I have 2 windows at the moment. After a user clicks on the Submit button, the Main window appears but it appears as such:
The codes are:
LoginForm.java
package interfaceGUI;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JPasswordField;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import java.awt.Button;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
public class LoginForm extends JFrame{
private JLabel loginEmail;
private JLabel loginPass;
private JTextField loginTextField;
private JPasswordField loginPassField;
private JButton submit;
private JPanel loginArea;
private JPanel buttonArea;
public LoginForm()
{
super("Party Supplies Rental");
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
loginEmail = new JLabel("Enter Your Email Address: ");
loginTextField = new JTextField(20);
loginPass = new JLabel("Enter Your Password: ");
loginPassField = new JPasswordField(20);
loginArea = new JPanel();
loginArea.setLayout(new GridLayout(2,2));
loginArea.add(loginEmail); //add to the JPanel
loginArea.add(loginTextField);
loginArea.add(loginPass);
loginArea.add(loginPassField);
add(loginArea); //add JPanel to the frame
submit = new JButton("Submit");
buttonArea = new JPanel();
buttonArea.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,2));
buttonArea.add(submit);
add(buttonArea);
ButtonHandler handler= new ButtonHandler();
submit.addActionListener(handler);
}
public class ButtonHandler implements ActionListener
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
{
if(event.getSource() == submit)
{
dispose();
new Main().setVisible(true);
}
}
}
}
And Main.java:
package interfaceGUI;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JPasswordField;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import java.awt.Button;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
public class Main extends JFrame{
private JLabel label;
private JPanel forLabel;
private JButton birthdayCategory;
private JButton summerCategory;
private JButton halloweenCategory;
private JPanel forCategory;
public Main()
{
super("Home");
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
label = new JLabel("Choose the Party Category");
forLabel = new JPanel();
forLabel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3));
forLabel.add(label);
add(forLabel);
birthdayCategory = new JButton("Birthday Party");
summerCategory = new JButton("Summer/Festive Party");
halloweenCategory = new JButton("Halloween Party");
forCategory = new JPanel();
forCategory.setLayout(new GridLayout(1,3));
forCategory.add(birthdayCategory);
forCategory.add(summerCategory);
forCategory.add(halloweenCategory);
add(forCategory);
}
}
The testMain.java:
package interfaceGUI;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
public class testMain {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Main myFrame = new Main();
myFrame.setSize(300,200); //not working
myFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
myFrame.setVisible(true);
}
}
Can anybody suggest me what's wrong? Thanks.
I wouldn't call setSize() but rather would let my components and the layout managers set their own sizes by calling pack(). Occasionally you might want to override a component's getPreferredSize() but if you do so, do it with extreme care.
Calling pack() does seem to work for me with your code:
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JPasswordField;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class TestMain {
private static void createAndShowGui() {
LoginForm loginForm = new LoginForm();
loginForm.pack();
loginForm.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
public void run() {
createAndShowGui();
}
});
}
}
class LoginForm extends JFrame {
private JLabel loginEmail;
private JLabel loginPass;
private JTextField loginTextField;
private JPasswordField loginPassField;
private JButton submit;
private JPanel loginArea;
private JPanel buttonArea;
public LoginForm() {
super("Party Supplies Rental");
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
loginEmail = new JLabel("Enter Your Email Address: ");
loginTextField = new JTextField(20);
loginPass = new JLabel("Enter Your Password: ");
loginPassField = new JPasswordField(20);
loginArea = new JPanel();
loginArea.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, 2));
loginArea.add(loginEmail); // add to the JPanel
loginArea.add(loginTextField);
loginArea.add(loginPass);
loginArea.add(loginPassField);
add(loginArea); // add JPanel to the frame
submit = new JButton("Submit");
buttonArea = new JPanel();
buttonArea.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 2));
buttonArea.add(submit);
add(buttonArea);
ButtonHandler handler = new ButtonHandler();
submit.addActionListener(handler);
}
public class ButtonHandler implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
if (event.getSource() == submit) {
dispose();
Main main = new Main();
main.pack();
main.setVisible(true);
}
}
}
}
class Main extends JFrame {
private JLabel label;
private JPanel forLabel;
private JButton birthdayCategory;
private JButton summerCategory;
private JButton halloweenCategory;
private JPanel forCategory;
public Main() {
super("Home");
setLayout(new FlowLayout());
label = new JLabel("Choose the Party Category");
forLabel = new JPanel();
forLabel.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 3));
forLabel.add(label);
add(forLabel);
birthdayCategory = new JButton("Birthday Party");
summerCategory = new JButton("Summer/Festive Party");
halloweenCategory = new JButton("Halloween Party");
forCategory = new JPanel();
forCategory.setLayout(new GridLayout(1, 3));
forCategory.add(birthdayCategory);
forCategory.add(summerCategory);
forCategory.add(halloweenCategory);
add(forCategory);
}
}
Note that if this were my project, I'd change it to use a CardLayout to swap views, something like:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.CardLayout;
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Font;
import java.awt.GridBagConstraints;
import java.awt.GridBagLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.Insets;
import java.awt.Window;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener;
import javax.swing.*;

