Google Chrome Recently had an update that added an extra button onto to the top of the window that allowed you edit your account settings. I have a great use for an extra button like this one but I do not know how to make it. So, how can I add an extra button at the top of the window?
This is what I would like to do or have in mind.
This is more of an amateur/simple answer but it could be possible just to make a title bar with all of the drop downs without text until you reach the button you want and customize that

It is bit similar to the question asked in Disable Chrome paste menu on text inputs while on a touch screen
Needs to get rid of the context menu showing and also needs to get rid of this blue drop completely from the input fields.
Is there a way to achieve that?
I could find ways to disable the right click context menu completely, but could not find a way to completely get rid of this paste menu and this annoying blue drop in input fields.
I need to know how to override and disable the behaviour in CEF-java?
Many programs allow to freely rearrange buttons on gui. For instance Firefox and Chrome have "customize" option. How to do it in Java? Sure, I can bring GUI constrains to settings file and let user edit it, but this isn't user friendly.
Is there a better way to do this?
How to do it in Java?
There is no built in support, so you need to provide this yourself.
You might start with a configuration dialog. It could display a JList with the text of all the buttons in the order in which you want the buttons displayed.
Then the user would be able to drag each item in the list to a new location
When the user is finished they would click "Save" and you would store the order in a user properties file.
Then you would iterate through the list and change the order of each button on your panel.
Every time you start your application you would need to read the user properties file and perform step 4.
Check out the Drop Demo Project from the Swing tutorial on Drag and Drop. It will show you how to implement the JList so items can be dragged to a new location.
So basically you need to write the code yourself.
You can try creating a preference menu like you find in Chrome etc. This will provide for a familiar and user friendly method to do so. You can also go ahead and allow the use to change icon or size if you want to.
Another way could be that you allow the buttons to be dragable and resizable across a container and using events based on movements of the mouse to reorder the buttons in question.
I'm wondering if I can modify my JFrame-Bar with a fullscreen button like this:
I found this on the Win10 reader.
Is it even possible to modify or change your Bars apperance with Java Swing?
I know I can use the JDialoge to remove the minimize and maximize Buttons. But I dont know how to add one.
I had just a few class of java on college, but I want to do a thing that I don't know how.
Is basically a window with a SplitPane, on Left side I have a menu made with toggle buttons, and on the Right side I need to change the content based on each button.
Theres any way to design the ViewA and ViewB on separated JFrame Form and load then inside my Right Side when I click on menu items?
Another idea is, put the ViewA and ViewB put a JTabbedPane on the Right Side, and hide the Tabs. So there's any way to hide the tabs?
I have none experience developing in java, any problem about this concept (difficult, loading time, memory, maintenance), If you guy know a better way to to this, I just don't want a lot of windows popping up.
A really simply way would be to simply have a set of jPanels in the right side, with only one ever set to Visible.
Basically, for each toggle on the left side, you will have an Event Listener that does this:
private void toggle1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
jPanel1.setVisible(false);
jPanel2.setVisible(false);
jPanel3.setVisible(true);
}
Simply changing the true value depending on the individual toggle.
In Netbeans, if using the GUI editor, you can simply double click the toggle button to generate the listener and appropriate method, then fill in the code for it.
I'm trying to build a particular JMenu.
I want a JMenuItem with JMenu functionality, I.E. when we click it the item should do something (like opening a dialog). But the JMenuItem should also contain a button (or other component) that when we click it, should open a popup with a couple of options.
So, till now I have something like this:
That is what I have before click the arrow.
My problem is that, when I press the button (arrow), the sub-menu is actually opened, but the menu item that contains that button closes because loses focus.
That is the result after clicking in the arrow button.
Is there any way to manage this? Or a better way to have this behavior?
We can guide you if we know exactly what you are trying to implement. If you just want to select an option, you can implement that in better way with the JRadioButtonMenuItem,so you dont really need to implement a button and then select an option.But it depends on what you really want.
That's not what a menu is intended for. Use a ribbon instead, and these things will be easy and natural.
Why not just use simple nested JMenuItem instead?
Something like this (First screen from the top).
On the other hand you can benefit from a similar solution described here.
Couldn't actually find a solution for this particular problem.
As a workaround, I used just a simple button that toggle between the option 1 and option 2, instead of having the button (arrow) that open a new popup.
Thanks a lot for your help.
