This week's book giveaway is in the General Computing forum. We're giving away four copies of Arduino in Action and have Martin Evans, Joshua Noble, and Jordan Hochenbaum on-line! See this thread for details.
I have created a menu. Whenever a menu item is selected, the previous displayed components will be set invisible, and the new components will be set visible. Suppose I have a menu button called, "Add". It has two menu items---"A Book" and "A CD". First I selected "A Book", then selected "A CD". Those displays are good. However, when I selected "A Book" again, its components display is in a mess. Why? The following is part of my code: ================================= ....... addBook.addActionListener(new AddBookListener(this, c)); addCD.addActionListener(new AddCDListener(this, c)); ....... class AddBookListener implements ActionListener { private Exer3 myApplet=null; private Container myContainer = null; //Constructor public AddBookListener(Exer3 app, Container c){ myApplet = app; myContainer = c; } //Define actionPerformed() public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e){ //Clear the pane by calling a helper method--invisibleAll() helperClass help= new helperClass(myApplet); /*=====Set Invisible======*/ help.setInvisibleForAddCD(); /*=====Set visible========*/ help.setVisibleForAddBook(); //Design the layout of the pane designLayout(); //Ensures that the Container has a valid layout myApplet.validate(); .... .... (AddCDListener did the same thing) }//End of actionPerformed() ..... ..... class helperClass{ Exer3 myApplet= null; public helperClass(Exer3 app) { myApplet = app; } /*===========Set Visible====================*/ public void setVisibleForAddBook() { myApplet.lblHead1.setVisible(true); myApplet.lblCata1.setVisible(true); ...... ...... public void setVisibleForAddCD() { myApplet.lblHead2.setVisible(true); myApplet.lblCata2.setVisible(true); ...... ...... public void setInvisibleForAddBook() { myApplet.lblHead1.setVisible(false); myApplet.lblCata1.setVisible(false); ...... ...... public void setInvisibleForAddCD() { myApplet.lblHead2.setVisible(false); myApplet.lblCata2.setVisible(false); ..... ...... Please help me to solve the problem. Thank you for your help!
Hi Jess, If the same components are getting set visible/invisible over and over again you really should be using a CardLayout with the components required for one menu item on one panel and the others on another panel. Then you only need to set the front card and it won't matter how many components are on each card, etc. Regards, Manfred.
