How can we add different font style items to JList in Java?
A JList is a subclass of JComponent class and it can be used to display a list of objects that allows the user to select one or more items. A JList can generate a ListSelectiionListener interface and need to implement the abstract method valueChanged(). A DefaultListModel class provides a simple implementation of a list model, which can be used to manage items displayed by a JList control. We can add the items to a JList using the addElement() method of the DefaultListModel class, we can also add items with different fonts to JList using HTML tags like for bold ...
Read MoreHow can we implement transparent JDialog in Java?
A JDialog is a subclass of Dialog class and it does not hold minimize and maximize buttons at the top right corner of the window. There are two types of dialog boxes namely, modal and non-modal. The default layout for a dialog box is BorderLayout.In the below program, we can implement a transparent JDialog by customizing the AlphaContainer class and override the paintComponent() method.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; public class TransparentDialog { public static void main (String[] args) { JDialog dialog = new JDialog(); dialog.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE); ...
Read MoreHow can we detect the double click events of a JTable row in Java?
A JTable is a subclass of JComponent for displaying complex data structures. A JTable can follow the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern for displaying the data in rows and columns. A JTable can generate TableModelListener, TableColumnModelListener, ListSelectionListener, CellEditorListener and RowSorterListener interfaces. We can detect the double click events of a JTable by using a MouseAdapter class or MouseListener interface. We can set the getClickCount() value to '2' of a MouseEvent class for detecting the double click events of a JTable.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.table.*; public final class DoublClickJTableRowTest extends JFrame { private JTable table; private JScrollPane scrollPane; public DoublClickJTableRowTest() { ...
Read MoreWhat is the importance of JViewport class in Java?
JViewportA JViewport class defines the basic scrolling model and it is designed to support both logical scrolling and pixel-based scrolling.The viewport's child called the view is scrolled by calling JViewport.setViewPosition() method.A JViewport class supports logical scrolling, that is a kind of scrolling in which view coordinates are not pixels.To support a logical scrolling, JViewport defines a small set of methods that can be used to define the geometry of a viewport and a view. By default, these methods just report the pixel dimensions of the viewport and view.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; public class JViewportTest extends JFrame { public JViewportTest() { setTitle("JViewport Test"); ...
Read MoreWhat is the importance of a SwingWorker class in Java?
A SwingWorker class enables us to perform an asynchronous task in a worker thread (such as a long-running task) then update Swing components from the Event Dispatch Thread (EDT) based on the task results. It was introduced in Java 1.6 Version.SwingWorker classThe java.swing.SwingWorker class is a task worker, which performs time-consuming tasks in the background.A SwingWorker instance interacts with 3 threads, Current thread, the Worker thread, and the Event Dispatch thread(EDT).The Current thread calls the execute() method to kick off the task to the background and returns immediately.The Worker thread executes our own version of the doInBackground() method continuously in the background.The Event Dispatch Thread (EDT) wakes up from time to ...
Read MoreHow can we set the background/foreground color for individual column of a JTable in Java?
A JTable is a subclass of JComponent class for displaying complex data structures. A JTable component can follow the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern for displaying the data in rows and columns. A JTable can generate TableModelListener, TableColumnModelListener, ListSelectionListener, CellEditorListener, RowSorterListener interfaces. We can change the background and foreground color for each column of a JTable by customizing the DefaultTableCellRenderer class and it has only one method getTableCellRendererComponent() to implement it.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.table.*; public class JTableColumnColorTest extends JFrame { private JTable table; private TableColumn tColumn; public JTableColumnColorTest() { setTitle("JTableColumnColor Test"); table = ...
Read MoreHow can we add/insert a JButton to JTable cell in Java?
A JTable is a subclass of JComponent class and it can be used to create a table with information displayed in multiple rows and columns. When a value is selected from a JTable, a TableModelEvent is generated, which is handled by implementing a TableModelListener interface. We can add or insert a JButton to JTable cell by customizing the code either in DefaultTableModel or AbstractTableModel and we can also customize the code by implementing TableCellRenderer interface and need to override getTableCellRendererComponent() method.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.table.*; public class JTableButtonTest extends JFrame { private JTable table; private JScrollPane scrollPane; public JTableButtonTest() { ...
Read MoreHow to implement the search functionality of a JTable in Java?
A JTable is a subclass of JComponent for displaying complex data structures. A JTable component can follow the Model View Controller (MVC) design pattern for displaying the data in rows and columns. A JTable can generate TableModelListener, TableColumnModelListener, ListSelectionListener, CellEditorListener, RowSorterListener interfaces. We can implement the search functionality of a JTable by input a string in the JTextField, it can search for a string available in a JTable. If the string matches it can only display the corresponding value in a JTable. We can use the DocumentListener interface of a JTextField to implement it.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.event.*; import javax.swing.table.*; public ...
Read MoreHow to change the position of a JSlider to horizontal/vertical programmatically in Java?
A JSlider is a subclass of JComponent class and it is similar to scroll bar which allows the user to select a numeric value from a specified range of integer values. It has a knob which can slide on a range of values and can be used to select a particular value. A JSlider can generate a ChangeListener interface and the important methods of JSlider are getMaximum(), getMinimum(), getOrientation(), getValue() and setValue(). The default position of a JSlider is horizontal and we can also set the position to vertical programmatically by selecting a menu item from a menu bar. It can generate an ActionListener interface ...
Read MoreHow to set a tooltip to each column of a JTableHeader in Java?
A JTableHeader is a subclass of JComponent class, When we create a JTable object, the constructor creates a new JTableHeader object to manage the table component's header. A JTable supplies a setTableHeader() method that establishes the table header component's JTableHeader object and a getTableHeader() method that returns a reference to the table header component's JTableHeader object. We can set a tooltip text to each column of a JTableHeader by overriding the getToolTipText() method of JTableHeader class.Exampleimport java.awt.*; import java.awt.event.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.table.*; public class JTableHeaderToolTipTest extends JPanel { private DefaultTableModel dmodel; private JTable table; private JScrollPane jsp; public JTableHeaderToolTipTest() ...
