I recently upgraded from Java 1.4.2 to 1.5.0_03 on a Red Hat 9 system.
When I compiled and tested an existing program that worked fine under

I am using a JWindow for the main window of an application for its

Is there a trick to get a JScrollPane (which holds a Jtable) to resize when the
window enclosing JFrame, using GridBagLayout  is narrowed?  It works fine with
default JFrame  layout manager (sliders come on scrollpane, narrows etc) but
with GridBag,  it freaks and the contents ...

I have an applet where copy-paste isn't working, and reading the
archives, I see that this is an intentional security feature to
protect the clipboard against malicious applets.
However I see that copy-paste works in the SwingSet demo:

I'm new to Java 2D (but have lots of C/C++ experience with Win32). I
have a legacy C Windows application with a "small" GUI (couple of
hundred lines of code) that I want to convert to Java.
Can anyone please point me to a URL that shows the mapping (if any)

I have created a small Swing application consisting of one jFrame and
one jDialog. A click on a button in the jFrame should bring up the
jDialog, but only its title appears, not the remainder, I have to drag

XYconstraints

I want to limit the size of a JLabel in another panel to X,Y. However,

Hi Group,
Any ideas on how I can determine which buttonw was used to get a hyperlink

Would someone provide or point me to an example of coding a simple, but
nontrivial, dialog?
For instance, I would like to provide a modal dialog that would allow the
user to, say, enter a string, an integer, and fiddle with some radio

I have been trying to draw shapes on a SWT Composite and apparently
this is not possible. I can draw over a Shell or a SWT Canvas. But
drawing over a Composite does not work.
Canvas extends from Composite and looking at the source code I can se

How do I change the font of a Frame or Dialog's title.
Fankx,

Newbie post - sorry! I can't see the answer around anywhere I don't think

I'm using GridBagLayout in Java 1.5.
JButton ButtonA's text is originally set to "a very very very long piece of

I have an app that is trying to render a set of strings onto a panel, but
the strings must fillthe entire screen (Therefore I must strech the fonts
etc).
I have to support the MS JVM for this, so I have made two classes, one for

I couldn't find any class in the API reference realizing a statusbar,
which can be placed at the bottom of a window.
Is there really no such class in the Java Standard Library?

I'd like to create a toggle action with Karsten Letzsch UI-Framework
1.4. As opposed to my expectations, the two related toggle buttons do
