How to iconify a internal frame inside a container to a specific position

i want to iconify my internal frame to an adjacent panel of the main frame than the default left bottom corner of the main frame.
i am using a jdesktopframe and inside it internal frames.
i want to iconify the connection detail which is an interal frame the iconified icon should be present where the minimize button is and should not be at the left bottom of the main frame.
this is a sample code:
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.FlowLayout;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.HeadlessException;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.beans.PropertyVetoException;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JDesktopPane;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JInternalFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicInternalFrameTitlePane;
import javax.swing.plaf.basic.BasicInternalFrameUI;
public class MinPanel {
public MinPanel() throws HeadlessException, PropertyVetoException {
createAndShowGUI();
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable() {
#Override
public void run() {
try {
new MinPanel();
} catch (HeadlessException ex) {
} catch (PropertyVetoException ex) {
}
}
});
}
private void createAndShowGUI() throws HeadlessException, PropertyVetoException {
JFrame frame = new JFrame();
frame.setResizable(true);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
final JDesktopPane jdp = new JDesktopPane() {
#Override
public Dimension getPreferredSize() {
return new Dimension(400, 200);
}
};
frame.setContentPane(jdp);
frame.pack();
createAndAddInternalFrame(jdp, 0, 0);
createAndAddfixedpanel(jdp,200,0);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
private void createAndAddInternalFrame(final JDesktopPane jdp, int x, int y) throws PropertyVetoException {
final JInternalFrame jInternalFrame = new JInternalFrame("Test1", false, false, false, false);
jInternalFrame.setLocation(x, y);
jInternalFrame.setLayout(new GridLayout(2, 2));
jInternalFrame.setSize(200, 200);//testing
JButton jb = new JButton("min");
jInternalFrame.add(jb);
jb.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent ae) {
try {
jInternalFrame.setIcon(true);
} catch (PropertyVetoException ex) {
}
}
});
BasicInternalFrameTitlePane titlePane = (BasicInternalFrameTitlePane) ((BasicInternalFrameUI) jInternalFrame.getUI()).getNorthPane();
jInternalFrame.remove(titlePane);
jInternalFrame.setVisible(true);
jdp.add(jInternalFrame);
}
private void createAndAddfixedpanel(final JDesktopPane jdp, int x, int y)
{ JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setLocation(x, y);
panel.setLayout(new FlowLayout());
panel.setSize(200, 200);
JLabel label = new JLabel("JFrame By Example");
JButton button = new JButton();
button.setText("Button");
panel.add(label);
panel.add(button);
panel.setVisible(true);
jdp.add(panel);
}
}
I would also like to resize the main frame when the internal frame is minimizes and maximized

The trick is that you don't do the setLocation() or setBounds() stuff on the JInternalFrame object. This would move the pane, which is not be visible anymore when you "iconified" the internal frame. But instead you change the Icon which is now visible when you "iconified" the internal frame. To get the icon you use the getDesktopIcon() method on the JInternalFrame class. After that it's a simple call to the setLocation() call on the received JInternalFrame.JDesktopIcon object. You can use it like this:
frame.addInternalFrameListener(new InternalFrameAdapter() {
#Override
public void internalFrameIconified(InternalFrameEvent e) {
frame.getDesktopIcon().setLocation(frame.getLocation().x, frame.getLocation().y);
}
});
Obviously you have to calculate the correct position for yourself, where you want to have the icon positioned. This example only shows how to move the icon to the correct position, so it doesn't get opened in the bottom left corner.
You might want to add a similar event handler for the opposite internalFrameDeiconified event to open the original JInternalFrame panel where the icon is, not where the panel was before it was "iconified".

JTextField get no focus when in a heavy-weight popup

I want do display a text filed in a popup. When popup is completly over the application frame (MediumWeightPopup) - all works fine, but when a part of popup is outside of frame (HeavyWeightPopup) it cannot be focused. In this case caret is invisible and no text input is possible.
Here is my code:
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.Popup;
import javax.swing.PopupFactory;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
public class PopupTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frm = new JFrame("Popup test");
JPanel p = new JPanel();
p.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
Popup pop;
#Override
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
if (SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(e)) {
if (pop != null) {
pop.hide();
}
JPanel popupPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
JTextField field = new JTextField(20);
popupPanel.add(field);
pop = PopupFactory.getSharedInstance().getPopup(p, popupPanel, e.getXOnScreen(), e.getYOnScreen());
pop.show();
System.out.println("Popup type: " + pop.getClass().getName());
System.out.println("Can get focus? " + field.requestFocusInWindow());
}
}
});
frm.add(p);
frm.setSize(500, 300);
frm.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frm.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frm.setVisible(true);
}
}
On right click near to right border of window I get a non-focusable text field. The same problem I get with any other component in popup that allows key control (for example JTable).
How can I focus a component in a HeavyWeightPopup?

