Thread: Can't get a JToolBar, JMenuBar, and a JTabbedPane to all be visible at the same time.

For some reason the JTabbedPane isn't showing up. I tried changing its orientation to bottom and then left to see if that would fix it but it didn't.

It was just a simple program to see if all three could go together.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
 import javax.swing.*;
import java.util.*;
import java.io.*;
 
public class TesterClassOne extends JFrame
{
 
private JToggleButton jtb;
 
public TesterClassOne()
{
 
 
JMenuBar jmb = new JMenuBar();
setJMenuBar(jmb);
JMenu aMenu = new JMenu("Menu");
jmb.add(aMenu);
 
JMenuItem anItem = new JMenuItem("A JMenuItem");
aMenu.add(anItem);
 
JTabbedPane jtp = new JTabbedPane(JTabbedPane.LEFT);
jtp.addTab("A Tab", null);
jtp.addTab("Another Tab", null);
add(jtp);
setVisible(true);
jtp.setVisible(true);
 
 // setContentPane(getContentPane());
 
}
 
public static void main(String[] args)
{
TesterClassOne tc1 = new TesterClassOne();
JToolBar jtba = new JToolBar();
tc1.add(jtba);
JButton aButton = new JButton("A JButton");
jtba.add(aButton);
JButton aButton2 = new JButton("Another JButton");
jtba.add(aButton2);
}
}

I have tried it with the setConentPane() and without it too. Doesn't appear to make a difference. Have tried it where all three were in constructor and also when all three were in main. (Defined there I mean.) Neither one solves the problem. I've tried some combinations and it still doesn't appear to work.

I figured out a way to get it to work by using Box Layout. Though I didn't try it with the test program, but another, bigger one.

However, I have two new problems, one of them is probably easier than the other. The first one, the easier one, is why isn't the JScrollPane showing up when I invoke that private class as the content for a tab on the JTabbedPane?

I am wondering something about that though. I invoked a super that had one parameter in common with the parent class. The Component parameter. Hmmmmmmm...wait a minute...should I change it to pass a Component or whatever as a parameter instead of putting a JPanel to be passed? Second, for the first part still, is it even doing anything as the super invokes two scroll bar policies as parameters that aren't being passed to the constructor of the child class.

The other problem is that I was trying to add a MouseListener(in fact I added the class's mouse listener since the class itself implements mouse listener, to the JPanel object being used by the JavaPaintProgram object as the content pane. Well actually, the JScrollPane is the content pane but I can't seem to see a scroll pane there either, though I told it to make the thing really big so that, if it were working correctly, there should be one for either the JScrollPane that is associated with the JTabbedPane or on the one that is associated, as part of the JScrollPane that contains it, as part of the content pane for the entire program. First off, is it a good idea, I know it's valid as I've tried it and it compiles and has no run errors so far from it, to do what I did by making the entire class to be the mouse listener of the JPanel.

Another question, related to this second one, is, for this Mouse Listener, I have a paint method already there as well as all the necessary Mouse Listener methods. However, I don't know how to get the Mouse Listener to call a paint method. I'd like it to be able to paint as the mouse moves and is held, as long as it's in bounds of the JPanel of course, and I don't know what method I could call from Graphics class nor do I know how I could get it to call paint, since you can't instantiate a Graphics object, I did think that maybe I could do something like

Graphics gra = Graphics.this;

but if Graphics is an abstract class, not sure what that would do.

Anyway, not sure how to call paint method inside mouse listener since I need to pass it a Graphics object to invoke it.

I know that I can use the ActionListener of the button that chooses a Color to use the JColorChooser to select the color and I can call g.setColor() or whatever, but I'm not sure how to get it to go with the Mouse Listener.

Here's the code:

}

The set and get Color methods are used to be able, since I'm doing this JColorChooser inside an anonymous class, to be able to apply it to the JPanel object of the JScrollPane.

Ok, I changed it to Component and it neither hurt it nor really made it show up.

Hmmmmm...by any chance is that problem with the JScrollPane a problem with my layout?

The thought just occurred to me that that could be what the problem is, and if so, what layout should I be using?

Painting as in Microsoft Paint is what I'm referring to.

However, it probably wouldn't hurt to call paintComponent() all the same.

However, Graphics still is abstract. I did think of passing the method a DebugGraphics object (which can be instantiated) inside the MouseListener.

