jtabbedpane

On a JTabbedPane, how do you set the color of the tab titles for both the selected and unselected states? It seems like what you want are the setForegroundAt and setBackgroundAt methods in JTabbedPane . I want to change the colors for all of them and let Swing handle knowing which tab is currently selected. That wouuld be a LAF implementation. You can check out UIManager Defaults . For the Metal LAF it looks like background selected/unselected can be controlled but I don't see anything for the foreground font color. So I would say you would need to add a ChangeListener to the tabbed pane. Then

I would like to change tab name by clicking on "Rename" item from a popup menu by adding an ActionPerformed, and type directly on tab the new name. I have found this jTabbedPane.setTitleAt(count, "string here"); but it is not what I want, this just set the string passed as argument. Thanks By adding JPopupMenu is possible to determine index and getTitleAt() from JTabbedPane import java.awt.*; import javax.swing.*; import javax.swing.event.*; public class TabPopupDemo extends JFrame { private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L; private JLabel jLabel1; private JLabel jLabel2; private

I'm fairly new to java and am creating a windowbuilder program. I am wondering if it is possible when using Jtabbedpane and switching between the tabs in the program window if i can use an actionlistener to get the contents from a separate class. For example, i have a program with two tabs and two classes, the first tab will have the code from one class and the second tab from the second class. Thanks If you want to separate your code which creates GUI, to multiple classes, you could use this aproach: This would be your main class which will contain JTabbedPane : import javax.swing.JFrame;
