I have been reading about model-view-controller architecture and how it
is implemented in Swing. This leaves some questions.
For example: You have a JTextField in which the user can provide a
filename to save some data on disk. The data comes through the net (the

can we bypass the host os's window creation by our own customized
image...i.e., creating windows of our own style rather than in the
traditional rectangular form...like the one we do in VC++ or in VB.
Any solutions?

I am using List andunder Linux I have a problem.
I am compiling by jdk1.5
I want in my List the text in white color
list.setForeground(Color.white);

for some application, I have to get two values provided by the user .
First I tried to retrieve the two values separately by calling
JOptionPane.showInputDialog() two times, but that seemed too much
clicking for me.

Could one of you be so kind as to peek at my valueChanged routine below
and tell me if you have any ideas why the following is not working ?
I'm using "revalidate" and "repaint" in the way I thought would be right.
Here are details:

Is there a way to set the maximum number of lines a JTextArea can hold,
and if it achieves the maximum, it kind of "scrolls" -- not visually,
necessarily, but if the limit is N, once N+1-th line is append()-ed, the
first line is dropped, so memory is not consumed.

I have several objects derived from JPanel. I've implemented validation on this objects, and when
they are invalid theyr color changes. Also, the validation returns a list of reason for

How to maximize the JFrame of my application?
Like I pressed the maximize button in a JFrame wndow, so the button is in
the "restore" mode.

I need to have 3 to 6 green or red squares in 2 rows in each cell of a
Jtable. These squares indicate something and their configuration
depends on an underlying data structure which changes say every

Hi,
I have a HTML webpage that is updated every week.
I mean the layout gets chaged every week(not a very drastic change).

I have a JPanel on which I draw some tables, text and shapes (using
Graphics2d).
Then I put this JPanel inside a JScrollPane, hoping that my drawings
will be still viewable after a window resize.

I have a JFrame that I have undecorated and in full screen mode.  To
draw on the screen, I add a JPanel and draw on that and go for a
setVisible(true).  Then, I do what I need and do a setVisible(false)
and go forward.
