I want to create a hidden button in netbeans. Suppose if I click a Next button then a new "Exit" button will be appear in the same jFrame. Until I click the Next button the Exit button will not be shown. So how to make it? I mean how to make a button which is by-default in .setVisible(false) in netbeans?
Please help me out about this problem.
Since you already seem to know the proper method I assume you doubt is about Netbeans operation.
Right click in the method and select "Customize Code".
Then you'll have the chance to add the proper code after the button creation.
Use JButton.setVisible(false); right after you create the button.

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
I have written an application that has one main window and multiple dialogs, however one of these dialogs does not close when the user clicks the 'X' button at the top right corner. There is an OK button in the dialog which closes it correctly, so it's not a huge issue. Can anyone suggest why it's not working?
Maybe you are missing such a line: setDefaultCloseOperation(HIDE_ON_CLOSE); in the dialog class?
The problem I am facing right now is that I want a particular tab on the tabbedfolder to be the active one on click of a button. I have tried the setFocus() method on the composite contained in this tab but it is not working how to do so?
Try to use
tabFolder.setSelection(tabIndex/tabItem)
Also, you may want to use
tabItem.getControl().setFocus()
Hope this helps.
When I enter the username and the password I want to click the "Enter" button to login (I have to click Submit using the mouse.)
Do you know if there's something in the property on the button in NetBeans? what is it?
If not please help me to fix the code.
In your form, try this:
this.getRootPane().setDefaultButton(submitButton);
I would put a ketpressed event listener on the password field, then check the pressed key. If the key is the equals key, call your submit method. Make the submit button perform the same method, so they both perform the same method.
In Netbeans, it works for buttons that I create from the code, but setDefaultButton() doesnt work for the buttons created by the GUI builder.
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.
