How to stop JDialog from closing when you hit the Enter key?

I am trying to stop my JDialog from closing when the Enter key is pushed. I have already tried using getRootPane().setDefaultButton(null); but it is still not working. I am calling this constructor for my JDialog from the main JFrame. Here is my code:
public class CustomSaleDialog extends JDialog {
private final JPanel contentPanel = new JPanel();
private JTextField txtScanBarcode;
private JTextField txtNumSold;
private String barcode;
private int numTickets;
public void setNumTickets(int num) {
numTickets = num;
}
public void setBarCode(String code) {
barcode = code;
}
public int getNumTickets() {
return numTickets;
}
public String getBarCode() {
return barcode;
}
public CustomSaleDialog(JFrame f) {
getRootPane().setDefaultButton(null); //This is what I tried
setTitle("Custom Sale");
setBounds(100, 100, 450, 300);
setDefaultCloseOperation(JDialog.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
setModalityType(ModalityType.APPLICATION_MODAL);
getContentPane().setLayout(new BorderLayout());
contentPanel.setBorder(new EmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
getContentPane().add(contentPanel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
contentPanel.setLayout(null);
{
JLabel lblMakeACustom = new JLabel("Make a Custom Sale");
lblMakeACustom.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 25));
lblMakeACustom.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
lblMakeACustom.setBounds(10, 11, 414, 44);
contentPanel.add(lblMakeACustom);
}
{
JLabel lblScanTicket = new JLabel("Scan Ticket");
lblScanTicket.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 20));
lblScanTicket.setBounds(20, 73, 102, 20);
contentPanel.add(lblScanTicket);
}
{
JLabel lblNumberOfTickets = new JLabel("Number of Tickets Being Sold");
lblNumberOfTickets.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.PLAIN, 20));
lblNumberOfTickets.setBounds(20, 136, 262, 25);
contentPanel.add(lblNumberOfTickets);
}
{
txtScanBarcode = new JTextField();
txtScanBarcode.setBounds(132, 73, 284, 20);
contentPanel.add(txtScanBarcode);
txtScanBarcode.setColumns(10);
}
{
txtNumSold = new JTextField();
txtNumSold.setBounds(292, 141, 124, 20);
contentPanel.add(txtNumSold);
txtNumSold.setColumns(10);
}
{
JPanel buttonPane = new JPanel();
buttonPane.setLayout(new FlowLayout(FlowLayout.RIGHT));
getContentPane().add(buttonPane, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
{
JButton okButton = new JButton("OK");
okButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
barcode = txtScanBarcode.getText();
String numTickets = txtNumSold.getText();
int numTicketsInt = 0;
if (barcode.length() > 0
&& numTickets.matches("[0-9]+")
&& numTickets.length() >= 1) {
numTicketsInt = Integer.parseInt(numTickets);
setBarCode(barcode);
setNumTickets(numTicketsInt);
}
setVisible(false);
dispose();
}
});
okButton.setActionCommand("OK");
buttonPane.add(okButton);
getRootPane().setDefaultButton(okButton);
}
{
JButton cancelButton = new JButton("Cancel");
cancelButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
setVisible(false);
dispose();
}
});
cancelButton.setActionCommand("Cancel");
buttonPane.add(cancelButton);
}
}
setLocationRelativeTo(f);
setVisible(true);
}
}

And you forget to remove...
getRootPane().setDefaultButton(okButton);
This...
is why you don't use null layouts

Set focusable method or something like this that focuses to false.

remove this line getRootPane().setDefaultButton(okButton); it should work :)

How can I resize my JTextFields in my Jpanel

being new to programming, i'm having a slight issue resizing the text fields I've added to the JPanel. While I could go the route of creating individual panels with their own text field, I though it would be better to add all the components into one panel. Part of my overall idea is to have my add button reference the panel, containing the text fields, to add more text fields on the tracker for users to fill out, and while I can get the fields to display when I implement the setBounds method on my panel object, i'm having tough time figuring out how resize them in the panel itself. And if you have any other advice on my overall structure, I welcome it.

