Thumbnail view of tabs in JTabbedPane

Hi all,
I am doing a desktop app . In my app i am using JTabbedPane . In order to view the contents of all tabs in one shot,i need to bring the JPanel in each tab into a single frame,that contains a scrollbar.i.e,something like a thumbnail view of all the tabs.Is it possible to do so? Since i have several components like button, textbox,images,etc in each tab,and have set the layout property of the panel to null,i cannot reduce the size of the panel to thumbnail size.I have set layout property of jpanel in each tab to null,because i have enabled dragging of objects like buttons,textarea,images,etc.Can anyone help me to sort out this problem.
Thanks in advance

How to know if a scrollbar is been drawn if the JScrollPane is not visible.

I have a JTabbedPane with one JPanel in each tab. Each of these panels contains one JLabel with a JTextBox on the top and under it the rest is filled with a JScrollPane containing a JTable. I am using a GridBagLayout.
Now, the requirement is that the JTextBox must have the same length as the content of the JScrollPane; it means that if the JScrollPane has a vertical scroll, the JText has to be shorter on the right side by whatever the scroll width is, but if there's no vertical scroll then the JTextBox must be extended to the top of the right side.
Now, this that looks so simple is becoming a nightmare...
The main problem here is that this check to look if the JScrollPane has a scroll or not is done in tabs that are not visible, so i cannot use just a simple isVerticalScrollVisible() because the answer is always NO. I have been trying to catch all the events i could think may help but no luck and sometimes a refresh in one of the tabs produces the JTextField in another tab gets a wrong width.
One posible approach is the length of the total rows of the JTable, multiply it by the row height and compare it with... with what because the scroll is not visible and the heigh is 0.
Any ideas? Any one knows how can i know if the the silly scrollbar is visible or not in a non visible tab?
Thanks in advance.

Ctrl PgUp / CtrlPgDown in JTables vs JTabbedPanes

Hi there, another wee JTable problem.
I want Ctrl PageUp and Ctrl PageDown to move between JTabbedPanes. This normally works, except when the focus is currently in a JTable. I want it to also work if the focus is in a JTable.
I have tried to stop the JTable from handling the keys by setting the inputmap to "none" but this has no effect (you can see my code for this below).

Jscrollpane without scrollbar

adf bc swing appilcation, jdeveloper 10.1.3
this is my form structure
this (gridbag layout)
jscrollpane(default layout)
jpane (null layout)
jpane2
jtabbedpane
jscrollpane size < jpane size
why the scroll bar of the jscrollpane doesn't appear ??

Hi,
it only appears if there are components that are placed outside of the viewport. Add a table and if this is big enough it will cause the scrollbar to show.
You can however set the vertical scrollbar property to always show the scroll bar. By default it only shows it when needed

JScrollPane for pane and JTabbedPane and Graphics

Sort of have two topics with same problem.
I have a set of Panels. I get a stream of jpegs which I have to decode to the fly.
There are seperate video feeds in the stream and I have to read jpeg data to see which image goes where.
I was trying to see if I could have a larger image in smaller area. this is why I tried to draw to panel inside a scrollpane.
One: I tried to put a JPanel into JScrollPane and tried to draw an image to panel with Graphics g. No Scrollability and even when scroll bars are made to stay on permanently, they get overwritten.
g=panel.getGraphics();
if(isVisible()) g.drawImage(image,0,0,320,240,Color.BLUE,null);
two: When putting the pane with the drawn images into toplevel pane into JtabbedPane. I can turn off the drawing of images with a check to isVisible(). When they are not in top level pane isVisible() does not work and the images get drawn over the other tabbed panes.
BTW everything is swing. JPanel,JScrollPane,JTabbedPane.

No Scrollability and even when scroll bars are made to stay on permanently,First of all the scrollbars will only appear when the preferred size of the panel is greater than the size of the scrollpane.
A think a better design for updating the image is to extend JPanel and create a setImage method. The set image method would set the preferred size of the panel and then invoke repaint() on the panel. You would then also need to override the paintComponent(..) method to do the actual drawing of the image. Then when the image changes you just use the new setImage(..) method.

Drag JTabbedPane out of the main Frame and set scroll bars for the tabs

hi ,
Iam working on a Swing application . In it i have Six Tabs added to a single JTabbedPane. all the tabs are different class files . is it possible to drag any of the tabs out of the frame.
how to add scroll bars for the tabs individually. i have tried adding JScrollPane to the main frame and add the JTabbedPane to the Scrollpane . the scroll bar was not visible and i have tried adding
all the six tabs to the individual JScrollPanes and add the six scrollpanes to the TabbedPane .
only the scroll arrows are visible , when i minimised or resized the application the scrollbars were not appearing .
could any one help me to solve the above two problems.

just trying.....
public void mouseDragged(MouseMotionEvent e){
// this event should be activated only when the Drag goes out of scope of the parent JFrame which i dont know how
Component c=JTab.getComponentAt(JTab.getSelectedIndex());
JFrameobj.getContentPane().add(c,"Center");
}

Why the vertical scrollbar bar is automatically scrolled to the bottom pos.

