After a very long couple of days I have determined that there is a delay when displaying text very quickly in a text area if that text area is in a border layout. My question is, why does the following code take 10-20 times longer to execute using border layout than without (comment out one of the two methods either addWithBorderLayout or addWithoutBorderLayout) AND is there a way to use the border layout without this delay? (The problem exists with or without the SwingUtilities invokeLater() method.)

On Mac OS X 10.5.8 using Java version 1.6, I see a comparable disparity unless I set apple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz at the beginning of main(). Here is a related example that affects font rendering quality rather than execution time.
if (System.getProperty("os.name").startsWith("Mac OS X")) {
System.setProperty("apple.awt.graphics.UseQuartz", "true");
}
I use JDK6_17 on XP with an older computer and don't notice the difference you experience. My timings where betweenn 20-22 in both cases.
I then changed the sleep time to 10ms and the timings are remarkably similiar.
For the default layout:
Average time in between events: 31.236842105263158
Average time in between events: 31.236842105263158
Average time in between events: 31.236842105263158
For the Border layout:
Average time in between events: 31.236842105263158
Average time in between events: 31.23766447368421
Average time in between events: 31.236842105263158
In fact I can't believe they are identical in 5 of 6 cases.
By default the content pane of a JFrame does use a BorderLayout. So when you add components to the frame all you need to do is:
frame.add(topComponent, BorderLayout.NORTH);
frame.add(centerComponent);
frame.add(bottomComponent, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
and the frame will add the components to the content pane at the proper location.
Why are you changing the layout of the frame, instead of the content pane. Normally you would only ever change the layout of the content pane. The root pane of the frame is use to hold the menu bar and the content pane. So maybe you change the default layout manager of the entire frame you are causing some problems?

I am writing a little stock quote application and when I compile the code the space for the text will be taken in the Jlist but no text will appear.
def loadStockDisplay(self):
self.display = JPanel()
self.display.setLayout(BorderLayout())
self.display.setBackground(Color.decode("#0A0A33"))
self.display.setBorder(BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(0,3,0,0,Color.decode("#8080E6")))
self.label = JLabel("Stocks")
self.label.setForeground(Color.decode("#FCFCFC"))
self.label.setFont(self.font)
self.display.add(self.label,BorderLayout.NORTH)
self.stocks = DefaultListModel();
self.items = JList(self.stocks)
self.items.setBackground(Color.decode("#0A0A33"))
self.items.setForeground(Color.decode("#FCFCFC"))
self.items.setFont(self.font)
self.items.setSelectionBackground(Color.decode("#0A0A33"))
self.items.setSelectionForeground(Color.decode("#FCFCFC"))
self.display.add(self.items, BorderLayout.CENTER)
self.frame.add(self.display,BorderLayout.EAST)
self.updateStocks()
def updateStocks(self):
companys = ["MSFT","SNDK","GOOGL","NOK","EMC","HPQ","IBM","EBAY","AAPL","AMZN"]
tempList = []
for company in companys:
Quote = web()
tempList.append(company + " " + str(Quote.getQuote(company)))
self.stocks.clear()
for item in tempList:
self.stocks.addElement(item)
Maybe there is a problem in the code that is not yet available in the question? Could you share the class and main method (if you have these)? There could also be an issue with fetching the quotes from the web.
If I add some code to make your program run, the list has items for each company (with a dummy quote):
from java.awt import BorderLayout, Color
from javax.swing import BorderFactory, DefaultListModel, JFrame, JLabel, JList, JPanel
class StocksTest:
def loadStockDisplay(self):
self.frame = JFrame('Stocks', defaultCloseOperation=JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE, size=(300, 300), locationRelativeTo=None)
self.display = JPanel()
self.display.setLayout(BorderLayout())
self.display.setBackground(Color.decode("#0A0A33"))
self.display.setBorder(BorderFactory.createMatteBorder(0,3,0,0,Color.decode("#8080E6")))
self.label = JLabel("Stocks")
self.label.setForeground(Color.decode("#FCFCFC"))
self.label.setFont(self.frame.font)
self.display.add(self.label,BorderLayout.NORTH)
self.stocks = DefaultListModel();
self.items = JList(self.stocks)
self.items.setBackground(Color.decode("#0A0A33"))
self.items.setForeground(Color.decode("#FCFCFC"))
self.items.setFont(self.frame.font)
self.items.setSelectionBackground(Color.decode("#0A0A33"))
self.items.setSelectionForeground(Color.decode("#FCFCFC"))
self.display.add(self.items, BorderLayout.CENTER)

companys = ["MSFT","SNDK","GOOGL","NOK","EMC","HPQ","IBM","EBAY","AAPL","AMZN"]

