How to read Text Field value from another file through a Dialog? - java

I have two files in my package: GUI.java and Dialog.java
The GUI has two Text Fields and a Button. When I press that Button, the Dialog becomes visible. The Dialog has another button which saves the Text Fields' values to an .ini file. And here comes the problem, it doesn't save the updated values, but the ones that were there when the program first started.
After some searches on Google I found out that I need to use something called "Action Listener", but I just can't seem to get it right at all.

Dialog should not be creating a new instance of GUI, there is no relationship between the instance which is been displayed on the screen and that which Dialog is using.
Instead, GUI should pass a reference of itself to Dialog
public class Dialog extends javax.swing.JDialog {
private GUI gui;
public Dialog(GUI parent) {
super(parent, true);
this.gui = gui;
initComponents();
}

This is pretty basic Java and something you should be familiar with before embarking on something as complicated as GUI development. See Passing Information to a Method or a Constructor for more details
And your GUI class might look something like...
public class GUI extends javax.swing.JFrame {
public GUI() {

}

textField2.setText("2");
openDialog.setText("Open Dialog");
openDialog.addActionListener(new java.awt.event.ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
openDialogActionPerformed(evt);
}

public static void main(String args[]) {

// Also, don't ignore the exception, you should probably
// rethrow it...
}
private javax.swing.JButton openDialog;
private javax.swing.JTextField textField1;
private javax.swing.JTextField textField2;
}
Although, I'd argue that, if you want GUI to save the data, it should be inspecting the result from the dialog, rather the exposing itself to possible mis-treatment (removeAll anyone?). In that case, I'd consider using a JOptionPane instead
See How to Make Dialogs for more details.
Also, the sooner you ditch the form editor, the better you will become
I will look forward and see if I can manage to make it work through JOptionPane
private void openDialogActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
int response = JOptionPane.showOptionDialog(this, "Do you wish to save", "Save", JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION, JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, null, null, null);
if (response == JOptionPane.YES_OPTION) {
save(1);
}
}

JFrame freezes without reason outside of IDE

I have a Java application program that when I run it with my IDE (Netbeans) works fine. The application is a simple JFrame with a JScrollPane, JTextArea (as logger) and JButton to perform the main function. The problem is, when I "clean and build" the project and execute it outside from IDE, It freezes itself without reason when I click on the JButton. The JScrollPane change to indertemine mode when the programs runs, but it freezes in the middle!. I tried to execute with the console to see some Exception, but nothing happens.

JInternalFrame Opening and Focus

I've got a couple JInternalFrames inside a DesktopPane, and I've noticed something with the first time they open.
When I first open one, and then open a second one, the first JInternalFrame will be on top of the second. I want them to open on top of each other, but this only happens the first time. I realize now that it is because of the order that they are added. But my program will be retrieving information right at the desktoppane load so I need the JIF variables to be added before the windows are actually opened. So how can I make sure the window that is opened comes out on top regardless of the order they are added?
I would prefer not to use a dialogbox.
Try this code...
I've create a sample application for you to understand...
public class NewJFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame {
private javax.swing.JButton jButton1;
private javax.swing.JDesktopPane jDesktopPane1;
//This is a Internal Frame I have created
private PaymentInternalFrame payIF;

}

jButton1 = new javax.swing.JButton();
jDesktopPane1 = new javax.swing.JDesktopPane();
setDefaultCloseOperation(javax.swing.WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
jButton1.setText("Click");

Changing the size of a jFrame on button click

I'm creating a "Presentation" on a jFrame as part of a project and need some help.
I have it starting as a 200, 200 size frame with a button in the middle that says "Let's Start"
then when you click on it, the size of the frame changes. When I click on the button you have to drag the window to make it the already defined size seen as the window stays the original 200 by 200 it doesn't open the window to 1335 by 675.
Here's my code.
package randomGUIs;
import java.awt.Color;

startPanel.setBackground(Color.blue);

I've tried using startPanel.repaint(); with no luck.
Simply set the frame size with this function.
In order to use this function you must include the relevant package.
import java.awt.Dimension;
...
setSize(new Dimension(1320,220));
Your JFrame won't automagically resize itself unless you tell it to. Something like this:
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
startPanel.setSize(new Dimension(1335, 675));
startPanel.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(1335, 675));
startPanel.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(1335, 675));
frame.setSize(1335, 675);
jButton1.setVisible(false);
}
You could also use the pack() function of the JFrame class, depending on what you wanted to do.

