seemed to me that once a Jframe's content pane gets assigned to a JDesktopPane, then the JPanel no longer has anywhere to draw itself, as according to the Sun documentation, you can only add a JInternalFrame to a JDesktopPane.
    So I am thinking its not possible to have a JPanel as the content pane of a JFrame while having a JDesktopPane containing my JInternalFrames. Is this indeed the case?
    Thanks,
    Paul

  • Problem with JPanel and/or Thread

    Hello all,
    I have the following problem.
    I have a JFrame containing to JPanels. The JPanels are placed
    via BorderLayout.
    JPanel #1 is for moving a little rectangle (setDoubleBufferd), it is
    a self defined object extending JPanel.
    The paint methon in JPanel #1 has been overwritten to do the drawings.
    JPanel #2 contains 4 JButtons, but they have no effect at the
    moment. It is an "original" JPanel.
    The class extending JFrame implemented the interface Runnable and
    is started in its own thread.
    After starting the programm everthing looks fine.
    But if I press a Button in the second JPanel this button is painted in
    the top left corner of my frame. It changes if I press another button.
    Any help would be appreciated.
    Thanks.
    Ralf

    I noticed you solved this by painting the whole JFrame.
    Yeh Form time to time I get this problem too......
    Especially if the screen has gone blank - by going and having a cup of tea etc -
    Text from one Panel would be drawn in another.. annoying
    At first it was because I changed the state of some Swing Components
    not from the Event Thread.
    So make sure that your new Thread doesn't just blithely call repaint() or such like cos that leads to problems
    but rather something like
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater( new Runnable()
       public void run()
          MyComponent.repaint();
    });However I still get this problem using JScrollPanes, and was able to fix it by using the slower backing store method for the JScrollPane
    I could not see from my code how something on one JPanel can get drawn on another JPanel but it was happening.
    Anyone who could totally enlighten me on this?

  • Problem with jpanel and revalidate()

    i have made a calendar. on click on jlabel you can switch month/year and there is the problem. for example when i switch from february to march and back again, then the panel don�t update. but why?

    I got you code to compile and run and made a single change to get it to work; adding a call to repaint at the end of the updatePanel method.
            this.add(days, BorderLayout.CENTER);
            this.revalidate();
            repaint();
        }Whenever you change the size of a containers components or add/remove components you must ask the container to run through its component hierarchy and check the size requirements of all its children and lay them out again, ie, do a new layout. The JComponent method for this isrevalidate. If you are working in the AWT you must use the Component/(overridden in)Container method validate, sometimes preceded by a call to the invalidate method. Some people prefer the validate method over revalidate. These are methods used to update guis by asking for a renewed layout. For economy you can call one (sometimes with invalidate, but rarely) of these methods on the smallest component/container that includes all the containers needing the renewed layout, ie, keep the action as localized as possible.
    When the rendering of components has changed, things like colors, borders and text, we need to ask the components to repaint themselves. The easy way to do this is to call repaint on the gui. For economy you can call repaint on the smallest component that contains all the components needing repainting. Some classes like those in the JTextComponent group have their own internal repainting calls so they will repaint themselves when changes are made.
    In making guis, especially elaborate ones, it seems to take some playful experimentation to find out what is needed to get what you want. Sometimes it is a call to revalidate, sometimes a call to repaint, sometimes both. You just have to experiment.

  • Problems with distribution and images

    (I have posted this thread on the new to java forum as well).
    the problem is that when i try to distribute my application on other peoples computers i cannot get the images to show up. i use netbeans and you use a browser to select the image file from somewher in your computers directory. the problem is that when i try to run it on other peoples computers they don't have the image files. does any one know how i can make it so that the image files are part of my application. could i put the image files in one of the folder in my application and then use the browser to select them. but even if i do that surely they are still under my c drive because it woudl be c:user\netbeans\netbeansproject\app(awhatever)\folder\imagefile; either way they would not have my c directroy or netbeans to get to the image file.
    does any one know what i should do.

  • Problem with JPanel and JScrollBar

    I am having a few problems displaying a progress bar, it is called by the program when needed. The problem is the JFrame appears but no panel seems to be added to it and what app is in the background can be seen through it.
    The frame, panel and progressbar are all declared as global variables at the start of the program.
    I have tried using pack() and repaint() but not had any luck and not really sure how to proceed.

  • Problems with MemoryImageSource and createImage

    Hi!
    As my headline says it, I have a problem with MemoryImageSource and createImage. Whenever I create an image from a memory buffer I get an image that has the wrong dimensions: the width and height are swapped, but the image seems to be all right. I tried to create the image ov top of a JPanel using the Container methods. Any suggestions as of how to solve this problem would be greatly appreciated.