I created a JScrollpane to contain a JTabbedPane. The JTabbedPane has two JPanel and each of them has a number of GUI components such as JCheckbox and JTextField. They have different size because their GUI components are different. The 2nd panel is about twice the size of the first panel.
When the JScrollpane is shown, its vertical scroll bar is automatically scrolled to the bottom position. However, it is the first panel that is initially visible to the user. So, the user will see no GUI components of the first panel because the auto scrolling of the vertical scroll bar.
Can anyone tell me how to disable the auto scrolling?
I just want to let the scrollbar knob stay at the top so that the GUI components of the first panel (the smaller one) can be seen initially!

Works fine for me:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
public class TabbedPaneScroll extends JFrame
     private JTabbedPane tabbedPane;
     public TabbedPaneScroll()
          tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
          tabbedPane.setPreferredSize( new Dimension(300, 200) );
          getContentPane().add(tabbedPane);
          addNewTab( 10 );
          addNewTab( 5 );
          addNewTab( 20 );
     private void addNewTab(int fields)
          JPanel panel = new JPanel();
          panel.setLayout( new GridLayout(0, 1) );
          for (int i = 0; i < fields; i++)
               panel.add( new JTextField("" + i) );
          JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane( panel );
          tabbedPane.add(scrollPane, "" + fields);
     public static void main(String args[])
          TabbedPaneScroll frame = new TabbedPaneScroll();
          frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
          frame.pack();
          frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
          frame.setVisible(true);
}If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://www.physci.org/codes/sscce.jsp]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.

Multiple JTabbedPane focussing

I have a Swing GUI (applet) that has 2 JTabbedPanes side-by-side. The tabbed panes can contain JPanels that have many different types of components (JTable, JButtons, etc. ) on them.
Depending on which tabbed pane has focus, other components have to be enabled/disabled. This is easily accomplished by registering the appropriate listeners with the tabbed panes themselves and clicking on the tab when I want to change focus.
However, with focus currently on the left tabbed pane, I want to be able to just click within a JPanel on the right tabbed pane and have focus change. Since my JPanels contain many components, this involves addiing a MouseListener to every visible component. This can be quite cumbersome since a listener must be added to a table header as well as to the table and to the vertical and horizontal scrollbars as well as to the scrollpane.
Does anyone know a better way to do this?
I was hoping to utilize something like the glasspane, but that's only available from the applet level or JDialogs.
Thanks.

I may have used the term "focus" when I should have said something like "active."
And in my attempt to simplify the question I may have described the workings of my GUI inaccurately, too.
My GUI can "open" many different types of "documents." These documents (which basically consist of JPanels that contain many different types of components) open as tabs in a JTabbedPane. Similar to many IDEs nowadays, this group of tabs can be split into a second tab group (JTabbedPane) to view 2 docs at once. Open documents can be moved between these 2 groups.
To be more user friendly, I make sure the currently active tab title (there can be only one) is rendered uniquely.
Depending on which type of document is currently active (or in focus), toolbar buttons, menu actions and the such are enabled/disabled.
I need notification when a user is selecting the other tab group so it can be made active. As I said previously, this is quite easy if the user just clicks on the tab itself, but if the user clicks within the already open document it seems I need a mouse listener on every component. I tried focus listeners, at one time, but they only work when components are enabled, and some of the components I use could be disabled.
It seems that there is no shortcut, and listeners have to be added to every component in a document. I was hoping someone would know a technique similar to a glass pane where I could just add one listener and then pass on the event when I handled it.

JTabbedPane display problems

Can someone help me with this? I have a JTabbedPane in an applet with two tabs. Lately I have noticed that when I move the mouse pointer around on one tab, some components from the other tab start to show through and I can even click on them, resulting in other components showing through and a jumbled mess. Can anyone help me?
Here is how I set up the layout in the init method:
jPanelUI = new MyUIPanel();
getContentPane().setLayout(new GridLayout(1,1,0,0));
jPanelUI.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,1,0,0));
// add look & feel panel to content pane
getContentPane().add(jPanelUI);
// add main panel to look & feel panel
jPanelUI.add(administrationPanel);
Here is MyUIPanel:
public class MyUIPanel extends javax.swing.JPanel implements my.data.MyConstants
     public MyUIPanel()
     super();
     UIManager.put("TabbedPane.selected", CONTROL);
     UIManager.put("TableHeader.background", CONTROL);
     UIManager.put("ScrollBar.arrowColor", Color.green);
     UIManager.put("ScrollPane.background", CONTROL);
     UIManager.put("ScrollPane.foreground", CONTROL);
I add the JTabbedPane to Administration panel like this...
jTabbedPaneAdministration.setRequestFocusEnabled(false);
jTabbedPaneAdministration.setOpaque(true);
add(jTabbedPaneAdministration, new com.symantec.itools.awt.GridBagConstraintsD(0,2,6,10,0.5,0.5,java.awt.GridBagConstraints.WEST,java.awt.GridBagConstraints.BOTH,new Insets(15,20,20,20),0,0));
jTabbedPaneAdministration.setBackground(new java.awt.Color(204,204,153));
jTabbedPaneAdministration.setFont(new Font("Dialog", Font.PLAIN, 12));
I add my two panels to administration panel like this...
jTabbedPaneAdministration.add(jPanel1);
jTabbedPaneAdministration.add(jPanel2);
Any ideas?
Thanks a bunch

