SwingBuilder list

Hi,

I am trying to use a SwingBuilder list.

I have a simple window that should have a select all and deselect all button.

However, I don’t see a property that allows me to access all items in the list to have a closure mark them all as selected or deselected.

The only thing I see is that I can do myList.getModel.getElementAt() – but then I cannot do it in a closure.

What are my options here?

 

Thanks,

David

Wow, that came just in time as I was real close and was having just missing the cast (newbie issue!)

 

For deselect, there is also this:

list1.selectionModel.clearSelection()

 

Side question: Does it pay for me to use griffon, if there is no db for my small app? Is there any notable advantage?

This works in the Griffon swingPad:

all  = action( name:'Select All',  closure:{
  listId.selectedIndices = (0..listId.model.size()) as int[]
} )
none = action( name:'Select None', closure:{
  listId.selectedIndices = [] as int[]
} )

panel( preferredSize:[ 320, 500 ] ) {
  borderLayout()
  scrollPane( constraints:CENTER ) {
    theList = list( id:'listId' )
   
    theList.listData = (1..50).collect { "Line $it" }
  }
  panel( constraints:SOUTH ) {
    button( all )
    button( none )
  }
}

Hope it helps...

Hi,

I have a simple window created using swingbuilder

I have a few buttons and would like to have the focus on the last button so that the user can hit enter and it closes the window with all the defaults as set.

I have tried defaultButton and selected but neither of these seems to work. Any ideas?

 

  button(action: action(name: 'Select All', closure: {

            list1.selectedIndices = (0 .. list1.model.size - 1) as int[]

          }))

          button(action: action(name: 'DeSelect All', closure:{

                              list1.selectedIndices = [] as int[]

             }))

           button(action: action(name: 'OK', defaultButton: true, selected: true,

                  closure:{

                          println("button clicked")

                          list1.selectedValues.each {

                            println(it)

                          dispose()

                          } }))

Does it work if you change it to:

      button(action: action(name: 'Select All', closure: {
        list1.selectedIndices = (0 .. list1.model.size - 1) as int[]
      }))
      button(action: action(name: 'DeSelect All', closure:{
        list1.selectedIndices = [] as int[]
      }))

      button( id:'defBtn', defaultCapable:true, action: action(name: 'OK', selected: true, closure:{

        println("button clicked")
        list1.selectedValues.each {
        println(it)
        dispose()
      } }))

      defBtn.rootPane.defaultButton = defBtn

I am not sure I understand what you are saying.

Is rootPane reserved or the name of my rootPane.

When I took it as is (assuming it was reserved) I get an error:

 

No such property: rootPane for class: groovy.swing.impl.DefaultAction

Just to be extra safe, that last line should probably be:

      defBtn.rootPane?.defaultButton = defBtn

I'd rather have no default button than a crash ;-)

Thanks. I am still not clear – I want to open a dialog on top of main window and set focus to this button. So, when I hit show, I need to have already requested focus for it?

The "default button" only works when the focus is already on the window but not on any other button, for example:

new groovy.swing.SwingBuilder().edt {
 frame(pack:true, show:true, defaultCloseOperation:javax.swing.JFrame.DISPOSE_ON_CLOSE) {
  flowLayout()
  textField("Yo ho ho!")
  button("one")
  button("two", defaultButton:true, actionPerformed: {e->println 'yo!'})
  button("Three")
 }
}

if you place the cursor in the text component and press enter, 'yo' will fire.  But if it is on any other button or not in the frame, nothing happens.

What you probably want is keyboard focus and window focus.  To do this you need to track the button and possibly the dialog/frame.  The swing requestFocusInWindow and requestFocus methods can help there:


frame {
   //....
   myButton = button(action: okAction, defaultButton) ...
}

myButton.requestFocusInWindow()
// Or...
myButton.requestFocus()


The difference is that requestFocusInWindow() will not attempt to cause the root level component to gain focus, whill requestFocus() will attempt.  And by attempt, some OS window managers may suppress that call and simply cause the doc icon to bounce or the taskbar to flash for that task, I don't rememeber the specific rules and specific cases.  If your java app already has focus, it should shift to the reqesting window.

Sorry, but I am still not clear on this.

If I have a modal dialog (as is my case) then I will not be able to run additional code to set focus. Is there on onFocus of the window?

How do I catch such events in groovy?

 

Thanks,

David

I would do the request after the window deceleration...

dialog( ..., show:true ...) {
  myButton = button( ... defaultButton:true ...)
}

button.requestFocus()