#Quote = web()
#companyQuote = Quote.getQuote(company)
companyQuote = len(str(company)) * 314.15
tempList.append(company + " " + str(companyQuote))
self.stocks.clear()
for item in tempList:
self.stocks.addElement(item)

I want to use this JXDatePicker component in a application that will work on a touch display. Because the default component is small, all the dates and the buttons are hard to click using a bad touch screen I wanted to make them bigger. So far I successfully made the result text field bigger (the one showing the selected date, by changing the font), make the pop-up bigger (the JXMonthView, also by changing its font), change the picture of the JXDatePicker with a bigger image, set the default date to be the current date, set the date format, etc. This is my code:
private void touch_screen_datepicker(JXDatePicker date_picker) {
Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
JXMonthView monthView = date_picker.getMonthView();
date_picker.setDate(new Date());
date_picker.setFont(new Font(Font.DIALOG, Font.PLAIN, 50));
JButton btn_pick = (JButton) date_picker.getComponent(1);
btn_pick.setBackground(new Color(66, 147, 223));
Image image = toolkit.getImage("/home/adrrian/Image/calendar/" + "calendar image 4.png"); //Земање на сликата за мк знаме
ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon(image); //Правење на икона
btn_pick.setIcon(icon); //Поставување на иконата
SimpleDateFormat longFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yyyy-MM-dd");
SimpleDateFormat shortFormat = new SimpleDateFormat("yy-MM-dd");
Date startDate = new Date(0);//01.01.1970
shortFormat.set2DigitYearStart(startDate);
DatePickerFormatter formatter = new DatePickerFormatter(
// invers sequence for parsing to satisfy the year parsing rules
new DateFormat[]{shortFormat, longFormat}) {
#Override
public String valueToString(Object value) throws ParseException {
if (value == null) {
return null;
}
return getFormats()[1].format(value);
}
};
DefaultFormatterFactory factory = new DefaultFormatterFactory(formatter);
date_picker.getEditor().setFormatterFactory(factory);
monthView.setFont(new Font(Font.DIALOG, Font.PLAIN, 50));
monthView.setFirstDayOfWeek(Calendar.MONDAY);
}
and this is an image of my final work:
My main problem is how to make the arrow that are changing the months (for example if I go back from this image to show September). I tried listing all of the components, like I did for the button, but still I didn't found anything. Also for better GUI I like to find that dark blue color (where the month is displayed), to make my button the same.
Hope someone can help me. Thanks in advance.
Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();
JXMonthView monthView = date_picker.getMonthView();

date_picker.putClientProperty("JComponent.sizeVariant", "large");
monthView.putClientProperty("JComponent.sizeVariant", "large");

As #Vighanesh Gursale suggested I insterdet this lines and also did the frame.pack() before setVisible(true), but nothing changes.
I have made some code using nimbus look and feel, i know it is not exact that you want but it is pretty much helpful. Check this code. To perform same you need to find the key of your next and previous buttons key in my case it is Button.margin. Try to use the same key in your code if you are lucky it would work.

UIManager.put("Button.margin", insets);
}
catch(Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
Demo d = new Demo();
}
}
Also keep in mind to use default look and feel or any other look and feel.
This question is quite old but for everyone who is looking how it can be done
UIManager.put("JXMonthView.monthDownFileName", <PATH_TO_IMAGE>);
UIManager.put("JXMonthView.monthUpFileName", <PATH_TO_IMAGE>);
monthDownFileName refers to previous month
monthUpFileName refers to next month
this will change the image with other of your choice (and size)
I have a problem to display multiple line in Jlabel. I tried to use html tag and that didn't helped me. I just wonder why the following code is not working. I used <br> tag and till it displays in one line.
Any help please...

