Layering multiple GlassPane's in a Root Container - java

Is it possible to add multiple GlassPanes for a single JFrame, or do I have to use the uncomfortable LayeredPane with the Opacity attribute.
I have attached some code that shows what I want to do (provided by #camickr).

Look at http://docs.oracle.com/javase/tutorial/uiswing/components/rootpane.html for an explanation on Root panes and what the Glass pane actually is.
The glass pane is just a convenient way to add a component which has the size of the Root Pane, and which blocks all input events. This allows you to catch any interaction with your components to create a "Please wait..." screen.
There is only a single glass pane per root container. You cannot layer glass panes.
You can replace the contents of the glass pane by something else if you want to layer something over the current glass pane. You can also set a JPanel as a glass pane, which allows you to layout multiple components in the glass pane.
Usually, you should only use the glass pane to block user input (and, if necessary, display some kind of "please wait" message). Can you provide a use case of why you want to put glass panes on top of one another?

java- repaint() method is misbehaving?

I am working on a Music Player
I am using a JSlider as seek bar and using a JLabel to draw text on screen, such as song name.
I am new to Graphics2D
Here's the minimized code:
public class JSliderDemo extends JFrame
{
JLabel label;
JSlider seek = new JSlider();
int y = 10;
public JSliderDemo()
{
setSize(400, 400);
setLocationRelativeTo(null);
setDefaultCloseOperation(DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE);
createWindow();
setVisible(true);
startThread();
}
public void createWindow()
{
JPanel panel = new JPanel(null);
panel.setOpaque(true);
panel.setBackground(Color.BLUE);
label = new Component();
label.setSize(400, 400);
label.setLocation(0, 0);
createSlider();
panel.add(seek);
panel.add(label);
add(panel);
}
protected void createSlider()
{
seek.setUI(new SeekBar(seek, 300, 10, new Dimension(20, 20), 5,
Color.DARK_GRAY, Color.RED, Color.RED));
seek.setOrientation(JProgressBar.HORIZONTAL);
seek.setOpaque(false);
seek.setLocation(10, 50);
seek.setSize(300, 20);
seek.setMajorTickSpacing(0);
seek.setMinorTickSpacing(0);
seek.setMinimum(0);
seek.setMaximum(1000);
}
protected void startThread()
{
Thread thread = new Thread(new Runnable(){
#Override
public void run()
{
try
{
while(true)
{
if(y == label.getHeight()){y = 1;}
label.repaint();
y += 1;
Thread.sleep(100);
}
}
catch(Exception ex){}
}
});
thread.start();
}
protected class Component extends JLabel
{
#Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g)
{
Graphics2D gr = (Graphics2D) g;
gr.setRenderingHint(RenderingHints.KEY_ANTIALIASING, RenderingHints.VALUE_ANTIALIAS_ON);
gr.setColor(Color.RED);
gr.setFont(new Font("Calibri", Font.PLAIN, 16));
gr.drawString("Slider", 50, y);
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
new JSliderDemo();
}
}
The Custom Slider UI class prints a line each time the JSlider is repainted.
Through this, I was able to find out that, when I call repaint() for JLabel it automatically repaints JSlider with it even though JSlider is not included in JLabel.
Output :
Slider re-painted
Slider re-painted
Slider re-painted
Slider re-painted
Slider re-painted
Slider re-painted.........
Now if I remove label.repaint() from the Thread, then the JSlider is not re-painted.
Output:
Slider re-painted
Slider re-painted
Is the repaint() method supposed to work like this?
Here's the Custom Slider UI class :

Java Massive Multiple Frame Instances Issue

sigh OK guys... There is going to be a painstaking amount of code here, but i'm going to do it anyway.
So basically, I have a custom made (well it's actually just a HEAVILY customized version of a JFrame) and am having major issues.
I have a background. (Fair enough, that's fine) THEN I have a Terminal frame that pops up and spits stuff out. This Terminal frame is based off another class named CustomFrame. I also have ANOTHER class called Notification, which is ALSO a frame class like Terminal ALSO based off Custom Frame.
In the beginning, background loads fine. Terminal loads fine. Calls method to show Notification window. And thats where the problem rises. The notification window won't show.
I have tried frame.setVisible(); frame.setSize(); frame.setLocation(); I have tried, EVERYTHING.
And if I don't show Terminal at all, it seems to spit it's code onto Notification instead, almost like there can only be ONE instance of the CustomFrame open AT ALL TIMES.
I hope you understand my problems... So here is the code!

On a serious note though, if anyone is able to help me with such a sizeable post, I will SERIOUSLY be eternally grateful.

