Unable to make JDialog modal - java

I am trying to open a new JDialog when the "Register" Button is clicked..
But I am unable to make the JDialog modal..
I have tried setModal(true) and also setModalityType(ModalityType.DOCUMENT_MODAL);
But no luck..(I am using Eclipse's WindowBuilder plugin)

Try making the dialog modal BEFORE you try and make it visible. You can't change the modal state once the dialog is made visible...
JDialog jd=new JDialog(loginpage.this,"User Registration");
jd.setModal(true);
jd.setLayout(null); // THIS IS A BAD IDEA //
jd.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
// This is somewhat pointless, you've set relative location, but know overridden it...
// You should also be relying on the layout manager and pack to determine the size...
jd.setBounds(400,300, 479, 329);
jd.setResizable(false);
setLocationRelativeTo(loginpage.this);
// Add you other components
jd.setVisible(true);

How to display multiple jpassword field in pop up in swing java?

I have 2 JTextField and 2 JPasswordField component in my swing java which frame looks as below:
When ShowAllDetails button is clicked, all the entered details is displayed in JtextArea as shown below:
Below is the code for the same:
package popUpTest;
import java.awt.EventQueue;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
public class PopUpTest
{
private JFrame frame;
private JPasswordField passSourcePassword;
private JTextField txtSourceUserName;
private JTextField txtTargetUserName;
private JPasswordField passTargetPassword;
/**
* Launch the application.
*/
public static void main(String[] args)
{
EventQueue.invokeLater(new Runnable()
{
public void run()
{
try
{
PopUpTest window = new PopUpTest();
window.frame.setVisible(true);
} catch (Exception e)
{
e.printStackTrace();
}
}
});
}
/**
* Create the application.
*/
public PopUpTest()
{
initialize();
}
/**
* Initialize the contents of the frame.
*/
private void initialize()
{
frame = new JFrame();
frame.setBounds(100, 100, 444, 403);
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
frame.getContentPane().setLayout(null);
JLabel lblSourceUserName = new JLabel("SourceUserName:");
lblSourceUserName.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.BOLD, 16));
lblSourceUserName.setBounds(15, 62, 170, 20);
frame.getContentPane().add(lblSourceUserName);
passSourcePassword = new JPasswordField();
passSourcePassword.setBounds(15, 153, 147, 26);
frame.getContentPane().add(passSourcePassword);
JLabel lblSourcePassword = new JLabel("SourcePassword:");
lblSourcePassword.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.BOLD, 16));
lblSourcePassword.setBounds(15, 132, 147, 20);
frame.getContentPane().add(lblSourcePassword);
txtSourceUserName = new JTextField();
txtSourceUserName.setBounds(16, 81, 146, 26);
frame.getContentPane().add(txtSourceUserName);
txtSourceUserName.setColumns(10);
JLabel lblTargetUserName = new JLabel("TargetUserName:");
lblTargetUserName.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.BOLD, 16));
lblTargetUserName.setBounds(240, 62, 170, 20);
frame.getContentPane().add(lblTargetUserName);
txtTargetUserName = new JTextField();
txtTargetUserName.setColumns(10);
txtTargetUserName.setBounds(241, 81, 146, 26);
frame.getContentPane().add(txtTargetUserName);
JLabel lblTargetPassword = new JLabel("TargetPassword:");
lblTargetPassword.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.BOLD, 16));
lblTargetPassword.setBounds(240, 132, 147, 20);
frame.getContentPane().add(lblTargetPassword);
passTargetPassword = new JPasswordField();
passTargetPassword.setBounds(240, 153, 147, 26);
frame.getContentPane().add(passTargetPassword);
JLabel lblEnterBelowDetails = new JLabel("Enter Below Details:");
lblEnterBelowDetails.setFont(new Font("Tahoma", Font.BOLD, 16));
lblEnterBelowDetails.setBounds(15, 26, 187, 20);
frame.getContentPane().add(lblEnterBelowDetails);
JTextArea textArea = new JTextArea();
textArea.setBounds(15, 252, 365, 85);
frame.getContentPane().add(textArea);
JButton btnShowAllDetails = new JButton("Show All Details:");
btnShowAllDetails.setBounds(15, 207, 226, 29);
frame.getContentPane().add(btnShowAllDetails);
btnShowAllDetails.addActionListener(new ActionListener()
{
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent arg0)
{
textArea.append(txtSourceUserName.getText() + "\n");
textArea.append(passSourcePassword.getText() + "\n");
textArea.append(txtTargetUserName.getText() + "\n");
textArea.append(passTargetPassword.getText() + "\n");
}
});
}
}
Now instead of diplaying these 4 components on loading the main frame instead, i want to diplay these 4 components in a Pop up Window on click of a button as below:
Also on clicking of Show All Details button should work as before.(i.e. it should populate JtextArea with the values entered in Pop Up)
How can I achieve this?
I have gone through other blogs as well however didn't find to show such multiple JPasswordField/JTextField in popup.Any guidance would be highly appreciated.
Just add the new components (JTextFields and JPasswordFields) within a button listener and call repaint() and revalidate() on the frame after that.
Here is a solution without proper layout:

