How to Change java Cardlayout from another separate class - java

Please I have been trying to switch CardLayout from another class (JPanel) which is one of the card on the CardLayout, I have search and made research about this for a very long time but found nothing helpful.
I have a CardLayout and two separate JPanels that I added to the CardLayout, now I want to be able to switch the cards after performing activities on the separate JPanel or separate class, so how do I switch the CardLayout from another class? my code below.
package myApp;
import java.awt.CardLayout;
public class TestmyCard extends javax.swing.JFrame {
/**
* Creates new form TestmyCard
*/
public TestmyCard() {
initComponents();
jPanel1.add(new FirstCard(),"card3");
jPanel1.add(new SecondCard(),"card4");
}
public void chgCard(String nwCard){
CardLayout cl = (CardLayout)(jPanel1.getLayout());
cl.show(jPanel1,nwCard);
}

In your provided code, you never added FirstCard and SecondCard, to the JPanel having layout set to CardLayout. Since what you writing is this :
jPanel1.add(jPanel2, "card2");
here jPanel2 is an instance of JPanel, as you have initialized this in your TestmyClass Class, as :
jPanel2 = new javax.swing.JPanel();
instead I guess what you should be writing is :
jPanel2 = new SecondCard(passPanelWithCardLayoutAsArgument); // So that you can manoeuvre around b/w other JPanels
Here is a small working example for your help :
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
public class CardLayoutExample

}
else if (comp instanceof JRadioButton)

And you will call this inside the actionPerformed() method of the Button, which will take you to the next Card.

Accessing elements from a jFrame that is within a running instance of a thread

I am trying to make an app for communicating between different running instances of a thread. I have a jFrame that has a jTextField and a jButton. In the jTextField I type the number of threads that I want to run and after I press the jButton the threads run. Each thread contains a jFrame with a jButton. So if I type 3 in the jTextField and then press OK, three different jFrames pop out that have an own jButton. If I press the jButton in one of the jFrames of the threads, the jButton is set to disabled (setEnabled(false)). This should happen to each jButton of the jFrames from within the threads when pressed but the one from the last jFrame that is still not pressed.
This is the window class for the thread:
public class Window extends JFrame implements Runnable {
JFrame jr;
JButton bt;
public void run() {
jr=new JFrame();
bt=new jButton();
bt.setTitle("Press Me");
jr.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
jr.add(bt);
bt.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){
bt.setEnabled(false);
}
});
jr.setVisible(true);
}
}
Now this is how I run multiple instances of this thread. i is the number of the thread instances that is taken from the jTextField:
( int i=Integer.parseInt(jTextField1.gettext()) )
for (int a=0;a<i;a++) {
Runnable thr=new Window(a);
executor.execute(thr);
}
This is what I want to do: After I press the jButton on every jFrame that is within the thread instances and it is set to setEnabled(false) I get to the last jFrame that is popped up whose jButton is still unpressed. When I press this last JButton I want that all the JButtons on every jFrame to be set back to setEnabled(true). How can I do that?
This is the main class it works 100 % now!

