Can’t figure out why this wont work, I get a blank panel added to my gridbag panel.
I added a JLabel("test")
between the frames I’m trying to add just to see that something IS getting added, it just isn’t visible?
import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.Dimension;
import java.awt.Graphics2D;
import java.awt.GridLayout;
import java.awt.Image;
import java.awt.Label;
import java.awt.image.BufferedImage;
import java.io.File;
import java.io.IOException;
import javax.imageio.ImageIO;
import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.JScrollPane;
import javax.swing.JTabbedPane;
public class Workspace extends JTabbedPane {
static JFrame frame = new JFrame();
private JPanel grid;
private String text = new String("testing.");
Workspace() {
this.addTab("title", growPanel());
}
public static void main(String[] args) throws IOException {
createAndShowGUI();
}
private JPanel growPanel() {
JPanel gp = new JPanel(false);
gp.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(800,600));
//Add a button that adds my frame
JButton addComponentBtn = new JButton("Add Component");
addComponentBtn.addActionListener(e-> {
try {
addComponent();
} catch (IOException e1) {
// TODO Auto-generated catch block
e1.printStackTrace();
}
});
gp.add(addComponentBtn, BorderLayout.PAGE_START);
grid = new JPanel(new GridLayout(0, 2, 10, 10)); //any number of rows, 2 columns, H and V gap
JScrollPane sp = new JScrollPane(grid);
sp.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(800,600));
gp.add(sp, BorderLayout.CENTER);
this.setVisible(true);
return gp;
}
void addComponent() throws IOException {
System.out.println("adding");
grid.add(new JLabel("test"));
grid.add(new intf());
this.repaint();
frame.pack();
}
private static void createAndShowGUI() throws IOException {
//Create and set up the window.
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
//Add content to the window.
frame.add(new Workspace(), BorderLayout.CENTER);
//Display the window.
frame.pack();
frame.setVisible(true);
}
}
And the intf.java
class for the JInternalFrame
:
import javax.swing.JInternalFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
public class intf extends JInternalFrame {
public intf () {
super("Document",
true, //resizable
true, //closable
true, //maximizable
true);//iconifiable
JPanel jp = new JPanel();
JLabel jl = new JLabel("Hi I'm a label");
jp.add(jl);
this.add(jp);
this.pack();
this.repaint();
}
}
Edit:
The JPanel is used to hold the Layout, I don’t think I can assign one to the TabbedPane?
Users will load in images which will appear on the left side of the GridLayout (I will upgrade this to a GridBag). After selecting regions on said images, graphs will appear on the right side. This is also why we use a scrollPane so that there is no limit to the number of images loaded. The TabbedPane will be used to split the load if a user loads in too many images (this is all not in the demo code shown here and not relevant to the problem).
The code I posted is for testing why the JInternalFrame doesn’t show, so it only shows what is relevant to getting that to work.
