jprogressbar

I'm attempting to change the colour of Progress Bars in my current Swing L&F (I'm using Nimbus at the moment) by using a custom Painter object, but when created these Progress Bars sometimes stick with their original colouring (this change seems to occur randomly). I'm probably missing something simple but I'm stumped, Painter object (and it's invocation below)... import javax.swing.Painter; import java.awt.*; public class ProgressPainter implements Painter { private Color light, dark; private GradientPaint gradPaint; public ProgressPainter(Color light, Color dark) { this.light = light; this

is there a way to make the dialog from ProgressMonitor modal? EDIT: The ProgressMonitor class in JAVA API will bring a dialog which is on the top but not Modal. User still has access to the background GUI. I am looking for a Modal dialog to show the progress and also allow user to stop the task in the middle. As discussed in How to Use Progress Monitors , a number of factors should be considered when Deciding Whether to Use a Progress Bar or a Progress Monitor . As an implementation detail, ProgressMonitor is modeless because "the Solaris implementation doesn't support Dialog.setModal yet." As

I'm sure this question has been asked before, but none of the answers I found will work very well with my existing code. I'm posting this question in case there's a way to do it without completely redoing what I have so far. The idea is to display a very basic progress bar while copying files and directories from one drive to another. I have a class called BasicCopy that is designed to copy the contents of the Pictures, Documents, videos, and Music folders (standard on Windows machines) to folders of the same names within a backup directory on a second drive. Here is the class so far: import

I am making a game in Java, and I am using a JProgressBar for a health bar. I want to use an image (instead of colours) for the JProgressBar , but I have not been able to do it. I have tried using the paint method, paintComponent method, making a new class, but it's not working. May someone please help me? MadProgrammer Without going to the extent to creating your own ProgressBarUI implementation, you could simply create your own... This example essentially makes a "bar of potions" out of a single potion image and then renders a sub image based on the current progress. It wouldn't take much to

I am working on a project that transfers files over a network and I want to incorporate a JProgressBar to show the progress during file transfer but I need help on that. Nick Fortescue You probably would find a ProgressMonitorInputStream easiest, but if that doesn't do enough for you, look at its source code to get exactly what you want. InputStream in = new BufferedInputStream( new ProgressMonitorInputStream( parentComponent, "Reading " + fileName, new FileInputStream(fileName) ) ); To use a different transfer method then substitute an appropriate stream for FileInputStream. import java.io

I am using JProgressBar component along with the Nimbus UI Defaults. The problem is that When I want to manually change each progressbar's Bar color, I use BasicProgressBarUI by setting JProgressBar.setUI() function. This makes more trouble because I would like to just change the bar color and it seems that I loose the default look of the jprogressbar (Border, backgroundcolor dissappears). So I can set UIDefaults of Nimbus ProgressBar when the code initializes. It works. But I want to change each progressbar's bar color dynamically. Is there any other way of changing Bar color of JProgressBar