I also struggled with this years ago. I can't figure out how to give initial focus to a component on the popup. Here are some of my questions/observations:
What is the Popup class used for?
I always thought that a Popup should have some basic functionality, such as the pupup should close when:
a) the escape key is pressed
b) the popup loses focus
The popup class provides none of the above functionality and in fact seems to require some obscure code to even get the keyboard focus to work properly.
Using a JWindow seems to provide the same functionality as a Popup.
JPopupMenu seems to support both of the above requirements.
Run the following program:
a) click on each of the buttons
b) click on an empty part of the frame
It appears to me that whenever you need a "popup" you should use a JPopupMenu.
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.text.*;
public class PopupTest extends JFrame
{
String[] numbers = { "one", "two", "three", "four", "five" };
public PopupTest()
{
getContentPane().setLayout( new FlowLayout() );
getContentPane().setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
JButton popup = new JButton("Popup as Popup");
popup.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
popupPopup(e);
}
});
getContentPane().add(popup);
JButton window = new JButton("Window as Popup");
window.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
windowPopup(e);
}
});
getContentPane().add(window);
JButton menu = new JButton("PopupMenu as Popup");
menu.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
menuPopup(e);
}
});
getContentPane().add(menu);
}
private void popupPopup(ActionEvent e)
{
JList list = new JList(numbers);
list.setSelectedIndex(0);
PopupFactory factory = PopupFactory.getSharedInstance();
Popup popup = factory.getPopup(this, list, getLocation().x, getLocation().y+100);
//popup.show();
Window window = SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(list);
if (window != null)
{
window.setFocusableWindowState(true);
}
popup.show();
KeyboardFocusManager.getCurrentKeyboardFocusManager().focusNextComponent(list);
}
private void windowPopup(ActionEvent e)
{
JList list = new JList(numbers);
list.setSelectedIndex(0);
JWindow window = new JWindow(this);
window.getContentPane().add(list);
window.pack();
window.setVisible(true);
window.setLocation(getLocation().x + 200, getLocation().y+100);
window.addWindowListener( new WindowAdapter()
{
public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent e)
{
System.out.println("deactivated");
}
});
}
private void menuPopup(ActionEvent e)
{
JList list = new JList(numbers);
list.setSelectedIndex(0);
JPopupMenu menu = new JPopupMenu();
menu.add( new JTextField(10) );
menu.add( list );
menu.show((Component)e.getSource(), 0, 100);
}
private static void createAndShowGUI()
{
JFrame frame = new PopupTest();
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation( JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE );
frame.setSize(500, 200);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo( null );
frame.setVisible( true );
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater( () -> createAndShowGUI() );
/*
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
createAndShowGUI();
}
});
*/
}
}
Edit:
Based on Sergiy's answer, this code was close to working. The difference in the popupPopup() method is that the show() method needs to be invoked AFTER the window is made focusable. Code updated to reflect this change.

Source code analyse brought me another solution
pop = PopupFactory.getSharedInstance().getPopup(p, popupPanel, e.getXOnScreen(), e.getYOnScreen());
// some new stuff
Window win = SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(popupPanel);
if (win instanceof JWindow && win.getType() == Window.Type.POPUP) {
win.setFocusableWindowState(true);
}
// continue old stuff
pop.show();
So the complete example looks like
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Window;
import java.awt.event.MouseAdapter;
import java.awt.event.MouseEvent;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JTextField;
import javax.swing.JWindow;
import javax.swing.Popup;
import javax.swing.PopupFactory;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
import javax.swing.WindowConstants;
public class PopupTest {
public static void main(String[] args) {
JFrame frm = new JFrame("Popup test");
JPanel p = new JPanel();
p.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
Popup pop;
#Override
public void mouseReleased(MouseEvent e) {
if (SwingUtilities.isRightMouseButton(e)) {
if (pop != null) {
pop.hide();
}
JPanel popupPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout());
JTextField field = new JTextField(20);
popupPanel.add(field);
pop = PopupFactory.getSharedInstance().getPopup(p, popupPanel, e.getXOnScreen(), e.getYOnScreen());
Window win = SwingUtilities.windowForComponent(popupPanel);
if (win instanceof JWindow && win.getType() == Window.Type.POPUP) {
win.setFocusableWindowState(true);
}
pop.show();
System.out.println("Popup type: " + pop.getClass().getName());
System.out.println("Can get focus? " + field.requestFocusInWindow());
}
}
});
frm.add(p);
frm.setSize(500, 300);
frm.setDefaultCloseOperation(WindowConstants.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frm.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frm.setVisible(true);
}
}
Interesting: the call field.requestFocusInWindow() still returns false, but field gets focus anyway.
BTW: this solution is also better for me because in my real code I get the Popup from a JComboBox (my goal is to create JTableComboBox with a table in popup and an optional filter field on top of the table).

