How to set rectangle bounds to the frame?
Some notes to be made: That is a very small rectangle (this is important, because most OS's won't allow you to set the bounds of a JFrame to be so small, or else the minimize, exit, etc. buttons will collide. I understand that you are using a tutorial or demo...

java,arraylist,graphics,jframe,jcomponent
it may be not correct but have you called to the readinmapdata() before you called repaint()? it might cause this problem
JCheckBoxes not being disabled after I setEnable(false) them
java,swing,checkbox,jframe,enable-if
In your limit_checkBoxes() method, you want i < 30, not i > 30 in the loop. See my embedded comment. label.setText(Integer.toString(number_of_boxes_checked)); if (number_of_boxes_checked > 6) { for (int i = 0; i < 30; ++i) { //<- your bug was here, I fixed it checkBox[i].setEnabled(false); } } else { ++number_of_boxes_checked;...
Changing a label during ActionEvent
ActionEvents are run on the EDT which is also responsible for painting. Once you change the labels state, Swing issues a request for repaiting the Label. The thing is that this request is posted on a queue and will be executed once the EDT is free and, as you can...
How to store and mark all mouse-clicked-point on an Image loaded in JPanel?
java,event-handling,jframe,jpanel,mouseevent
If I understood well what you need, this could help: ArrayList<Float> coordsX = new ArrayList<Float>(); ArrayList<Float> coordsY = new ArrayList<Float>(); addMouseMotionListener(this); this.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() { @Override public void mousePressed(MouseEvent e){ coordsX.add(e.getX()); //Storing coordinate X coordsY.add(e.getY()); //Storing coordinate Y //Add this code to draw a circle each time you click. int r...
Same actionhandler, multiple buttons
If you're trying to make all components disappear and be replaced by a different "view", then the easiest way to do this is to use a CardLayout, and then call this object's show(...) method to show the view of choice when a button has been pushed, as demonstrated below. Note...
Java - Applet to Executable Jar Wrapping
java,swing,applet,jframe,jpanel
JFrame uses a BorderLayout by default, where as a JPanel uses a FlowLayout Instead of rebuilding the UI in the JFrame, simply add an instance of GUI to it, since you've already defined the functionality in a JPanel, this makes it easily reusable. public class SwingPaintDemo { public static void...

Making a Simple RPG- Creating a new JFrame
java,swing,user-interface,jframe,window
Opening a new window is as simple as creating a new frame like you've already done in your display() function. For instance, this: JFrame newFrame = new JFrame("New Window"); newFrame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); newFrame.setVisible(true); Should be enough to open a new window with nothing in it (you'll probably want to add something to...
how to print 2D array in TextArea
Your code has several problems: You use array.length in both iterations (you should use array[0].length in one of those cases You use System.out.println in the "I tried it with this" part of your question. This will result in always printing in a new line. Did you try whether for(int i...
JFrame setSize as screen size but minus titlebar
Two ways are there: 1. Just "Maximize" the window using the code i.e. add the following: this.setExtendedState( this.getExtendedState()|JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH ); Your code will look like this: public class Titlebar extends JFrame { private final Dimension _screenSize = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit().getScreenSize(); public void run(){ this.setTitle("TitleBar"); this.setSize(_screenSize); this.setExtendedState( this.getExtendedState()|JFrame.MAXIMIZED_BOTH ); this.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE); this.setVisible(true); } public...
How does the sizing of a JFrame actually work?
A lot comes down to the requirements of the content and the layout manager. Rather then looking "how big" you'd like the frame to be, focus on the amount of space the content needs. The frame will then "pack" around this. This means that the frame will "content size +...
Calling a JMenuBar from another class

Extending JFrame - how does “super” keyword work?
new JFrame( "title" ) calls JFrame's constructor. It may call setTitle() (but it probably doesn't), or it may just set the internal variable used to hold the title. super.setTitle() is just a method call. If you have overridden setTitle(), it'll ignore your definition and call the same method on...
JFrame isn't loading properly
As I understand the issue: When you click button JButton(morseIcon), Shell's main is called, which contains infinite loop while(true), so that's become impossible to repaint your window and even exit application.

Why does the first panel added to a frame disappear?
java,swing,jframe,layout-manager,border-layout
The default layout of a JFrame (or more specifically in this case, the content pane of the frame) is a BorderLayout. When adding a component to a BordeLayout with no constraint, the Swing API will put the component in the CENTER. A BorderLayout can contain exactly one component in...

JButton does not change a field value
java,swing,jframe,jbutton,actionlistener
When you run this: while (true) { if ((t.get())) break; } the thread will eat all cpu, making the UI unresponsive; to overcome, one easy way would be adding a sleep time inside the loop: while (true) { Thread.sleep(250); // sleep for 250 msecs if (t.get()) break; } Anyway it...

I added a rectangle to a shape Arraylist but the shape will not show up on the panel
java,arraylist,jframe,jpanel,graphics2d
Lets start with the fact that DrawStuff hasn't actually been added to anything that is capable of painting it.

Issue with JFrame focus when disabling JButton
I believe when there is a focus-able component on your frame, java paints the focus rectangle over it.

canvas = new ThePanel(); setSize(700, 300); this.add(canvas, BorderLayout.CENTER); The setting size and adding to this is futile because later scrollpane ignores it. When your image is bigger than the JScrollPane just call canvas.setPreferredSize(imageWidth, imageHeight);...
Can't get my panel to save as an image

One problem solved: You're not calling the super's paint method inside of your paint method override and by doing so are not allowing the GUI to draw its own components. In other words, you're not doing this: public void paint(Graphics g) { super.paint(g); // *************** missing ************ g.setColor(currentColor); if (myX...