Also, I think you may be right about using a BufferedImage, whatever that is. If I used some kind of image and just had the user edit it, then it'd be easier to save it as a picture extension then if I, for instance, tried to get the contents of the JPanel to be saved as a jpeg.

Am now going to figure out what in the world you meant by those last lines about the window being dirty.

Not trying to be rude, but to me the idea of how to fix it to bring out some Windex. I honestly don't know what you mean by "dirty".

I did one time get a graphics thing to work on another project that sometimes wouldn't refresh instantly or redraw images or would redraw them in the wrong spot and move all my components over. Is that what you meant?

Also, what about Graphics2D? That deals with the color as well as the text of an image, at least I think it does.

I don't know how to add an image with a jar file.

I tried putting it in same directory but either I didn't have it where I should have or it won't work.

It did work when I specially mentioned the whole path name, but if I had an image that could vary in path name as it'd be on other's computers, then I can't use that approach.

how to add an image with a jar file.

Are you trying to add the image file to the jar file or what?
or does the jar file contain classes that add the image to something else?

To stop making a very long post, I'm going to another post.

I've just noticed something else. It says that I have to turn off double buffering to use DebugGraphics.

I'm not even quite sure what DebugGraphics is. All I know is that it's a child class of Graphics and it's also not abstract so that I can use polymorphism to make it a Graphics object so I can avoid the trap of not being able to instantiate a Graphics object.

I tried the new lines:

RepaintManager repaintManager = RepaintManager.currentManager(component);
repaintManager.setDoubleBufferingEnabled(false);

Ok, I changed the component to panel. Silly mistake on my part.

However, I think the variable willthiswork is still null!

How come!

I found that panel and the image aren't null and are all valid so why is it null?

Sorry, I can't follow your ramblings. Do you have some questions to ask, perhaps with compiler error messages.

at JavaPaintProgram$1.actionPerformed(JavaPaintProgra m.java:67)

look at the code on line 67. What variable is null?

I believe that the variable willthiswork is null.

I tried printing it and it threw a Null Pointer Exception so that proves it.

The question is....why is it null?

I instantiated it.

I tried printing it and it threw a Null Pointer Exception so that proves it.

Not true.
Object obj = null;
System.out.println("obj=" + obj);

would print: obj=null

The NPE is happening inside of the DebugGraphics object.
Read the API doc on how to use that class. I've never heard of it until now.

Ok, I altered it to avoid that unknown class altogether.

But now it got rid of Null Pointer message but still my image must be being drawn in invisible ink.

How do I make it show up?

I tried painting a component and it won't paint.

I think I'm having trouble understanding how to use paint and stuff.

I have a better code but now everything compiles without exceptions but it's not doing what I'd like it to do.

Why won't it paint that Button?

Also, why isn't the image being drawn as I know the method has to be working now...at least...the null pointer exception is gone.

Why won't it paint that Button?

When I compile and execute the code all I get is the title bar???
Is that all that is supposed to show?

The first example at the very beginning was a simpler example.

The one I'm talking about now is far more complex.

Sorry for the confusion.

I was able to solve the original problem, I think, but now have others.

I found that many classes like JFrame have a getGraphics() method for me.

However, I thought I heard somewhere (like in the last few hours) that using that approach was a bad idea but it seems to compile and run, though none of the paint or paint components or Graphics methods are working.

Inside the listener for the button that has you upload an image for a file, I know it's getting the Image and the objects are all not Null and are fine, or appear to be, but nothing is being drawn!

Also, I know my code in my private class that handles the button that will draw a Circle, it's not drawing a Circle or even an oval for that matter around the Button component like it should be.

I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Did your last post answer this question?

Unless it's an error in compiler programs.

I'm wondering something, is it possible for code compiled on JGrasp or NetBeams or BlueJay to not work on Eclipse?

I mean, assuming it is valid code of course.

what you mean by "only title bar"

The title bar is at the top of the frame. It has the java icon on the left and the window controls on the right.

Your new code shows that same thing. No contents for the frame.

If you mean that I don't have any title for the JFrame or anything in the JPanel object that is attached to the tab, you are correct.

Though why it won't add an image though it should to the main JPanel panel, I'm not sure.

The window I see is about 100 pixels by 20 pixels. There is nothing else shown.

Why does my token for this page keep expiring?

Anyway, I got this when I enlarged it:

when I enlarged it

how does it look when it first starts? Does it look like the image I posted?
It shouldn't start that way.