How to Close JInternalFrame when JButton click and show another JInternalFrame?

For Example:
When JButton1 click JInternalFrame1 Show on the JDesktopPane
And when JButton2 Click JInternalFrame1 Close and JInternalFrame2 Show on the JDesktopPane.
thx before
Edit: with code from comment
if (JInternalFrame1 == null) {
JInternalFrame1 = new FJInternalFrame();
Desktop.add(JInternalFrame1);
JInternalFrame1.toFront();
} else {
JInternalFrame1.dispose();
}

Take a look at this example. I created a custom JInternalFrame that has a different title every time you create a new frame. when you click on the button, a new one is created and the old one disapears
Here is the important code that may help you out. I add a new frame if the desktop size is equal to 0, other wise I remove the previous one, add a new frame, and revalidate
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (desktop.getAllFrames().length == 0) {
desktop.add(new MyInternalFrame());
} else {
desktop.remove(0);
desktop.add(new MyInternalFrame());
revalidate();
repaint();
}
}
});
Here is the complete code. It's two different files.

JButton button;
public InternalFrameDemo1() {
desktop = new JDesktopPane();
button = new JButton("Get Next Frame");
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(desktop, BorderLayout.CENTER);
add(button, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (desktop.getAllFrames().length == 0) {
desktop.add(new MyInternalFrame());
} else {

}
}
});

Java Swings Select Tab

I have 4 JPanels. In one of the panel I have a combo Box.Upon selecting "Value A" in combo box Panel2 should be displayed.Similarly if I select "Value B" Panel3 should be selected....
Though action Listener should be used in this context.How to make a call to another tab with in that action listener.
public class SearchComponent
{
....
.
public SearchAddComponent(....)
{
panel = addDropDown(panelList(), "panel", gridbag, h6Box);
panel.addComponentListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
ItemSelectable is = (ItemSelectable)actionEvent.getSource();
Object name=selectedString(is);
}
});
}
public static final Vector<String> panelList(){
List<String> panelList = new ArrayList<String>();
panelList.add("A");
panelList.add("B");
panelList.add("C");
panelList.add("D");
panelList.add("E");
panelList.add("F);
Vector<String> panelVector = null;
Collections.copy(panelVector, panelList);
return panelVector;
}
public Object selectedString(ItemSelectable is) {
Object selected[] = is.getSelectedObjects();
return ((selected.length == 0) ? "null" : (ComboItem)selected[0]);
}
}

Use a Card Layout. See the Swing tutorial on How to Use a Card Layout for a working example.

Java EventHandling

When I compile it show error in line 33 : Cannot find symbol.
I am calling jbtNew.addActionListener(listener), so why it's unable to find jbtNew in
(e.getSource() == jbtNew) in line 33.
from code
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class AnonymousListenerDemo extends JFrame {
public AnonymousListenerDemo() {
// Create four buttons
JButton jbtNew = new JButton("New");
JButton jbtOpen = new JButton("Open");
JButton jbtSave = new JButton("Save");
JButton jbtPrint = new JButton("Print");
// Create a panel to hold buttons
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.add(jbtNew);
panel.add(jbtOpen);
panel.add(jbtSave);
panel.add(jbtPrint);
add(panel);
// Create and register anonymous inner-class listener
AnonymousListenerDemo.ButtonListener listener = new AnonymousListenerDemo.ButtonListener();
jbtNew.addActionListener(listener);
}
class ButtonListener implements ActionListener {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
if (e.getSource() == jbtNew) //Here it show the problem
{
System.out.println("Process New");
}
}
}
/** Main method */

frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}

That's a local variable.
It doesn't exist outside the constructor.
You need to make a field in the class.

this could be work (in the form as you posted here) and #SLaks mentioned +1, with a few major changes
in the case that all methods will be placed into separated classes to use put/getClientProperty()