Close an Opened JInternalFrame that is been opened within another JInternalFrame while changing the tab of a JTabbedPane

I've created and application in which there are two tabs titled Tabbedpane 1 and Tabbedpane 2. In one tab body Tabbedpane 1 contains a JInternalFrame in which there is a search button. On clicking the button another JInternalFrame opens within the main JInternalFrame.
Can anyone please tell me how to close the said opened JInternalFrame ie the search JInternalFrame while clicking on to the second tab titled Tabbedpane 2
I've tried .setClosed(true) and .setVisible(true) on property change still it does'nt works for me.
Use a ChangeListener which will get notified when JTabbedPane state changes (i.e tabs switched):
final JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
tabbedPane.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
//tab has been changed
}
});
The problem is we will need a way to monitor the previous tab i.e the tab we were on before it was changed this can be done via:
tabbedPane.addChangeListener(new ChangeListener() {
int prev_index = 0;
int curr_index = 0;
public void stateChanged(ChangeEvent e) {
prev_index = curr_index;
curr_index = tabbedPane.getSelectedIndex();
System.out.println("Tab (Current): " + curr_index);
System.out.println("Tab (Previous): " + prev_index);
}
});
UPDATE 1:
To close JInternalFrame I'd suggest calling dispose() on its instance
UPDATE 2:
Here is your fixed code, basically added a getter for Search class, thus JIFrame1 has a getSearch() method which allows us to gaim access to the Search classes current instance created in JIFrame1, in changedState(..) I call jiFrame1.getSearch().dispose() which will make sure we dispose of the instance that has already been created:
import java.awt.Container;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import java.util.logging.Level;
import java.util.logging.Logger;
public class Sample extends javax.swing.JFrame {
JIFrame1 jiframe1 = new JIFrame1();
public Sample() {
initComponents();
Container jiframe1cont = tab1;
for (MouseListener listener : ((javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicInternalFrameUI) jiframe1.getUI()).getNorthPane().getMouseListeners()) {
((javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicInternalFrameUI) jiframe1.getUI()).getNorthPane().removeMouseListener(listener);
}
jiframe1.setLocation(10, 10);
jiframe1cont.add(jiframe1);
jiframe1.setVisible(true);
JIFrame2 jiframe2 = new JIFrame2();
Container jiframe2cont = tab2;
for (MouseListener listener : ((javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicInternalFrameUI) jiframe2.getUI()).getNorthPane().getMouseListeners()) {
((javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicInternalFrameUI) jiframe2.getUI()).getNorthPane().removeMouseListener(listener);

jiframe2.setVisible(true);

UPDATE 3:
The reason for NPE is here:
private void tabbedPaneStateChanged(javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent evt) {
try {
jiframe1.getSearch().dispose();
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Sample.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}
change to this:
private void tabbedPaneStateChanged(javax.swing.event.ChangeEvent evt) {
try {
Search s=jiframe1.getSearch();
if(s!=null)
s.dispose();
} catch (Exception ex) {
Logger.getLogger(Sample.class.getName()).log(Level.SEVERE, null, ex);
}
}

NetBeans Java Project Won't Display GUI Window Despite No Error

I am trying to build a java project using Netbeans IDE 7.1.
I somehow can't see or view the GUI window that I have created.
Please kindly advise.
In my class:
package rmiSimpleCalc;
public class RMISimpleCalculatorMain {
public static void main(String[] args) {
MainCalculator calc = new MainCalculator();
calc.setVisible(true);
}
}
the MainCalculator is the GUI window I would like to run. It somehow wont't display.
There is NO error message in my console tough..
Here is the MainCalculator code:
package rmiSimpleCalc;
import java.rmi.*;
public class MainCalculator extends javax.swing.JPanel {
public MainCalculator() {
initComponents();
ComboBoxOperator.addItem("+");
ComboBoxOperator.addItem("-");
ComboBoxOperator.addItem("/");
ComboBoxOperator.addItem("*");
}

Any advise is appreciated.
The MainCalculator class is a JPanel. A JPanel can't just be displayed like that, it has to be part of a Window. Add it to a JFrame and call setVisible(true) on the JFrame.
Also, #npinti's advice is very good: execute GUI-related code in the EDT thread.
The issue is most likely in this section:
public static void main(String[] args) {
MainCalculator calc = new MainCalculator();
calc.setVisible(true);
}
You need to make any GUI related tasks within the Event Dispatcher Thread (EDT).
Try something like so:
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
MainCalculator calc = new MainCalculator();
calc.setVisible(true);
}
});
}
