Set JInternalFrame minimised size

I have a JDesktopPane with some JInternalframe windows in it as seen in the image below:
When I minimize them, they don't show their full title. Is there a way to show it fully?

You might be able to override the iconifyFrame(...) method of DefaultDesktopManager and getPreferredSize() method of JInternalFrame.JDesktopIcon to set that DesktopIcon size.

r.width = f.getDesktopIcon().getPreferredSize().width;
f.getDesktopIcon().setBounds(r);
super.iconifyFrame(f);
}
});
desktop.add(createFrame("looooooooooooong title #", 1));
desktop.add(createFrame("#", 0));
return desktop;
}
private JInternalFrame createFrame(String t, int i) {
JInternalFrame f = new JInternalFrame(t + i, true, true, true, true);
f.setDesktopIcon(new JInternalFrame.JDesktopIcon(f) {
#Override public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
Dimension d = f.getMinimumSize();
String title = f.getTitle();
FontMetrics fm = getFontMetrics(getFont());
//Magic Number 16: margin?
d.width += SwingUtilities.computeStringWidth(fm, title) - 16;
return d;

Image switching in swing

My task is to switch two images after capturing mouse click, means when any user clicks on two images both should switch.
but somehow in my code not able to detect the mouse click,
imageAnimal = createImageIcon("Lion", "Lion");
Image scale = imageAnimal.getImage().getScaledInstance(200,200,Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
imageAnimal = new ImageIcon(scale);
image1Label = new JLabel("", imageAnimal, JLabel.CENTER);
imageMot = createImageIcon("car", "car");
Image scale = imageMot.getImage().getScaledInstance(200,200,Image.SCALE_SMOOTH);
imageMot = new ImageIcon(scale);
image1Label = new JLabel("", imageMot, JLabel.CENTER);
---Code to catch mouse event
public void switch() {
abstract class MouseListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(MouseEvent event){
boolean clicked = false;
JPanel imageClicked1;
JPanel imageClicked2 = (JPanel) event.getSource();
int numClicks = 0;
for(int i = 0; i < temp.size(); i++)
{
if(clicked)
{
numClicks++;
imageClicked1 = (JPanel) event.getSource();
if(numClicks == 2)
{
switchImages(imageClicked1, imageClicked2);
}
}
MAINpanel.repaint();
MAINpanel.revalidate();
}
}
public void switchImages(JPanel img1, JPanel img2)
{
//ArrayList<JPanel>sorted = new ArrayList<JPanel>();
JPanel t;
JPanel posValue, nextValue;
for(int i = 0; i < temp.size(); i++)
{
for(int k = 1; k < temp.size(); k++)
{
if(temp.get(i) == img1 && temp.get(k) == img2)
{
posValue = temp.get(k);
nextValue = temp.get(i);
t = temp.get(k);
posValue = temp.get(i);
nextValue = t;
}
}
}
for(int i = 0; i < 5; i++)
{
mainPanel.add(temp.get(i), BorderLayout.CENTER);
}
}
}
}

For better help sooner, post a Minimal, Complete, and Verifiable example or Short, Self Contained, Correct Example. See example below.
One way to get image(s) for an example is to hot link to images seen in this Q&A. See example below.
It seems to make no sense to declare and add the mouse listener within the switch method. But maybe an MCVE / SSCCE would make it clear.
MAINpanel.repaint(); Ouch.. Use labels to display the images! On switch, swap their ImageIcon instances. See example below.

JPanel doesn't react to MouseEvents?

