In many books weightx and weighty values are expressed in different ways: some says 0.0 to 1.0 other says 0 to 100 other say until 1000 I'm a lot confused. In the API these variables are double types so I think the first is correct but what does it meaning a value of 0.4 or 0.7? are percentage values, point values? relative of what? ...

The GUI is used to start some customized system level tests(io,memory,cpu) and show their progress. The tests have to be left running at-least overnight to get the results. But, the next morning,...
Let's say I want to use a custom image for the arrow in JComboBox, how can I do this? I understand it's possible using the synth xml files, or maybe even UIManager.put(...), but I don't know how. All I want to do at this time is change the arrow image to something else, either programatically or even just overriding the image it uses. ...
This is possibly has a trivial solution, but I am at the end of my tether so I hope somebody can help out. I use a JTable which has a custom renderer and a custom editor for a set of columns. The renderer uses a JLabel component and the editor uses a JSpinner component. Our users want to be able to enter values in a column, and then pre...

When the table displays initially everything looks OK but then when a dialog or something is displayed over the cells when it is removed the cells that have been covered do not rendered properly an...
Are there any libraries that instrument code to verify that methods called on swing components are called on the event dispatch thread? It probably wouldn't be too difficult to write some basic code for doing this, but I'm sure there are edge cases and whatnot that other people have handled. I'm looking for this at runtime though, not fo...
I am developing an application that will be running behind the scenes in Windows and would like to put an icon in the system tray for troubleshooting purposes (simple way for users to tell if the app is running). There is no other UI for the application, and the icon does not need to have any functionality as of right now. All of the so...
I need a Swing component that will let me display a tree-structured list of items, and allow the user to select or de-select an arbitrary subset of those items, with the ability to select or deselect an entire subtree's worth of components by picking that subtree's parent. (Basically, something similar to the Eclipse "Export JAR file's"...
In Java, to create and show a new JFrame, I simply do this: public static void main(String[] args) { new MyCustomFrameClass().setVisible(true); } However, I have seen many people doing it like this: public static void main(String[] args) { EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable() { public void run() { ne...
Hello everyone, In Java, I am adding a KeyListener to a JWindow, but it is not getting any key events. If I used the same code but extend a JFrame instead, then everything works fine. public class MyWindow extends JWindow { ... ... private void initComponents() { ... ... addKeyListener(new KeyListene...
I am working on an embedded linux device that requires custom java code to draw to the screen. I was wondering if there was any way to create a custom adapter that can update the display based off our drawing code. I have done some digging and haven't found any information as to how Devices are implemented or plugged into Swing/AWT. Any ...
How to make the "dropdown" (or "popup", I don't know how it's called) of a JComboBox taller on the screen? By default, when I open my JComboBox I see, say, 7 out of 29 items, then I need to scroll. What should I do so that I can see, say, 15 out of these 32 items? (or if the dropdown is, say, 150 pixels tall, how can I make it 300 pixe...

I'm using a custom TreeModel for a JTree. I have an issue when I insert a new node into my TreeModel, and then call treeNodesInserted(TreeModelEvent) on all my TreeModelListeners. I think the issue has to do with the fact that JTree.TreeModelHandler has no implementation for treeNodesInserted(e), only treeStructureChanged(e) obviously ...
Hello, I did some package and jar refactoring in my application and now I have several look&feel issues. - The one which is easier to explain is that in JTree (embedded within a JXTreeTable), I no longer have "leaf" (file) icon but gray bullet instead... - Another one is that the default font in TextArea became 'Courier', I hade to for...

I've got a JButton that for various reasons I want to act like a button, but look like a JLabel. It doesn't actually have to be a JLabel under the hood, I just don't want the raised button edge to show up. Is there an easy way to turn off the "button look" for JButtons but keep all the button functionality? I could build some kind of ...
