I'm trying to use Matisse in NetBeans to create a simple game...like Myst. I just want it to display a Frame that has things like a text field and buttons/inventory on the right. I can do that. Then I created a Jpanel that displays on the Frame. I've input some pictures and created a set of cards to make visible and invisible when needed. Each card/scene needs to have buttons that will be different for each scene. Basically I want to make transparent buttons for the user to press that do things (i.e. move to next picture/scene, find a key, etc...). I can create different buttons in each picture, but I can't seem to move them anywhere. I have a suspicion it's due to Matisse, but I don't know.
Here is some of the code, I'm sure it's crude as it's my first implementation of anything in Java. At the very bottom in the Scene to display I've added a button, that displays. I pretty much know now that the setBounds won't work due to the way position works...how would I then place it somewhere. Right now it just displays at the top mid of the picture.

You need to add JFrame.frame.setLayout(null) so that you can adjust your fields(button,textfields) on to the frame.I too had a similar problem
I've figured out that it must be the layoutManager confusing something. If i set: this.setLayout(null); I can then set the bounds of the button and it displays where and how I want. I apologize if the question did not have enough information, but I did not know myself anymore than I told you. If anyone has anything to add about what I did, I'll be glad to select that as my answer.

To begin with, I know that using multiple jframes is frowned upon, unfortunately i have gotten myself to deep into this project to start over. my issue is i cannot find a way to transfer data (user input) from one frame to another, i will provide the code i need to be transferred from frame 1 to another frame
this is my code for the name and email they have to input
JTextArea txtrEnterYourFull = new JTextArea();
txtrEnterYourFull.setEditable(false);
txtrEnterYourFull.setFont(new Font("Lucida Grande", Font.PLAIN, 15));
txtrEnterYourFull.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
txtrEnterYourFull.setText("Enter your full name");
txtrEnterYourFull.setBounds(52, 58, 166, 29);
frame.getContentPane().add(txtrEnterYourFull);
nameL = new JTextField();
nameL.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
}
}
);
nameL.setBackground(Color.LIGHT_GRAY);
nameL.setBounds(52, 93, 284, 26);
frame.getContentPane().add(nameL);
nameL.setColumns(10);
JTextArea txtroptionalEnterYour = new JTextArea();
txtroptionalEnterYour.setEditable(false);
txtroptionalEnterYour.setFont(new Font("Lucida Grande", Font.PLAIN, 15));
txtroptionalEnterYour.setBackground(Color.GRAY);
txtroptionalEnterYour.setText("(Optional) Enter your email");
txtroptionalEnterYour.setBounds(52, 139, 193, 29);
frame.getContentPane().add(txtroptionalEnterYour);
textField_1 = new JTextField();
textField_1.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
}
here is the button code to go to the new frame
JButton btnContinue = new JButton("Continue");
btnContinue.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
frame2 fram = new frame2 ();
fram.setVisible(true);
frame.dispose();
i am new to swing and i dont need someone to complete my program. i just need to know how to carry it over to a new text box on a new frame.
Doing this is fairly easy. All you need to do is to set a constructor in which you are passing your frame with the values you need over to your new frame.
For example, I have a LoginScreen.java and DoctorScreen.java. If my user successfully entered his details and logs in, I transfer an ArrayList of Doctors from one JFrame to another JFrame, or more precisely, from one java class to another by creating a new instance of that class
Example here
Passing an arraylist from LoginScreen.java to DoctorScreen.java
DoctorScreen dScreen = new DoctorScreen(frame, docList,d);
Now Taking those values passed from LoginScreen.java and setting them in DoctorScreen.java
public DoctorScreen(JFrame frame, ArrayList<Doctor> docList, Doctor d) {
// TODO Auto-generated constructor stub
dialog = new JFileChooser(System.getProperty("user.dir"));
this.frame = frame;
this.docList = docList;
this.d = d;
initialize();
}
Now, you can change the DoctorScreen Constructor to fit into whatever project you are trying to do.
The steps I would advise you to take is to create a Java file for handling your input, and the second Java file to display what you entered in the first file
EG:
JButton btnContinue = new JButton("Continue");
btnContinue.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String field1 = txtrEnterYourFull.getText();
String name = nameL.getText();
String field2 = txtroptionalEnterYour.getText();
Display display = new Display(name, field1, field2);//using this as example
}
}
Then in your display.java, call your constructor taking in these fields and display them either in a textfield/textarea or in a JLabel in your frame
String name, field1, field2;
public Display(String name, String field1, String field2){
this.name = name;
this.field1 = field1;
this.field2 - field2;
}
Please take note that these variables have already been declared and I am merely using this for demonstration purposes.
Frames are like any other class, so just use the same kind of strategies you use to pass data between any other classes. For example you can simply create setter methods in your second frame class and call them from the first frame.
Note: This is just something I threw together really fast in Netbeans so there is a lot of generated code. Also, this is strictly an example I'm not saying it's necessarily the best way to do this.
Here is a quick and dirty example of how you might pass data between two JFrame objects:
This is the code to pay attention to from Frame1:
private void sendToOtherFrameBtnActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
Frame2 otherFrame = new Frame2();
otherFrame.setTextFieldText(jTextField1.getText());
otherFrame.setTextAreaText(jTextArea1.getText());
otherFrame.setVisible(true);
}
Here is the full code for Frame1:
public class Frame1 extends javax.swing.JFrame {
/**
* Creates new form Frame1
*/
public Frame1() {
initComponents();
}
/**
* This method is called from within the constructor to initialize the form.
* WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is always
* regenerated by the Form Editor.