I'm trying to create a "Tic Tac Toe" game. I've chosen to create a variation of JPanel to represent each square. The class beneath represents one of 9 panels that together make up my game board.
Now the problem I'm having is that when I click the panel a 'X' should be displayed inside of the panel, but nothing happens. I'd very much appreciate it if someone steered me in the right direction.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TicTacToePanel extends JPanel implements MouseListener {
private boolean isPlayer1Turn = true;
private boolean isUsed = false;
private JLabel ticTacLbl = new JLabel();
public TicTacToePanel() {
setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK));
addMouseListener(this);
}
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (!isUsed) {
if (isPlayer1Turn) {
ticTacLbl.setForeground(Color.red);
ticTacLbl.setText("X");
add(ticTacLbl, 0);
isUsed = true;
} else {
ticTacLbl.setForeground(Color.blue);
ticTacLbl.setText("O");
add(ticTacLbl, 0);
isUsed = true;
}
} else {
}
}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, new TicTacToePanel());
}
}
EDIT:
I simply added my label component in the constructor of my TicTacToePanel so that I no longer have to call revalidate() and I'm not adding components during runtime.
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
public class TicTacToePanel extends JPanel implements MouseListener{
private boolean isPlayer1Turn = true;
private boolean isUsed = false;
private JLabel ticTacLbl = new JLabel();
public TicTacToePanel(){
add(ticTacLbl, 0);
setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLACK));
addMouseListener(this);
}
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e){
}
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e){
if (!isUsed) {
if (isPlayer1Turn) {
ticTacLbl.setForeground(Color.red);
ticTacLbl.setText("X");
isUsed = true;
} else {
ticTacLbl.setForeground(Color.blue);
ticTacLbl.setText("O");
isUsed = true;
}
}
else{
}
}
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e){
}
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e){
}
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e){
}
public static void main(String[] args){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, new TicTacToePanel());
}
}
The GUI constructor:
public TicTacToeGUI(int gameMode){
if(gameMode == 0){
amountOfPanels = 9;
TicTacToePanel[] panelArr = new TicTacToePanel[amountOfPanels];
add(gamePanel, new GridLayout(3, 3));
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 100));
for(int i = 0; i < amountOfPanels; i++){
panelArr[i] = new TicTacToePanel();
gamePanel.add(panelArr[i]);
}
}
else if(gameMode == 1){
amountOfPanels = 225;
TicTacToePanel[] panelArr = new TicTacToePanel[amountOfPanels];
add(gamePanel, new GridLayout(15, 15));
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(500, 500));
for(int i = 0; i < amountOfPanels; i++){
panelArr[i] = new TicTacToePanel();
gamePanel.add(panelArr[i]);
}
}
}
public static void main(String[] args){
JOptionPane.showMessageDialog(null, new TicTacToeGUI(0));
}
}

When you add/remove components at runtime, always call revalidate() afterwards. revalidate() makes the component refresh/relayout.
So just call revalidate() after you add the label and it will work.

If you're goal is to create a Tic Tac Toe game, then you may wish to re-think your current strategy of adding components to the GUI on the fly. Much better would be to create a grid of components, say of JLabel, and place them on the JPanel at program start up. This way you can change the pressed JLabel's text and color, and even its Icon if you want to be fancy during program run without having to add or remove components. For example:
import javax.swing.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

Closeable JTabbedPane - alignment of the close button

I have implemented my own closeable JTabbedPane (essentially following advice from here - by extending JTabbedPane and overriding some methods and calling setTabComponentAt(...)). It works perfectly except one thing - when there are too many tabs to fit on one row (when there are 2 or more rows of tabs), the cross button/icon is not aligned to the right of the tab but it remains next to the tab title, which looks ugly. I've tried the demo from Java tutorials and it suffers from the same problem.
What I want is that the cross button/icon is always aligned to the very right, but the text is always aligned to the center. Can this be achieved by some layouting tricks? Note: I do not want to implement a custom TabbedPaneUI as this leads to other problems.
UPDATE I'm forced to use Java 6
The complete code is below, just run it and add 5 or more tabs.

I'm using this one: http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/examples/components/TabComponentsDemoProject/src/components/ButtonTabComponent.java
The close button is painted by this itself so if can be placed anywhere.

Toggle read-only in Java

Is there a way to toggle a read-only mode so when you click any object in your window it simply returns what you clicked, ignoring the object's usual event handling? IE, while in this "read-only" mode, if you click on a Button, it simply returns the button, not actually pressing the button. Then I could do something like:
if ("thing pressed" == button) "do this";
else if ("thing pressed" == panel) "do that";
else "do nothing";
Here's my code, its a frame with 3 colored boxes. Clicking the 2nd box, the 3rd box, or the background will display a message. Clicking box 1 does nothing. I like using new mouse adapters so I want to do it this way.
Now what I want is when you click box 1, box 1 is treated as selected (if that helps you get the picture). Then if you click anywhere, including box 1 again, box 1 is deselected and nothing else (meaning that box 2, box 3. or the background's message will display). At that time, only if box 2 or 3 were clicked, they will still not display their normal message but a different message would be displayed.
I'm very sorry if I come off a little short.