add dynamic checkbox in java windowbuilder

I want to add a dynamic checkbox after selecting an item in combo box.
I am working on eclipse and design my frame on window builder.
final JComboBox<String> comboBox = new JComboBox<String>();
comboBox.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
String typeName = comboBox.getSelectedItem().toString();
for (int i = 0; i < SqlQuery.getCoursesName(typeName).size(); i++) {
JCheckBox c = new JCheckBox(SqlQuery.getCoursesName(typeName).get(i));
c.setVisible(true);
coursePanel.add(c);
frame.repaint();
frame.validate();
System.out.println(c.getText());
}
}
});
comboBox.setBounds(208, 221, 91, 20);
frame.getContentPane().add(comboBox);

Hope you understand what I wrote. I want to show a list of coursesName after click on the comboBox.
Why the frame does'nt show the checkbox?
Thank you.
First and foremost. The comboBox.setBounds() is a very bad practice. Take some time and see Layout Managers. Also add 'swing' tag in your post since you are referring to Swing library.
The frame doesn't show the component because you repaint the wrong one. You add the checkbox in coursePanel, which means you have to repaint() & revalidate() coursePanel. So coursePanel.repaint() instead of frame.repaint() will help you.
Also checkBox.setVisible(true)is not required, since checkBox is visible by default.
Finally i have added the way of how i would do it.

private JPanel createPanel() {
JPanel p = new JPanel(new FlowLayout());
checkBox = new JCheckBox("I am a checkbox"); //Create the checkbox
JComboBox<String> combo = new JComboBox<>();
combo.addItem("Hello");
combo.addItem("Stack");
combo.addItem("OverFlow");
combo.addActionListener(e -> {
//Its better to handle indices when there is not dynmic data to your combobox
int selectedIndex = combo.getSelectedIndex();
boolean isInPanel = checkBox.getParent() == p;
if (selectedIndex == 1 && !isInPanel) {
p.add(checkBox);
p.repaint(); //Repaint the proper panel that has this component.
p.revalidate();
} else if (isInPanel && selectedIndex != 1) {

Another option is to create the checkbox as a field outside of the actionlistener (like i did) and set its bounds with window builder and use setVisible(false). Then on your listener, setVisible(true)

Exported GUI project won't open/run, exported using eclipse oxygen Java

I've been having trouble with exporting my GUI project from Eclipse Oxygen. At first I tried exporting my project by going to export>Runnable Jar File>Main Class, but when I try and open my program nothing shows up. Then I tried opening the GUI inside its own class by specifying a Main method in there, and I keep getting the error that I put in the title. Any help would be appreciated. I'll post both of my classes here.
Also I used WindowBuilder plugin to build my GUI.

Turns out that winrar does not like runnable jar files. I had tried Right Clicking the file and running it as a java application SE binary, but it would not work. So after #Adam Horvath mentioned that it worked for him I set the exported jar to default java jar and it opened up just fine.

How to manipulate elements of ArrayList<Object> using JList

Hi I'm trying to display an ArrayList of Objects on a Jlist. While displaying the ArrayList, I'm trying to be able to add or delete objects to the ArrayList through the GUI.
1) How can I display the ArrayList objects on the Jlist? 2)How can I delete an object by selecting it on the JList?

set Icon gives error on JLabel

I'm having an issue with trying to change the icon of a JLabel. I am using the windowbuilder addon in eclipse to make this program, so just disregard all the bad naming choices of the label and all that, they will be changed later.
The error I'm having is that at the bottom of the my code where I try to change the icon of label_1, I get the following message.
The method seticon(icon) in the type jlabel is not applicable for the
arguments (string)
Does anyone have any idea what this could be?
Here is my code. Sorry that it's rather long, that's window builder for you I suppose:

The method seticon(icon) in the type jlabel is not applicable for the
arguments (string)
yes its because as per the doc found here the setIcon() accepts a Icon as a parrameter not String. So, your code should be...
label_1.setIcon(new ImageIcon("C:\\Users\\Josh\\Desktop\\blank.png"));
I recommend you to go with documentations in the future. Its really a very good practice.
I think the error message is self-explanatory about what went wrong. The "setIcon()" method expects instance of Icon class and not string instance.
jLabelObject.setIcon("string") // Do not pass image path