Edit:
Did have the time to fix up fonts. Extremely sorry, now it has been done.
Edit:
Here is where the Notification frame is called and doesn't end up showing:
if(!(text.length() == 13)) {
dumpToLog();
slowPrint("Registry not available at this current given time.\n");
//TODO: Create registry system.
new Notification("test");
}
As #Andrew Thompson, #trashgod pointed, it is a bad practice to use multiple frames.
If you still need to fix your problem, here goes:
The issue is with your static instance of the CustomFrame for your Game application and then modifying that frame instance using methods like setUndecorated(...).
In your Terminal class, you have
static CustomFrame frame = new CustomFrame(Types.TERMINAL);
and in your Notification class, you have
static CustomFrame frame = new CustomFrame(Types.NOTIFICATION);
but you are getting the same instance of the frame
static JFrame frame = new JFrame(); (in your CustomFrame class)
So what this means :
When the Game application loads, the Terminal is visible. And when you register a user, you are displying a Notification, with modified frame size and then by calling the setVisible() method of the CustomFrame.
Which is causing the issue. The setUndecorated() and setVisible() is invoked for the same static instance. YOU CANNOT MODIFY A FRAME WHICH IS VISIBLE. Meaning, YOU CAN ONLY MODIFY A FRAME BEFORE IT IS VISIBLE. Here your frame is already visible (for Terminal) and when displaying the Notification you are trying to change the size and display. WHICH IS WRONG.
As you said I want DIFFERENT JFrames, as in my code, I use Types.java as an enum to pick my different TYPES of frames. The frame is completely different each time due to the use of different components and sizing, to achieve this, you need multiple instances for each type of frame.
Changes/Fixes to your code :

Scrolling programmatically

final JViewport viewport = slaveScrollPane.getViewport();
Rectangle rect = new Rectangle(getBounds().x, getBounds().y, 1, 1);
Rectangle r2 = viewport.getVisibleRect();
slaveTable.scrollRectToVisible(new Rectangle(rect.x, rect.y, (int)r2.getWidth(), (int)r2.getHeight()));
}
}
}
}
}
}
viewport.setViewPosition( pt ); as shown here.
It's basic math and it does not require access to the viewport:
// in the isSelected block of the propertyChangeListener:
JComponent current = (JComponent) evt.getSource();
slaveTable.setRowSelectionInterval(getNum(), getNum());
// get the cellRect of the selected cell
Rectangle cellRect = slaveTable.getCellRect(getNum(), 0, false);
// get the bounds of the selected panel
Rectangle panelRect = current.getBounds();
// get the visible rect of the selected panel's parent
Rectangle parentVisibleRect = ((JComponent) current.getParent()).getVisibleRect();
// the diff above the current (to the parent's visible rect)
int aboveCurrent = panelRect.y - parentVisibleRect.y;
// translate the cell rect
cellRect.y = Math.max(cellRect.y - aboveCurrent, 0);
// adjust size to slaveTable's visible height
cellRect.height = slaveTable.getVisibleRect().height;
slaveTable.scrollRectToVisible(cellRect);
Note that this snippet assumes that the view's viewport of both the panel's parent and the table have the same size, so either remove the header from the table, or add a header to the panel's scrollPane, or use a LayoutManager which can align the viewports of the two scrollPanes.

Java: JSplitPane duplicates top panel's contents to bottom panel when Timer is active

So I have a JSplitPane, and two JPanels - one on top, one on the bottom. In both panels I overrode the paintComponent method and added my own graphics. In the bottom panel, I wanted to add an animation. When the panel does not repaint, it's fine, but as soon as the Timer (javax.swing.Timer) starts to call repaints, the bottom panel mimics the appearance of the top panel and glitches out. The actual animations are not refreshed, but rather it keeps on adding (like a dragged paintbrush instead of a moving object).
Here's the code for the Bottom Panel class:
import java.awt.Color;
import java.awt.Graphics;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.Timer;
public class WaitControls extends JPanel {
private int pos;
public WaitControls(){
setBackground(Color.gray);
pos = 0;
}
public void progress(){
//animation timer:
Timer timer = new Timer(30, new ActionListener(){
#Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
pos++;
repaint();
}
});
timer.start();
}
#Override
public void paintComponent(Graphics g){
g.fillRect(pos, pos, 10, 20);
}
}
And here's the code for the Splitpane class:
//my classes (imported packages)
import rcc.controls.ControlPanel;
import rcc.controls.InitControls;
import rcc.controls.WaitControls;
import rcc.video.Screen;
import javax.swing.JSplitPane;
public class MainPanel extends JSplitPane{
public RCC rcc;
public Screen screen;
private int height;
public ControlPanel curPanel;
public MainPanel(RCC rcc, Screen screen, int height){
super(JSplitPane.VERTICAL_SPLIT);
this.rcc = rcc;
this.screen = screen;
this.height = height;
setDividerSize(2);
setEnabled(false);
setTopComponent(screen);
setToInitControls();
}
//sets the control panel to init controls ***WORKS FINE***
public void setToInitControls(){
InitControls initCtrls = new InitControls(this);
setBottomComponent(initCtrls);
curPanel = initCtrls;
setDividerLocation(height / 4 * 3);
}
//sets the control panel to wait controls (trying to connect) ***GLITCHES***
public void setToWaitControls(){
WaitControls waitCtrls = new WaitControls();

The top panel is a bit complicated. It involves mouse action (including a MouseEntered listener) and animates to interact with user mouse input.
The strange thing is, I have another bottom panel that was swapped out that also uses animations, and a timer, and does not have this glitch.
Any ideas what may have caused this? Thank you for all your help!
I can't imagine how your animations works,
1/ but if animation(s) depends of by any of Listener then Timer must be Timer#restart();
2/ check (example), how to pass addNotify()/removeNotify() for start/stop animatiom(s)
NOTE required fullHD monitor for better output or change code line