Don't disable anything. Simply change the state of your class, perhaps by using a few boolean flag variables/fields and change these flags depending on what is pressed.
So have boolean fields called label1PressedLast, label2PressedLast, and label3PressedLast or something similar, and when a label is pressed, check the states of all other flags and have your program's behavior change depending on the state of these flags and the label that was just pressed. Then set all flags to false except for the one corresponding to the label that was just pressed.
For example, this little program reacts only if the first and then the third JLabel have been pressed:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.awt.event.MouseListener;
import javax.swing.*;
public class FlagEg extends JPanel {
private static final int LABEL_COUNT = 3;
private JLabel[] labels = new JLabel[LABEL_COUNT];
private boolean[] flags = new boolean[LABEL_COUNT];
public FlagEg() {
setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 0, 20, 0));
setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(15, 15, 15, 15));
// panel mouse listener
addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
#Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent arg0) {
inactivateAll();
}
});
MouseListener labelsMouseListener = new MouseAdapter() {
#Override
public void mousePressed(MouseEvent mouseEvt) {
myMousePressed(mouseEvt);
}
};
// create JLabels and add MouseListener
for (int i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) {
labels[i] = new JLabel("Label " + (i + 1));
labels[i].addMouseListener(labelsMouseListener);
labels[i].setOpaque(true);
labels[i].setBorder(BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.black));
add(labels[i]);
}
}
private void inactivateAll() {
for (int i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) {
labels[i].setBackground(null);
flags[i] = false;
}
}
private void myMousePressed(MouseEvent mouseEvt) {
JLabel label = (JLabel) mouseEvt.getSource();
// which label was pressed?
int index = -1;
for (int i = 0; i < labels.length; i++) {
if (label == labels[i]) {
index = i;
}
}
// check if first label and then third pressed:
if (flags[0] && index == 2) {
System.out.println("first and then third label pressed!");
}
// reset all labels and flags to initial state
inactivateAll();
// set pressed label background color and set flag of label just pressed
labels[index].setBackground(Color.pink);
flags[index] = true;
}

Logic iteration two: only label 1 is the "primer" JLabel. This is actually easier to implement, because now you only need one boolean flag, that representing label 1 being pressed:

import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;