}
}
data + " <html> JVM Free Memory: "
Should be more along the lines of:
"<html><body>JVM Free Memory: "
It requires the <html> element to be the 1st part of the String.
Best practice would be to make it valid HTML by adding the <body> prefix.
You have a white space in front of <HTML>. remove it and it works :data= data + "<html> JVM
I'm trying to put a scrolling text area, called descriptionScroll. However, the scroll bar is NOT visible. I've tried many approaches, and all end in frustration.
Am I missing anything to get the scroll bar showing? It should appear to the right of the large text box next to "Description"
Here's the relevant piece of code:
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTextArea;
protected JTextArea descriptionTextArea;
protected JScrollPane descriptionScroll;
String descriptionText =
"Lot ID(s):\n" +
"Wafer ID(s):\n" +
"PSPT(Probe Ship Part Type):\n" +
"Tester:\n" +
"Tester Job Name:\n" +
"PID (FPP, FPC):\n" +
"Reprobe required before shipping lot? (Y/N)\n\n" +
"Hold for (individual):\n" +
"Hold for (group)\n" +
"Expected release date\n" +
"Hold Comments:\n\n" +
"Shipping Information:\n" +
"Special Instructions:\n";
public Constructor(){
descriptionTextArea = new JTextArea(descriptionText);
descriptionScroll = new JScrollPane(descriptionTextArea, JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS, JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED);
add(descriptionTextArea);
add(descriptionScroll);
pack();
setSize(790, 625);
setDefaultCloseOperation(EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setVisible(true);
descriptionTextArea.setSize(650, 200);
descriptionTextArea.setLocation(110, 228);
descriptionTextArea.setLineWrap(true);
}
You're adding both JScrollPane and JTextArea to the same container. Add the JTextArea to JScrollPane:
descriptionScroll.add(descriptionTextArea);
How do I easily edit the style of the selected text in a JTextPane? There doesn't seem to be many resources on this. Even if you can direct me to a good resource on this, I'd greatly appreciate it.
Also, how do I get the current style of the selected text? I tried styledDoc.getLogicalStyle(textPane.getSelectionStart()); but it doesn't seem to be working.
Here's a code snippet to insert a formatted "Hello World!" string in a JEditorPane:
Document doc = yourEditorPane.getDocument();
StyleContext sc = new StyleContext();
Style style = sc.addStyle("yourStyle", null);
Font font = new Font("Arial", Font.BOLD, 18);
StyleConstants.setForeground(style, Color.RED);
StyleConstants.setFontFamily(style, font.getFamily());
StyleConstants.setBold(style, true);
doc.insertString(doc.getLength(), "Hello World!", style);
Take a look at the following code in this pastebin:
http://pbin.oogly.co.uk/listings/viewlistingdetail/d6fe483a52c52aa951ca15762ed3d3
The example is from here:
http://www.java2s.com/Code/Java/Swing-JFC/JTextPaneStylesExample3.htm
It looks like you can change the style using the following in an action listener:
final Style boldStyle = sc.addStyle("MainStyle", defaultStyle);
StyleConstants.setBold(boldStyle, true);
doc.setCharacterAttributes(0, 10, boldStyle, true);
It sets the style of the text between the given offset and length to a specific style.
See the full pastebin for more details. That should fix your problem though.
The easiest way to manipulate text panels is using editor kits and their associated actions. You can find a demo of this in the JDK samples (under jdk\demo\jfc\Stylepad).
Sample code that installs a StyledEditorKit and uses a FontSizeAction to manipulate the text:
public static void main(String[] args) {
// create a rich text pane
JTextPane textPane = new JTextPane();
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(textPane,
JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_AS_NEEDED,
JScrollPane.HORIZONTAL_SCROLLBAR_NEVER);
// install the editor kit
StyledEditorKit editorKit = new StyledEditorKit();
textPane.setEditorKit(editorKit);
// build the menu
JMenu fontMenu = new JMenu("Font Size");
for (int i = 48; i >= 8; i -= 10) {
JMenuItem menuItem = new JMenuItem("" + i);
// add an action
menuItem
.addActionListener(new StyledEditorKit.FontSizeAction(
"myaction-" + i, i));
fontMenu.add(menuItem);
}
JMenuBar menuBar = new JMenuBar();
menuBar.add(fontMenu);
// show in a frame
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setSize(600, 400);
frame.setJMenuBar(menuBar);
frame.setContentPane(scrollPane);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
(Tip: if you want to use a FontFamilyAction, have a look at GraphicsEnvironment.getAvailableFontFamilyNames() and logical font family names.)
I'd recommend taking a look at Sun's Java Tutorial about editor panes.
Ok, wow. Hard question. So I have not found a way to get the style of a given character. You can, however, get the MutableAttributeSet for a given character and then test to see if the style is in that attribute set.
Style s; //your style
Element run = styledDocument.getCharacterElement(
textPane.getSelectionStart() );
MutableAttributeSet curAttr =
( MutableAttributeSet )run.getAttributes();
boolean containsIt = curAttr.containsAttributes( s );
One problem with getting the Style for a range of characters is that there may be more than one style applied to that range (example: you may select text where some is bold and some is not).
To update the selected text you can:
Style s; //your style
JTextPane textPane; //your textpane
textPane.setCharacterAttributes( s, false );
Oh, and it appears that the function getLogicalStyle doesn't work because it's returning the default style (or maybe just the style) for the paragraph that contains p, rather than the the style of the character at p.
