Hi Rich ,
Thanks a lot. Based on your
suggestion I was able to move my code out of paint method succesfully.
And was able to make it work as desired.
-Thanks Again

Hi,
I'm sorry, but I still understand why this has to be in the paint. At the
time of the paint it is far too late to add controls to a panel. Swing
will get very confused if you try to add components then.
You should create however many controls you need at the time of the setting
of the feature. You should add/remove/replace components in the ComponentHeight
or the No_of_Display_Items set methods themselves within the composite
object.
Thanks,
Rich

Hi Rich,
Thanks for the input. But our requirement is not just to
apply a property to the whole component . Let us explain more about our
composite object. The composite component has two of the properties
as follows.
ComponentHeight
No_of_Display_Items.
The component Height is the height of the swing widgets inside the panel
. Not the height of the panel itself.
No_of_Display_Items Specifies the number of item instances displayed for
the item ,if No_of_Display_Items is set to 3 to , we create a TextField,
by default we want to 3 TextFields visible inside the composite component
like three rows of textField. To get only one textField, set No_of_Display_Items
to 1.
The height of the panel depends on two aspects that is No_of_Display_Items
and Component height. Depending on the No_of_Display_Items, we duplicate
the
swing widget that many number of times inside the panel. Hence we have
"No_of_Display_Items" number of rows of the swing widget inside
the panel.
You can see the example in the image attachments with this mail.
Pic1.jpg shows a single swing widget inside the panel.(No_of_Display_Items=1)
Pic2.jpg shows multiple swing widget inside the panel. (No_of_Display_Items=3)
Can you please help how do I go about implementing such a kind of task.
Thanks in Advance,
Best Regards

I think this is the wrong approach. It should be done on the set of the
property itself, not during the paint. In the complex composite widget,
when the property is set it should propagate it down to the children. The
paint handler is for doing painting not setting properties. It is often
too late, the children may of already painted.

Hi Rich,
We are building complex composite widgets. For Example : a single
component consisting of a Text Field and a checkbox put inside a panel.
The composite component here is the panel. When we change properties for
the composite component, we want it to reflect to the child component,
which are placed inside the composite component. Hence we require a paint
method to add components and to change properties related to the whole
of the composite component.
So can you please help us resolving this issue of paint method?
Thanks in Advance
Best Regards,
Rashmi H.Ramachandra.

Why are you changing it in the paint itself? Why not change it directly
on the component when the property itself is changed. Then it would only
be done once.

| [ve-dev] Painting Custom
widgets in Swing for VE . |

Hi all ,
We are using eclipse 3.1 and VE 1.1 for our
project. We are trying to build custom widgets in Swing, that paint themselves
when any property such as Color (Back Ground or Foreground) is changed.
We have two questions here,
1.) How do we debug and follow the flow of
execution? (Sysout's are not working here inside custom widgets).
2.) How do we customize the paint method to
pick up and apply property from the user defined field?
For E.g.:-
We have a field called 'backGroundColor' ,
which has a setter and getter methods. On every change of this property
by the user from the property palette. We want to change the color of the
component .
this.setBackGround(this.getBackGroundColor());
We have used the above code inside the
paint method. Since paint method is called ample number of times the eclipse
runtime hangs and becomes very slow. It even does not reflect the property
changes. Is there any way we can handle these custom properties inside
the paint method.
Our paint method looks like this
public void paint(Graphics g)
{
super.paint(g);
if(flag)
{
this.setBackground(this.getBackgroundColor());
this.setOpaque(true);
}
flag = false;
}
We used flag to restrict repainting of the
component continuously. But we are unable to find how to reset the flag
and call the paint, whenever there is a property change.
For the above component and the swing container
I am using null layout.
Any help in this regard is greatly appreciated.
Thank you and Best Regards.