Found the problem. On the invisible tab, I was setting visibilities, depending on what components the user had permission to see. I assumed that those visibilities would only take effect on the tab that they were on, but instead they showed right through the selected tab. So it wasnt the resizing but your idea made me look to what I was doing with those panels after adding them, and I found it. Enjoy your duke $s
Thanks

Scrollbar for a frame

hi all,
iam doing a project in swing . in it there are 6 tabs, is it possible to add a scrollbar for the tabs . i have tried this by adding the tabbed pane to the scrollpane but the scroll bars are not visible.
could u pls tell me how to add a scroll bar for the tabs.

have you tried:
JFrame f = new JFrame();

All JComponents in the JTabbedPane got shrink when I click for a particular

When I click a particular tab in a JTabbedPane, all the JComponents (like JTextboxes, JListbox ) are getting shrink. Because of this I am not able to enter or choose any data for these JComponents.
Moreover the problem is seen only when the window is in a default size. If I restore the window size from the default to the maximum the problem goes away (I.e I am able to see and enter the data�s for JComponents).
Also this is happening only with windows platform (Windows XP), I checked in Solaris platform with the same code and it works fine (with default window size).
While testing the code, I found one difference. When I use Solaris I am able to see the scrollbar on a window, whereas the scroll bar in WindowsXp is not appeared.
Can you please clarify me why the JComponents are getting shrink? And also why it is happening only on WindowsXP?

Can you please clarify me why the JComponents are getting shrink?You have a program bug.
If you need further help then you need to create a [url http://homepage1.nifty.com/algafield/sscce.html]Short, Self Contained, Compilable and Executable, Example Program that demonstrates the incorrect behaviour, because I can't guess exactly what you are doing based on the information provided.
And don't forget to use the [url http://forum.java.sun.com/help.jspa?sec=formatting]Code Formatting Tags so the code retains its original formatting.

JTabbedPane/JSplitPane/JScrollPane problem

Hi
I'm making a simple webbrowser with the JDesktop (jdic) parser (using your standard browser as parser)...
The problem I have :
I have a "JTabbedPane" containing a "JSpitPane". This JSplitPane contains a "JCombobox" (as URL field) and a "JScrollPane".
The "JScrollPane" contains the jdic WebBrowser...
When I resize the JFrame of my application bigger, everything will resize okay. When I'm making my JFrame smaller, the JScrollPane doesn't resize correctly , so the scrollbars are gone !
I tried already a lot of things like putting the jdic WebBrowser directly in the JSplitPane, using a JPanel instead of the JSplitPane, ...
It only works correctly if I add the jdic Webbrowser directly to the JTabbedPane...
I know it's difficult to understand but I hope somebody can help me !
If you know another solution to add a JCombobox and a jdic Webbrowser together, let me know !"
Thx in advance!

Hi,
The JPanels which you have inside each tab of the JTabbedPanes should have BorderLayout and the JScrollPanes which hold the JTables should be added with the BorderLayout.CENTER constraint. This will make sure that the JScrollPanes that contain the JTables occupy as much space as possible.
Hope this helps,
Ranga.

How to enable a scrollbar in a JPanel

Hi
I am adding some components in a JPanel and I am adding the JPanel to a JScrollPane.The JScrollPane is finally added to the container.Now I could manage to get only the scrollbars added but it does not work!How should I use the scrollbars to view all the components that are added inside the JPanel.
Here is my source code:
tagPanel = new JPanel();
tagPanel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
tagPanel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100,100));
tagPanel.setBackground(Color.white);
tagPanel.setAutoscrolls(true);
for(int i = 0; i<=20; i++)
tempButton = new JButton("Testing");
tagPanel.add(tempButton);
container.add(forbiddenscroll= new JScrollPane
(tagPanel),BorderLayout.WEST);
forbiddenscroll.setHorizontalScrollBarPolicy
(ScrollPaneConstants.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
forbiddenscroll.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy
(ScrollPaneConstants.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
Thank you for your reply!
Your help is very much appreciated.