Suggestions:
Make your list variable a field, not a local variable, or else make it a final local variable so that it is accessible inside of the anonymous ActionListener.
Obtain the selected list item in your ActionListener where you launch the 2nd window.
Pass that String into your PanelTest object via a String parameter.
The second window should be a dialog such as a JDialog, not a JFrame.
As an aside, you'll rarely want to have your GUI classes extend top level windows such as JFrames or JDialogs as that greatly limits the flexibility of your GUI code.
For example,
import java.awt.Component;
import java.awt.Dialog.ModalityType;
import java.awt.Window;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import javax.swing.*;

after add logo in application JTextArea not shown
Reason is this Line:
logo.setBounds(100, 100, 150,150);
getContentPane().add(logo);
setBounds wont work with the layouts of Swing components. So when you are adding the logo in container of JFrame it is adding it to the center , hiding out the JTextArea added in center.
So, I have a problem. I have a JPanel(BoxLayout, Y_AXIS). In it, I have JLabel, and JTextArea. JTextArea expands freely as I fill it with text, expanding the JPanel with it.
JLabel expands to. That is okay as long the text is vertically aligned to the top. But that command doesn't work for some reason (setVerticalTextPosition, setVerticalAlignment, setAlignmentX). I think the first one is acctually a bug within Java.
Since that didn't work, I tried glueing JLabel to the top border.
I have also set all three setXXSize to sam value to keep the size of JLabel constant.
But it just wont stick, depending on the layout it either snaps to the center or just fills the whole JPanel.
Now, I don't care how, but all I need is a couple of letters that are top-aligned in the space occupied with JLabel (I can even use another JTextComponent, if it will make any difference). Is there a way to do that?
I'd provide you with code, but it's pretty much what I have written above, and since the JPanel is a part of more complex GUI, I'd really have to give you the whole code...
(Which I will, if it will be needed.)

This is the best I can do, refer to Question class for issue.
To get GUI drawn, run it, pres ctrl+n, and then enter.
As I understood you want to achieve this:
If that is true, all you have to do is this:
numberArea.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
and
numberArea.add(number,BorderLayout.NORTH);
As brano88 suggests, change layout manager...

numberArea.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
number = new JLabel(pageNum + ".", JLabel.RIGHT);
number.setMinimumSize(new Dimension(100, 20));
number.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(100, 20));
number.setMaximumSize(new Dimension(100, 20));
//number.setAlignmentX(TOP_ALIGNMENT);
number.setFont(new Font("Arial", Font.PLAIN, 18));
number.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
numberArea.add(number);
//numberArea.add(new Box.Filler(new Dimension(40, 0), new Dimension(40, 30), new Dimension(40, 300)), BorderLayout.CENTER);