I am making a graphical interface in Netbeans where you can put a series of numbers (example: 7 8 5 4 10 13) in the textfield "punten" and when you press the button "ververs" a graphical linechart of all the numbers should appear (in my panel). I made a class "Gui" that extends JFrame with the Textfield, the button and a panel in it. I also made a class "Grafiek" that extends JPanel and that is linked with the panel in my "Gui".
The problems that I experience are: the repaint(); command won't go to the paintComponent(Graphics g)-method and my private variables won't change (the length of punt and punti stays 0).
Can somebody please help me, I've been working on this project for days.

The code does not work because you add your points to the wrong object.
First of all, your panel object is not of type Grafiek, second of all it is first initialized in the method initComponents() and then overwritten again in the constructor.
Second problem, in the method verversActionPerformed called by the action listener, you create a new instance of Grafiek that is obviously not the one you have created/added before.
Thus, to make it work alter the code as follows:
The constructor should look the following:
public Gui() {
initComponents();
//panel = new javax.swing.JPanel();
}
The method like this:
private void verversActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
Grafiek graf = (Grafiek)panel;
graf.verwerkData(punten.getText());
}
Thus, it works as you expected.
However, this is far away from good code. You should set the type of variable panel to the correct type Grafiek.
We're trying to design a set of Textfields where users can enter a value depending on how much quantity of the product they want. We have one button called checkout.
Basically, 2 classes, One called FoodDept (where all the textfields are and the checkout Button), and one called Checkout where there is a textfield or Area where i can output the choices or numbers the user indicated. That is basicallly all I need.

Before start, some off-topic advices:
Please read about Java Code
Conventions
and stick to them because they make your code more readable.
Try to make your GUI classes without using GUI builders and spend some time learning about Swing and writing your classes by your own hand. You'll learn lot of things that builder "hides" you and your code will be simpler and cleaner.
Every Swing application should have only one JFrame. Take a look to this topic: The Use of Multiple JFrames, Good/Bad Practice?
I suspect because of backBtn presence that you're trying to do a kind of wizard. If this is the case I'd suggest you take a look to CardLayout. There are plenty of examples in SO too.
Well the two classes needed are there, you just have to find out the way to communicate them. One approach would be passing a List<String> to the Checkout class so when the JTextArea is initialized it can take this list as data:
public class Checkout extends JDialog {
List<String> dataToBeDisplayed;
...
public void setDataToBeDisplayed(List<String> data) {
this.dataToBeDisplayed = data;
}
private void initComponents() {
JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea(20,30);
for(String line : dataToBeDisplayed) {
textArea.append(line + System.lineSeparator());
}
getContentPane().add(new JScrollPane(textArea));
}
}
The List must be set before the dialog becomes visible, just like this:
Checkout checkout = new Checkout(this, true);
checkout.setDataToBeDisplayed(data); // data must be created and populated before this call
checkout.setVisible(true);
When I write a code for displaying a textfield,label etc. on an event say button click its works fine if I write the whole code and does not work if I drag-drop any components from netbeans.
How do I solve this problem ?

Problem is in layout manager. I don´t like netbeans GUI Designers, i prefered make own design, and this is one of many reasons why:
you create some basic GUI with designer. Later you want to add next component into, but it is not "visible" because of layout. Default is "free design" that means GroupLayout. Change it to other appropriate layer or specify position for JLabel.
I have enabled the default custom drag and support for a JTree, it works like a charm :)
I have one tree, one text and one editor pane, if I drag any node from the tree to the text area, it pastes the text, but when I do the same thing to the editor pane, it doesn't copy the plain text, it copies the text with bullet and changes the entire layout.
All I need is to copy the plain text to the editor pane, this only happens when I set the content type to "plain/text" when the change the content type it will copy with bullet symbol...
Is there any possibility that when I drop to the text area/editor pane, instead of name of node, it should place 'name of the node +"?"', I have googled it but only can find how to enable the drag and support for JLabel.

I have a little experience with custom drag'n'drop and may be your problem has better solution, but this works:
Make your custom dropTarget for JEditorPane. It will pick the text/plain DataFlavor instead of default text/html one;
class JEditorPaneDropTarget extends DropTargetAdapter{
JEditorPaneDropTarget(JEditorPane pane) {
new DropTarget(pane, this);
}
#Override
public void drop(DropTargetDropEvent dtde) {
Transferable tr = dtde.getTransferable();
Object data;
try {
DataFlavor df = new DataFlavor("text/plain; class=java.lang.String");
data = tr.getTransferData(df);
JEditorPane pane = (JEditorPane) ((DropTarget)dtde.getSource()).getComponent();
pane.setText((String)data);
} catch (Exception e) {
//
}
}
}
Initialize it with your jEditorPane1 somewhere in initComponents():
new JEditorPaneDropTarget(jEditorPane1);
Here are no checks for possible null or cast exceptions, so you will need those too.
Read something about DataFlavors and how to use them. May be there is a way to mention right DataFlavor to use without writing whole custom DropTarget class, but i didn't find any.
