So i have text that is quite a bit longer than some of the components they occupy. I have come up with reasonable solutions for most of the problems, but i don't know what to do with very long text items in combo boxes. If the user can not see the text, he can not make the right decision - especially if the first part of the text matches. See my SSCCE below.
I have used a JScrollpane to resolve the issue of long text in a JTextfield and i have used a tooltip to resolve long text in a JXhyperlink field. Also, i ahve a tooltip for the combo box that can display a long item AFTER it has been selected, but ideally i would like to give that option to the user BEFORE he makes his choice. This code example was put together using Netbeans' GUI designer (great for RAD purposes) and the layout is the GroupLayout that the GUI designer uses.

How to deal with very long text items in comboboxes
1) you can put JTextArea or better could be JTextPane to the derived JList from JComboBox
anyhow above point could be simple, but why do that, because there is
2) Combo Box Popup, I'd suggest to set setMaximumWidth

I've built a Higher/Lower game, using the Swing library. When I run the code I don't get any errors or warnings. The problem appears when I try running the code, the window is empty, not the way it should be.
I use NetBeans to program.There are 2 different files in my project, here is the code...
HiLoGUI.java:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import javax.swing.*;
public class HiLoGUI extends JFrame {
private JTextField txtGuess;
private JLabel outputLabel;
private int theNumber;
public void newGame() {
theNumber = (int)(Math.random() * 100 + 1);
}
public void checkGuess() {
String guessText = txtGuess.getText();
String message = "";
int guess = Integer.parseInt(guessText);
if (guess < theNumber) {
message = guess + " is too low. Try again.";
}
else if (guess > theNumber) {
message = guess + " is too high. Try again.";
}
else {
message = guess + " is correct. You win!";
}
outputLabel.setText(message);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
HiLoGUI theGame = new HiLoGUI();
theGame.newGame();
theGame.setSize(new Dimension(450,300));
theGame.setVisible(true);
}
}
The window should look like this:

EDIT2:
I've changed the main class of HiLoGUI.java
I was creating a wrong object.
New main:
public static void main(String[] args) {
HiLoJFrame theGame = new HiLoJFrame();
theGame.newGame();
theGame.setSize(new Dimension(450,300));
theGame.setVisible(true);
}
Now it claims that I need to create that method (newGame) in the JFrame file.
You are calling a method from the wrong class, according to the Swing docs, it is not needed to create a new JFrame object, so setting its visibility is enough. Check this out: How To Call JFrame from another Java class
So I have a Gremlin object for a maze game

I have declared an instance of this JFRAME object and called it gui.
I know for sure that this gui works.
Why do my gremlines not move around the map?
Also when I try to call doMoveDisplay() from anotehr method it fails to work. However it lets me call doMoveDisplay() and doMoveDisplay(character here) in side of the class.
What am I doing wrong?
How do I fix my gremlin run method so the gremlins move around the map every 1000 milliseconds.
tl dr my Gremlin has a run method. However it doesn't actually take its turn. It was working fine when I had all the gremlins do their thing sequentially.
Also the main thread isn't capturing the exception that it was the gremlin constructor was throwing
You are throwing an exception although the main method has already moved passed the point in which the exception would have gotten caught.
I am building a product database and when I'm using the update database function my program crashes.
The issue is one string the program itself throws in.
I retrieve the data from the database text file and because I'm using numberformat.getCurrencyInstance and it throws in a dollar sign. So I threw in an exception String price = updatePriceTextField.getText().substring(1); so it would bypass the dollar sign in the beginning of the text field and send the information back to the textfile and save.
Now it brought up my current problem which is: when I enter a number bigger than 999 and I get to thousands, it brings in a comma: example: $3000.00 is now $3,000.00 and when i try to send that information back to the database it throws in an error and crashes.
Now I know I could just simply add in another substring to avoid, and solve the problem like that, but what if the price of the object lets say is: $300000000.00 the the program throws in 2 commas $300,000,000.00 and would crash again. So what sort of exception or command should I throw in to bypass these commas except substring.
Sorry for the long post, but I tried to explain the issue as well as I could.

Use a JFormattedTextField instead, this way you just use getValue and it will return you the unformatted value for the field.

I'm having some problem in adding new elements to the combo box. The code is created by Netbeans Form Editor, because of this I only have access to modify the event listeners. The elements cant be predefined because the elements are in a database and constantly expanding. Currently the combo box has only one element and i would like it to update according to the values from the database. Thank you for your time folks.

You have to add the ítem in the model:
DefaultComboBoxModel model = (DefaultComboBoxModel) jComboBox1.getModel();
model.addElement("new ítem");
Can be done by going to properties of the combo box then to >> model. As the answer provided here https://stackoverflow.com/a/39689417/5737654

when i run the app the gui didn't appear but it said build successfull. i have the setVisible(true) but the gui never appear.help please i must miss something in the code or wrong using.
Maybe when you press the start button in netbeans it try to run another class... In your class gui try to right click -> Run As -> Java Application.
Otherwise Right Click on Project -> Run -> Main Class -> Browse.. and select anagramword.gui
