jtabbedpane

I have 2 JPanels in a JTabbedPane and when update(g) is called on a panel inside the first panel (Its an animation) even if the second panel is the selected panel(i.e the one you can see) the updated panel appears on the screen. Why is this and how can i circumvent this behaviour? The update() method of JComponent "doesn't clear the background," so you may need to do that explicitly. Typical examples of JTabbedPane don't usually require using update() . Perhaps an sscce showing your usage might help. Addendum 1: It's not clear why you are calling update() . Below is a simple animation that

My app/JFrame, using Borderlayout, has a toolbar at the top or north, a statusbar at the bottom or south and a JPanel.JTabbedPane.JScrollPane.JTable in the center. The JPanel is always a fixed size which is roughly adjustable using the various set*Size() methods applied in various combinations to the various components. But it's always a fixed size and always has east and west gaps. The north and south components stay fixed height and resize horizontally as one would expect. Surely this is not a new or unique design. Is this normal behaviour? Is there some trick I've missed? This is

I was creating an application with JTabbedPane using Nimbus look and feel I have used this code to place tabs: pane.addTab("Welcome",new ImageIcon("resources\\1.png"),mainPanel,"Takes to the welcome page"); I want the icon to appear on the left and dic19 You can set a custom component for rendering the tab title, through JTabbedPane.setTabComponentAt(int index, Component component) method: Sets the component that is responsible for rendering the title for the specified tab . A null value means JTabbedPane will render the title and/or icon for the specified tab. A non-null value means the

I have only JTabbedPane inside JFrame. JTabbedPane sets its dimensions to biggest page width/height. As pages has different size is it possible to force JTabbedPane to change its dimensions when selecting other page? http://grab.by/3hIg Top one is how it behave now and bottom one is how i want it to behave (i resized frame by hand) This is fairly simple. It involves dynamic calculation of differences between your pages dimensions and the using them to force preferred size on you JTabbedPane . I did a quick experiment and it worked. So instead of putting a lot of text here - here is the code.

I have a simple Swing Java application that performs searches, and the results are shown in a new tab. While the search is running, I want to show a progress icon or animation in the title of the tab. I tried adding a gif icon, but it doesn't animate. Is there a reason why this isn't working? Robin The Swing tutorial about progress bars (and showing progress in general) is a very good place to start. It shows you how to perform long-lasting operations on a worker thread by using a SwingWorker , and updating your UI at certain intervals to show progress of the long-lasting operation to the user

I know you can modify the LaF properties , but how do you accomplish this without doing such? I only ask because setBackground doesn't seem to do it. Note that I'm looking to change the following properties: TabbedPane.background (or TabbedPane.contentAreaColor ?) TabbedPane.tabAreaBackground Using TabComponentsDemo as an example, setBackgroundAt() seems to work: private void initTabComponent(int i) { pane.setTabComponentAt(i, new ButtonTabComponent(pane)); pane.setBackgroundAt(i, Color.getHSBColor((float)i/tabNumber, 1, 1)); } Addendum: As @camickr helpfully observed, the target component