create JPanel after click the button /Java

I have a problem with my project. I would like to create new Panel in my Frame after click the button. Here's a part of a code:
private class ComponentListener implements ActionListener {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getSource().equals(newGameItem))
{
System.out.println("dasda");
gamePanel = new GamePanel();
cont.add(gamePanel);
}
if (e.getSource().equals(stopItem)) {
gamePanel.stopGame();
}
}
}
GamePanel gamePanel;
Container cont = this.getContentPane();
When I click the button I see the text in console, also when I'm starting project already with this Panel everything is okay.
I guess this problem is simple but I can't figure out what's going on :( .
I see "dasda" so it means that method actionPerformed works correctly.
miniwolf where should I invoke repaint? In actionPerformed?
Okay, I found a solution. I should have added gamePanel.revalidate() in actionPerformed. Thanks for your help
I have to refresh this topic, cause I have a problem with change JPanel in JFrame form.
When I click the button I want to change a panel but I can't see it, but when I create JFrame (java class) and write code by myself everything's okay.
This is a code from JFrame (java class) made by me.
public class main extends JFrame
{
public main()
{
frameSettings();
this.getContentPane().add(panel1);
panel1.add(button);
panel1.setBackground(Color.red);
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
gamePanel = new GamePanel();
container.add(gamePanel);
gamePanel.startGame();
gamePanel.revalidate();
gamePanel.requestFocus();
}
});
}
private void frameSettings() {
int szer = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().width;
int wys = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().height;
this.setTitle("Pong");
this.setSize(700, 600);
this.setResizable(false);
int szerRamki = this.getSize().width;
int wysRamki = this.getSize().height;
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(3);
this.setLocation((szer - szerRamki) / 2, (wys - wysRamki) / 2);
}
JPanel panel1 = new JPanel();
JButton button = new JButton();
GamePanel gamePanel;
Container container = this.getContentPane();
public static void main(String args[])
{
java.awt.EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
#Override
public void run()
{
new main().setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
And this is a code from JFrame form
public class MainFrame extends javax.swing.JFrame
{
/**
* Creates new form MainFrame
*/
public MainFrame()
{
initComponents();
frameSettings();
}
private void frameSettings()
{
int szer = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().width;
int wys = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize().height;
this.setTitle("Pong");
this.setSize(700, 600);
this.setResizable(false);
int szerRamki = this.getSize().width;
int wysRamki = this.getSize().height;
this.setDefaultCloseOperation(3);
this.setLocation((szer - szerRamki) / 2, (wys - wysRamki) / 2);
}

How do I pass values between cards in Java CardLayout....this time i have given a good example

This is a simple code to clarify my question:
this is the main class from where I declared the two panels.

My question is.if I put a value in the textarea of the first card and press the login button.the value will appear in the text area of the second card.how can i do it?
You somehow have to pass a reference of the second panel to the first one:
Main class:
public class MainPane
{
public void displayGUI()
{
....
p1 = new Firstcard1(contentPane);
p2 = new SecondCard1(contentPane);
p1.setSecondCard(p2);
....
}
}
First card:
public class Firstcard1 extends javax.swing.JPanel {
....
private SecondCard secondCard;
void setSecondCard(SecondCard secondCard)
{
this.secondCard = secondCard;
}
....
private void LoginActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt)
{
CardLayout layout = (CardLayout)contentpane.getLayout();
layout.show(contentpane, "Panel 2");
secondCard.getTextField().setText(jTextField1.getText());
}
}
Second card:
public class SecondCard1 extends javax.swing.JPanel
{
...
JTextField getTextField()
{
return jTextField1;
}
...
}
But when you continue like this, the program will probably become a mess pretty soon. I'd recommend to create these components manually, without using any visual GUI builders.

JAVA Swing - tabbed panel setSelectedIndex() on a card panel from another card panel

I have a GUI as shown below. the tabbed pane in the card layout card 1 panel show 1st tab by default. When i navigate to card 2, I would like to know how to make the button there to navigate to card 1 tab 3. I know how to get to card 1 from that button by using getParent(), but I don't know how to show a specific tab I want from there. (Note: card 1 and card 2 are two different JPanel classes, the parent is a JFrame class)
Image: Left side as card 1 with tabbed panel , Right side as card 2
The following is my code:

I think you're looking for JTabbedPane.html.setSelectedIndex(int).
The following isn't the most elegant solution, but it should work without requiring a lot of refactoring.
Add a method in NewJFrame:
public CardLayoutTest.JPanelCard1 getJPanelCard11() {
return jPanelCard11;
}
Add a method in JPanelCard1:
public void setTab(int index) {
jTabbedPane1.setSelectedIndex(index);
}
Call these in JPanelCard2:
private void jButton1ActionPerformed(java.awt.event.ActionEvent evt) {
//show card 1 from here
CardLayout card = (CardLayout) this.getParent().getLayout();
card.show((JPanel) this.getParent(), "card1");
//card1 shown, show specific tab in the tab pane from here:
NewJFrame parent = (NewJFrame) this.getParent();
((JPanelCard1) parent.getJPanelCard11()).setTab(1);
}

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.setLocation(10, 10);
jiframe2cont.add(jiframe2);
jiframe2.setVisible(true);
