In this article, we will learn how to place a component, specifically a button, in the bottom-right corner of a Java Swing application using the BorderLayout manager. The BorderLayout is one of the most commonly used layout managers in Java, and it allows you to place components in five different regions: North, South, East, West, and Center. We will demonstrate how to use BorderLayout to ensure the component is placed precisely in the bottom-right corner of the window. Steps to place the component in the bottom-right corner Following are the steps to place the component in the bottom-right corner with ... Read More

In this program, we will learn how to set a custom icon in a JOptionPane using Java's Swing framework. A JOptionPane allows displaying dialog boxes for different purposes such as messages, inputs, or confirmations. In this example, we will create a dialog box with a custom image icon displayed alongside some text. This can be particularly useful for creating visually appealing user interfaces. Problem Statement Write a Java program to set an icon for JOptionPane. Below is the demonstration of the same − Output Steps to set an icon for JOptionPane Following are the steps to set an ...

To set Line Border color and width, use the LineBorder. At first, set a panel wherein we need to set the line border −JPanel panel = new JPanel();Now, create a border and set on the panel created above −Border border = new LineBorder(Color.ORANGE, 4, true); panel.setBorder(border);The following is an example to set LineBorder color and width −package my; import java.awt.Color; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; import javax.swing.JScrollPane; import javax.swing.JTable; import javax.swing.border.Border; import javax.swing.border.LineBorder; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame();       JPanel panel = new JPanel();   ...

To add components with a relative Y position, use the GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE constant. Set this to gridy field −GridBagConstraints constraints = new GridBagConstraints(); constraints.gridy = GridBagConstraints.RELATIVE;The following is an example to add components with a relative Y position in Java −Examplepackage my; import java.awt.GridBagConstraints; import java.awt.GridBagLayout; import javax.swing.JButton; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JPanel; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame();       frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);       JPanel panel = new JPanel();       panel.setLayout(new GridBagLayout());       GridBagConstraints constraints = new GridBagConstraints();       constraints.gridx = ...

For this, create a vertical progress bar −JProgressBar progressBar = new JProgressBar(JProgressBar.VERTICAL); progressBar.setEnabled(true);Also, set the bounds −progressBar.setBounds(70, 50, 120, 30);The following is an example to create vertical progress bar occupying the entire frame −Examplepackage my; import java.awt.BorderLayout; import java.awt.Color; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JProgressBar; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame();       frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);       JProgressBar progressBar = new JProgressBar(JProgressBar.VERTICAL);       progressBar.setEnabled(true);       progressBar.setBounds(70, 50, 120, 30);       progressBar.setBackground(Color.orange);       progressBar.setForeground(Color.white);       progressBar.setStringPainted(true);       ...

To customize how a JTabbedPane looks, change its font style, font face, font size and the background and foreground colors.Let’s say the following is the JTabbedPane −JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();Now, let us customize the above created JTabbedPane −tabbedPane.setBackground(Color.orange); tabbedPane.setForeground(Color.white); Font font = new Font("Verdana", Font.CENTER_BASELINE, 18); tabbedPane.setFont(font);The following is an example to customize JTabbedPane −Examplepackage my; import javax.swing.*; import java.awt.*; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String args[]) {       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Technologies");       JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();       JPanel panel1, panel2, panel3, panel4, panel5;       ...

To get the count of siblings of this node, use the getSiblingCount() method. Let’s say you have a node with 4 child nodes. Find the sibling of any of this node’s child node. Here, “eight” is the child node −eight.getSiblingCount());Note − Remember, a node is it’s own sibling.The following is an example to get the number of siblings of this node in a JTree −Examplepackage my; import javax.swing.JFrame; import javax.swing.JTree; import javax.swing.tree.DefaultMutableTreeNode; public class SwingDemo {    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {       JFrame frame = new JFrame("Demo");       DefaultMutableTreeNode node = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Products");       DefaultMutableTreeNode node1 = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Clothing (Product1 - P66778)");       DefaultMutableTreeNode node2 = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Accessories (Product2 - P66779)");       DefaultMutableTreeNode node3 = new DefaultMutableTreeNode("Home Decor (Product3 - ...

In Java, the do-while and while loops are used to repeat a block of code multiple times based on a condition. These loops help us to avoid writing the same code again and again. Both loops are used when we don't know exactly how many times the loop should run. In this article, we will understand the difference between the while loop and the do-while loop. The while Loop The while loop in java executes one or more statements after testing the loop continuation condition at the start of each iteration. Syntax The while loop follows the syntax given ...

Forgotten timers/callbacksThere are two timing events in javascript namely setTimeout() and setInterval(). The former executes a function after waiting a specified number of milliseconds, whereas the latter executes a function periodically(repeats for every certain interval of time).When any object is tied to a timer callback, it will not be released until the timeout happens. In this scenario timer resets itself and runs forever till the completion of timeout there by disallowing garbage collector to remove the memory.These timers are most frequent cause of memory leaks in javascript.ExampleIn the following example, the timer callback and its tied object(tiedObject) will not be ...

Double-buffering is the process of drawing graphics into an off-screen image buffer and then copying the contents of the buffer to the screen all at once.For the complex graphics, using double-buffering can reduce flickering issues.Java Swing automatically supports double-buffering for all of its components.Double-buffering is memory intensive, its use is only justified for components that are repainted very frequently or have particularly complex graphics to display.If a container uses double-buffering, any double-buffered children it has shared the off-screen buffer of the container, the required off-screen buffer is never larger than the on-screen size of the application.To enable double buffering, simply ...