  • Problem with JFrame and busy/wait Cursor

    Hi -- I'm trying to set a JFrame's cursor to be the busy cursor,
    for the duration of some operation (usually just a few seconds).
    I can get it to work in some situations, but not others.
    Timing does seem to be an issue.
    There are thousands of posts on the BugParade, but
    in general Sun indicates this is not a bug. I just need
    a work-around.
    I've written a test program below to demonstrate the problem.
    I have the problem on Solaris, running with both J2SE 1.3 and 1.4.
    I have not tested on Windows yet.
    When you run the following code, three JFrames will be opened,
    each with the same 5 buttons. The first "F1" listens to its own
    buttons, and works fine. The other two (F2 and F3) listen
    to each other's buttons.
    The "BUSY" button simply sets the cursor on its listener
    to the busy cursor. The "DONE" button sets it to the
    default cursor. These work fine.
    The "SLEEP" button sets the cursor, sleeps for 3 seconds,
    and sets it back. This does not work.
    The "INVOKE LATER" button does the same thing,
    except is uses invokeLater to sleep and set the
    cursor back. This also does not work.
    The "DELAY" button sleeps for 3 seconds (giving you
    time to move the mouse into the other (listerner's)
    window, and then it behaves just like the "SLEEP"
    button. This works.
    Any ideas would be appreciated, thanks.

    BusyFrameTest f3 = new BusyFrameTest ("F3");
    f2.addListeners (f3); // 2 listens to 3
    f3.addListeners (f2); // 3 listens to 2

    I've had the same problems with cursors and repaints in a swing application, and I was thinking of if I could use invokeLater, but I never got that far with it.
    I still believe you would need a thread for the time consuming task, and that invokeLater is something you only need to use in a thread different from the event thread.

  • Problem with installing and running some applications or drivers

    When installing and installing some items, towards the end of the installation I get this message:
    /System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext
    *was installed improperly and cannot be used. Please try reinstalling it or contact product's vendor for update*
    The end result is that some things do not seem to work properly, such as my HP printer. Would anybody have any ideas on how to fix this problem?

    Thank you for your response. Originally, I had a problem with Airport and ended up reinstalling Snow Leopard. Since then, when downloading upgrades etc, such as HP printer drivers, iTunes etc., towards the end of the download when its running the script, I get this message: /System/Library/Extensions/comcy_driver_USBDevice.kext

    Sometimes, the download hangs and is unable to complete. The main problem I've encountered so far with an application is when I use the printer to scan an image via Preview, it's blank: there's nothing there.

  • Problem with Preview and PSD files - random gray square

    Hi guys, hope you can help...
    I've got a problem with Preview and PSD files.
    If I open in Preview both an original jpg straight from my reflex and the photoshop version of the same picture, the psd file presents a gray square (of what it seems unrendered image) in a random area of the photo (sometimes in the center.). The square is quite big...
    If I zoom in or zoom out it disappears...if I scroll to another photo and then back to the psd, the square it's there again...sometimes in a different position.
    I've tried the same psd on my older iMac with leopard...and got no problem at all.
    I suspect it got something to do with my Ati...
    (this is the second iMac 27...the first went back for gray banding on the lcd screen and flickering and yellow tinge........)
    Thanks for your help.
    DAve.

    maybe I'm onto something...
    I've just found out that opening Preview in 32bit mode (instead of default 64bit) works flawlessly with any psd files. If I switch back to 64bit mode, Preview is much faster but the gray square comes back...
    It seems like the i7 is much faster than the Ati....
    Any more realistic ideas?

  • Problem with Facetime and my MacBookPro camera

    Hello,
    I've got a MacBookPro and I have a problem with Facetime and my front camera.
    When I have a discussion with an iMac or an other MacBook the image received by the other person becomes fix.
    To unfix it I have to put my finger on my camera and then everything is good until the next time, 4 to 10 seconds later I've got the problem again.
    Perhaps somebody can help me.
    My head on my screen is always good even when the bug appear on my correspondent's screen.
    For information, the 2 mac have the same iOS version (OSX Lion) and Facetime version.

    Hi Dave,
    Edit: Well, I guess I was lost when I posted this. My answer was regarding a problem with OS X, not iOS. I'm going to leave the answer here in case someone else with a Facetime for Mac issue can benefit, because when you're searching for "Facetime AND Login", you could land in any discussion area. -Jerry
    Keychain Access.app is in your Utilities folder in your Applications folder.
    The path will be: Macintosh HD > Applications > Utilities > Keychain Access.app.
    Keychain is where all your passwords are stored for those applications that you don't want to have to manually log into all the time.
    It's a handy app to become familiar with, for instance if you want to look up a password or user name from the past.
    Hope this helps you.

  • Problem with writing and reading using serialization

    I am having a problem with writing and reading an object that has another object in it. The purpose of the class is to write a order that has multiple items in it. And there will be several orders. This is for an IB project, where one of the requirements is to utilize a hierarchical composite data structure. That is, it is "one that contains more than one element and at least one of the elements is a composite data structure. Examples are, an array or linked list of records, a record that has one field that is another record, or an array". The code is shown below:

  • Problem with filePathSeperator and /

    Problem with fileSeperatorChar and /. When I use fileSeperatorChar (to lacate a folder), the path is specified wrong. I want my program to run on different OS, so I need this to work.
    If I do this:
    JLabel label = new JLabel("", new ImageIcon("Images/label.gif");
    //or something like that it works. Will this give me multiple platform support?
    But when I try:
    JLabel label = new JLabel("", new ImageIcon("Images" + filePathSeperatorChar + "label.gif");
    //or something like that They all compile, but I took this off the top of my head. Anyway, when I print out the path for the second technuige, the path reads like this:
    Images;label.gif

    You used filePathSeparator. On Windows you use a semicolon to separate the components of a path, which is a list of directories or jar files, which is why you are getting a semicolon. You want the system property "file.separator" instead. Or use the variable File.separatorChar.
