Professional Swing Help
Hi,
I have developed a Swing-based GUI and although the tool works functionally, I am looking for some improvements in the actual GUI components' layout - basically I want to have some beautification done on the existing GUI. I think this kind of do-it-pretty task can be handled very easily by a Swing expert and so I was checking if anybody is available professionally to take on this task and make this happen? Let me know if there is anyone interested in this and we can go from there.
Thanks

Is there some sort of class or something that can allow me to make an expander in swing? Im not really sure the technical name for it so i have done a little example of what i mean below.
+great
+really good
when great is pressed it expands to:
-great
brilliant
+really good
Any help would be much appreciated.

Displaying 4 Text Areas in Swing.Help required.
Folks
I need to define 4 Text Areas in Swing in the following pattern:
1 -- 2
3 -- 4
where 1,2 3 and 4 are TextAreas,
As of now I can get 2 text Areas :1 and 3 only by the following code:
public class 4TextAreas extends JFrame
private Container c;
Box b = Box.createVerticalBox();
msgTextArea = new JTextArea(10,15);
b.add(new JScrollPane(msgTextArea));
msgTextArea_2 = new JTextArea(10,15);
b.add(new JScrollPane(msgTextArea_2));
c = getContentPane();
c.add(b);
setSize(250,250);
this.show();
Please can any one help as to how to get TextArea 2 and 4 please.
Do I need to crate another Box object called b1?
Please reply.You could try creating two vertical boxes, adding two textareas to each and then add the vertical boxes to a horizontal box. ( or two horizontals to a vertical, of course).
Also you could try a different layout manager such as a gridlayout or gridbaglayout.
Cheers

Displaying a matrix in swing----HELP!! :)
Hello I want to print out values from a matrix in some sort of table.
javax.swing.JTable is almost what I want, but you can't do row labels (only column labels, I think)--
Are there any classes like JTable, but a little more like an Excel spreadsheet where you have labels on the columns and rows???
Or any other suggestions for displaying matrix values with swing would be helpful!!
THANKS!!!!.

Hey gang, I am relatively new to Java world, and especially to swing and thread. I am trying to build an application with a main dashboard, where the users can click on a button and parse a text file. However, if there were an error in the file, I would like to stop paring the file, but not exit the application once there is an error. I don?t know quite how to stop the process without using System.exit(0); When I use System.exit(0); needless to say my main dashboard exits also, which I want to avoid.
I was told to use threads by my friends, but I trying reading up on SwingWorker class found on the website to help with threads (at least I think so). I am still very lost. If there is any more clarification needed, please let me knowYour problem has nothing to do with threads. As "kulkarni_ash" wrote, you need to surround code which crashes with try{ }catch(Throwable t}{...}. Most runtime problems are reported by throwing an exception, which is understood as "abrubtly abort code execution and gracefully return to closest enclosing catch". There is many exceptions classes, each tided to specific kind of error. Throwable is most general one, and you should not use it usually.
Threads, on other hand are used only, if you expect to have a lot of work to be done and like to have it done "in background" what leaves user interface alive. Example is printing - without thread user interface will freez until last page is printed - with printing thread user may click cancel to abort printing. -
i'm writing a program that write the byte representation of numbers and outputs them to a joptionpane window
it keeps telling me that void functions are not allowed
is there any way that i can use void functions in my output? or would i need to change to a method that returns a value?
here is my code, please help me, it will be greatly appreciated :)

Hi, I have just learn java swing and now creating a chess game. I have sucessfully create a board and able to display chess pieces on the board. By using JLayeredPane, I am able to use drag and drop for the piece. However, there is a problem which is that I can drop the chess piece off the board and the piece would disappear. I have try to solve this problem by trying to find the location that the chess piece is on, store it somewhere and check if the chess piece have been drop off bound. However, I could not manage to solve it. Also, I am very confuse with all these layer thing.
Any suggestion would be very helpful. Thanks in advance

Hi, I am currently using a program called JPadPro for my java source codes. I am just beginning to learn java and I have just started on Java Swing GUI codings. My problem is that the program compiles, but it doesn't run. It always give me an error saying
"Cannot find main method, Program will exit". there is nothing wrong with my source code because I can run somewhere else. I think I didn't configure my Jpadpro correctly. (but anything without GUI does work)
Thank You for your help :)Even though you are running a swing application, you still need a main method just as in non-GUI applications. The main should create an instance of the JFrame at the base of you swing app. A simple example is as follows:
public class mySwingApp extends JFrame {
public mySwingApp(String title) {
super(title);
// GUI components, layouts, possible listeners here
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame mainFrame = new mySwingApp("My first swing app");
mainFrame.setSize(200, 200);
mainFrame.setVisible(true);
}Hope this helps some!

I'm having a lot of troble with a java project i am doing for school. We have to make this word matching type game, and I'm unable to get the icons to repaint correctly. More specifically they will not show up on load, but if i resize the window they display correctly, they will also not refresh when the state of the game changes. I've pasted all the code that relates to drawing bellow, any help would be very apreciated. Thank you.

Well, I would start by reading the Swing tutorial on [url http://java.sun.com/docs/books/tutorial/uiswing/misc/icon.html]How to Use Icons. The easiest way is to just add the icon to a JLabel.
You code is full of overrides. There should be no need to override methods like "update, paint, repaint" of your main JFrame. Even the panels you use override the paint method. Although I strongly doubt you need to override the paint() method, the correct way to override the painting is by overriding the paintComponent(..) method.
I would suggest you don't need any of your override logic. Instead you just replace the icon of each JLabel by using setIcon. -
hello,
I am creating one GUI project using swing using netbeans 4.1 in windows environment. It works fine and display the GUI correctly.

Hi to all i am new to swings concept my problem is
I taken 8 subjects with 100 marks and 5 labs with 75 marks in my application.
Know my problem is when i am calculating subjects and labs i am not getting average .
And but when i am calculate total divided by 13 i am getting average.
For example : 8 subjects total is 560.
5 labs total is 250.
average = total/13
i am getting average.
But i want average like this i.e average = total /1175;
i am taken total = subjects + labs;
help me regarding this topic
Thanks in advanceHello
u r did "average = total/13; " this avg is not correct one .....
bcos 8 subj is respect to 100 and remaining is respect to 75 .
avg = (getting total marks / totalmarks)*100
this is the correct way to calculate avg
i am taken total = subjects + labs;
all the best
regards

If you chose to reformat the computer without doing a backup, well, that's just dumb. -
