awt

Ok I've read an searched all over the web, and I've not found the solution to my problem yet, perhaps I'm missing something simple, hence here I am... I've got a rather large project, that handles work orders for a repair business. It's all database connected, many many pages of code, and classes. But i just added a short bit of code to the front end that essentially checks for new messages in our notes area. Anyway, I display a simple JFrame with two JLabel s while a separate thread queries the database. This all happens at the start of the program. The problem is my little "please wait"

I have trouble drawing a triangle with the draw(Graphics g) method in Java. I can draw a rectangle like so: public void draw(Graphics g) { g.setColor(colorFill); g.fillRect(p.x, p.y, width, height); g.setColor(colorBorder); g.drawRect(p.x, p.y, width, height); drawHandles(g); Where p represents "the top left corner of the shapes". How would I draw the triangle in the same manner? Could someone give me an example for a standard triangle? davidbuzatto There is not a drawTriangle method neither in Graphics nor Graphics2D. You need to do it by yourself. You can draw three lines using the drawLine

I would like to add a feature to my application which allows the user to draw a straight line by clicking the mouse at the start location and releasing it at the end location. The line should move as the mouse moves until it is finally released; similar to the way that a line can be drawn using the Microsoft Paint application. How can implement this so that the line is repainted as it moves without repainting other things that may already be drawn in that rectangular area? Try this...Draw a red line on the screen as the mouse is moved (dragged). public static void main(String args[]) throws

There is a mouseMove()method that makes the pointer jump to that location. I want to be able to make the mouse move smoothly throughout the screen. I need to write a method named mouseGLide() which takes a start x, start y, end x, end y, the total time the gliding should take, and the number of steps to make during the glide. It should animate the mouse pointer by moving from (start x, start y) to (end x, start y) in n steps. The total glide should take t milliseconds. I don't know how to get started can anyone help me get started on this? Can anyone just tell me what steps I need to do in