primary.setBounds(50, 110, 128, 20);
frame.getContentPane().add(primary);
}
}

Let's concentrate on the code that's causing the problem, and only that code. I've created a minimal example program, one that has enough code to compile and run, and that demonstrates the problem, but that has no unnecessary code:
import javax.swing.*;
public class UiFoo {
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("Foo");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.setLayout(null); // **** no!! ****
JPanel primary = new JPanel();
JTextField NameField = new JTextField();
JTextField CheckOutField = new JTextField();
JTextField CheckInField = new JTextField();
JTextField EmailField = new JTextField();
primary.add(NameField);
primary.add(CheckOutField);
primary.add(CheckInField);
primary.add(EmailField);
primary.setBounds(50, 110, 128, 20);
frame.getContentPane().add(primary);
frame.setSize(600, 250);
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
});
}
}
So, if you run this code, you'll see 4 very small JTextFields. Why are they so small? Because you've not set the columns property for the JTextFields, and so they default to columns size 0 and show up like so:
So it's better if you can give the JTextField a columns property so that they have some width, e.g., make this change:
JPanel primary = new JPanel();
int columns = 8;
JTextField NameField = new JTextField(columns);
JTextField CheckOutField = new JTextField(columns);
JTextField CheckInField = new JTextField(columns);
JTextField EmailField = new JTextField();
But this just shows one JTextField, and cuts off the bottom as well:
Why? Because you're artificially constraining the size of the containing JPanel, primary via:
primary.setBounds(50, 110, 128, 20);
This containing JPanel is only 128 pixels wide by 20 pixels high, meaning that it won't even display one JTextField well.
One solution is to use a mix of layout managers and JPanels as well as a JScrollPane to allow for a grid of JPanels to be added, something like so (try it out!):
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import javax.swing.*;
#SuppressWarnings("serial")
public class UiFoo2 extends JPanel {
JPanel singleColumnPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0, 1, 2, 2));
public UiFoo2() {
JButton addButton = new JButton("Add");
addButton.addActionListener(e -> {
JPanel rowPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, 4, 2, 2));
for (int i = 0; i < 4; i++) {
rowPanel.add(new JTextField(8));
}
singleColumnPanel.add(rowPanel);
singleColumnPanel.revalidate();
singleColumnPanel.repaint();
});
JPanel buttonPanel = new JPanel();
buttonPanel.add(addButton);
JPanel labelPanel = new JPanel(new GridLayout(1, 4, 2, 2));
labelPanel.add(new JLabel("Name", SwingConstants.CENTER));
labelPanel.add(new JLabel("Check Out Date", SwingConstants.CENTER));
labelPanel.add(new JLabel("Check In Date", SwingConstants.CENTER));
labelPanel.add(new JLabel("Email", SwingConstants.CENTER));
singleColumnPanel.add(labelPanel);
JPanel containerPanel = new JPanel(new BorderLayout(5, 5));
containerPanel.add(singleColumnPanel, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
JScrollPane scrollPane = new JScrollPane(containerPanel);
scrollPane.setVerticalScrollBarPolicy(JScrollPane.VERTICAL_SCROLLBAR_ALWAYS);
setBorder(BorderFactory.createEmptyBorder(5, 5, 5, 5));
setPreferredSize(new Dimension(650, 400));
setLayout(new BorderLayout());
add(scrollPane, BorderLayout.CENTER);
add(buttonPanel, BorderLayout.PAGE_END);
}
private static void createAndShowGui() {
UiFoo2 mainPanel = new UiFoo2();
JFrame frame = new JFrame("UiFoo2");
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().add(mainPanel);
frame.pack();
frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
frame.setVisible(true);
}
public static void main(String[] args) {
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(() -> createAndShowGui());
}
}
This will create a row JPanel that holds four JTextFields that get added to the JScrollPane when the add JButton is pressed, and looks like so:
but we still can do better. Why not instead create a class to hold a row of data, something like so:
import java.util.Date;
public class Form48Customer {
private String name;
private Date checkIn;
private Date checkOut;
private String Email;
public Form48Customer(String name, Date checkIn, Date checkOut, String email) {
this.name = name;
this.checkIn = checkIn;
this.checkOut = checkOut;
Email = email;
}
public Date getCheckIn() {
return checkIn;
}
public void setCheckIn(Date checkIn) {
this.checkIn = checkIn;
}
public Date getCheckOut() {
return checkOut;
}
public void setCheckOut(Date checkOut) {
this.checkOut = checkOut;
}
public String getName() {
return name;
}
public String getEmail() {
return Email;
}
// should override hashCode and equals here
}
and then create a JTable complete with custom model to display objects of this type, and then display them in the GUI. This is much cleaner, more flexible, and extendable. Something like so:
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener;
import java.text.*;
import java.util.Date;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.JFormattedTextField.AbstractFormatter;
import javax.swing.table.*;

Something strange happened to me. For some reason, it takes a long time(1.60900 seconds) till it runs the following line:

This only happens in one window (Jframe). In others it does not happen.

Something strange happened to me. For some reason, it takes a long time(5 second~) till it runs the following line: Run this class and give me the result:

plMortgage Calculator GUI Issue with A Lot

I am having a lot of issues with this application. I have been at this all day and cannot get this figured out. I have a Java application that is for a class. The issue that I am having is trying to get the JRadioButtons assigned to variables in the array then passing them into the formula. If someone could help I would appreciate it a lot.

Shoot, I'll show you in an example of what I meant in my last comment:
Myself, I'd create an array of JRadioButtons as a class field for each group that I used as well as a ButtonGroup object for each cluster of JRadioButtons. Then in my calculate JButton's ActionListener, I'd get the selected radiobutton by either looping through the radio button array or from the ButtonGroups getSelection method (note though that this returns a ButtonModel object or null if nothing is selected).

Whatever you do, don't try to copy and paste any of this code into your program, because it simply isn't going to work that way (on purpose). It was posted only to illustrate the concepts that I've discussed above.

I would extend JRadioButton to create a class capable of holding the variables you want. You can do this as an inner class to keep things simple.
private double pctinterest;
private int numyears; // within scope of your containing class
private class RadioButtonWithYears extends JRadioButton {
final private int years;
private int getYears() { return years; }
public RadioButtonWithYears(int years) {
super(years + " years",false);
this.years = years;
addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
numyears = getYears();
}
});
}
}
// elsewhere
RadioButtonWithYears b7Yr = new RadioButtonWithYears(7);
RadioButtonWithYears b15Yr = new RadioButtonWithYears(15);
RadioButtonWithYears b30Yr = new RadioButtonWithYears(30);
// then later
double M_Interest = java.lang.Math.pow((pctinternet / 100)+1, numyears);
Update: It isn't too far gone to salvage. I have incorporated the ButtonGroup as per Eels suggestion, and made the GUI part of it work (although you'll have to fix the layout) and marked where you need to sort out the calculation.