You could want to create a listener that do the job for using the putClientProperty method of JComponent.
public class JComponentClickCountListener extends MouseAdapter {
private final Integer ONE = 1;
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if (e.getComponent() instanceof JComponent) {
JComponent jComponent = (JComponent) e.getComponent();
Object property = jComponent.getClientProperty(JComponentClickCountListener.class);
if (property instanceof Number) {
property = ONE + ((Number) property).intValue();
}
else {
property = ONE;
}
jComponent.putClientProperty(JComponentClickCountListener.class, property);
}
}
}
Then in your code you can decide to have a single instace of that class for all of your components or create a new one each time.
This could give you the advantage of using the propertyChangeListener for future actions.
PS.
The code example do not represent all logic for OP question but i could by used as solid base. Later on i will try to update it. To cover that.
EDIT2:
I think that you should separate the logic, of selection and action over selected items. Then the task is divided into two tasks. First is the possibility to store the information about it state, clicked active, clicked again inactive. The second tasks it to operate on that status when a jComponent status was changed.
This is an simple example that i wrote, the functionality is to highlight the background of labels when the are selected and remove it when it was clicked again or the panel was clicked remove all selections.
This example is divided to three elements Enum, Iterface and class that manage the logic of selection
Enum - we store the possible statuses and a property key.
public enum JComponentActivationStatus {
NONE,
ACTIVE,
INACTIVE;
public static final String PROPERTY_KEY = JComponentActivationStatus.class.getCanonicalName();
}
Interface - provide a delegate for action to be taken when jcomponenet status change.
public abstract interface JComponenetActivationStatusChangeAction<T extends JComponent> {
public abstract void onActivation(T object);
public abstract void onDeactivation(T object);
}
Class - This class mange the status logic of jcomponents.
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener;
import javax.swing.JComponent;
public class JComponenetActivationManager {
public static <T extends JComponent> T addMouseStatusControl(T jComponent) {
jComponent.addMouseListener(new JComponentMouseStatusModyfier());
return jComponent;
}
public static <T extends JComponent> T addActivationStatusChangeAction(T jComponenet, JComponenetActivationStatusChangeAction<T> statusChangeAction) {
jComponenet.addPropertyChangeListener(craeteJCompositeActivationStatusChangeListener(statusChangeAction));
return jComponenet;
}
public static <T extends JComponent> PropertyChangeListener craeteJCompositeActivationStatusChangeListener(JComponenetActivationStatusChangeAction<T> action) {
return new JComponentStatusPropertyChangeListener<T>(action);
}
/**
* Class that set the status for the JComponet after doubClicl
*/
private final static class JComponentMouseStatusModyfier extends MouseAdapter {
#Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
if(e.getComponent() instanceof JComponent) {
JComponent jComponent = (JComponent) e.getComponent();
Object propertyValue = jComponent.getClientProperty(JComponentActivationStatus.PROPERTY_KEY);
if(JComponentActivationStatus.ACTIVE.equals(propertyValue)) { //We check that the ACTIVE status is already selected, if so we inactive.
propertyValue = JComponentActivationStatus.INACTIVE; //If so we inactive it.
} else {
propertyValue = JComponentActivationStatus.ACTIVE; // Otherwise we set it as active
}
jComponent.putClientProperty(JComponentActivationStatus.PROPERTY_KEY, propertyValue); // We use the property key form status
}
}
}
/**
* Help class that fire the actions after status is changed
*/
private static final class JComponentStatusPropertyChangeListener<T extends JComponent> implements PropertyChangeListener {
private final JComponenetActivationStatusChangeAction<T> statusChangeAction;
/**
*
*/
public JComponentStatusPropertyChangeListener(JComponenetActivationStatusChangeAction<T> statusChangeAction) {
if(statusChangeAction == null) {
throw new IllegalArgumentException("action can not be null at this point");
}
this.statusChangeAction = statusChangeAction;
}
#Override
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
if(JComponentActivationStatus.PROPERTY_KEY.equals(evt.getPropertyName())) {
if(JComponentActivationStatus.ACTIVE.equals(evt.getNewValue())) {
statusChangeAction.onActivation((T) evt.getSource());
}
if(JComponentActivationStatus.INACTIVE.equals(evt.getNewValue())){
statusChangeAction.onDeactivation((T) evt.getSource());
}
}
}
}
}
That class contain two public static method, that allow the developer to add the functionality to mange status to any jComponent object, add subscribe the action handler if any change occur.
At the end we have the main method that test our solution
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
JLabel l1 = new JLabel("Label 1");
JLabel l2 = new JLabel("Label 2");
JLabel l3 = new JLabel("Label 3");
panel.setBackground(Color.CYAN);
addMouseStatusControl(panel);
addMouseStatusControl(l1);
addMouseStatusControl(l2);
addMouseStatusControl(l3);
JComponenetActivationStatusChangeAction<JLabel> activeBackground = new JComponenetActivationStatusChangeAction<JLabel>() {
#Override
public void onActivation(JLabel object) {
object.setOpaque(true);
object.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
}
#Override
public void onDeactivation(JLabel object) {
object.setOpaque(false);
object.setBackground(object.getParent().getBackground());
}
};
JComponenetActivationStatusChangeAction<JPanel> deactivateChildrens = new JComponenetActivationStatusChangeAction<JPanel>() {
#Override
public void onDeactivation(JPanel object) {
}
#Override
public void onActivation(JPanel object) {
for(Component component : object.getComponents()) {
if(component instanceof JComponent) {
((JComponent) component).putClientProperty(JComponentActivationStatus.PROPERTY_KEY,JComponentActivationStatus.INACTIVE);
}
}
}
};
addActivationStatusChangeAction(l1, activeBackground);
addActivationStatusChangeAction(l2, activeBackground);
addActivationStatusChangeAction(l3, activeBackground);
addActivationStatusChangeAction(panel, deactivateChildrens);
panel.add(l1);
panel.add(l2);
panel.add(l3);
frame.add(panel);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
The solution is very flexible and extendable in case you will need to add more labels.
The example is for those that want to learn. Any comment would be appreciate.
