We know that TextArea are not editable , so how to create an editable component which looks like a TextArea ( having the multi-line behaviour ) ?
TextArea is editable. Here is how you can create editable text area:
TextArea text = new TextArea();
text.setEditable(true);
text.setSingleLineTextArea(false);
Does this not work for you?
What version of LWUIT are you using and platform are you on?
Use TextField and set its setSingleLineTextArea(false). This requires LWUIT 1.5 or newer.

i am making a java desktop application using javafx. For gui building i am using scene builder 2.0.
Everything is just perfect as expected just 1 thing. I want to customize the buttons. i want to assign a custom graphic to a button.
When i use [button.setgraphic(node)] , this statement set the new graphic to the button but default graphic of button also remains present as well.
I just want to remove the default graphic and then want to assign the new (custom) garaphic to a control like buttons and radio buttons in javafx. 1 thing again i must tell that i am using scene builder for building gui.
How can i achieve this ?
thanks in advance....
Below is the screen-shot of current occuring situation, .....
Here i have made a button using javafx scene builder , and then in the controller of the fxml file (.java file) i am trying to set the image (shown in orange box in snapshot) to that button by using setGraphics property of button ..... i just need that button to be of following shape ...
You'd better customize your button via CSS. Here goes tutorial. What you are trying to do is to modify button picture (which is empty by default). I guess this wasn't your exact purpose.
button.setGraphic(null)
// worked for me.
I want to have a menu for my program. And I like the standard Menu look and all, but I want to place a "logout-button" on the far right side of the menu-bar.. is it possible to place it there WITHOUT having to fill up the whole menu-bar with entries?
Sincerely
Yes you can. Use the HBox#setHgrow();. This javadoc page also has an example how to use it in "Optional Layout Constraints" section. Following is taken from javadoc.
For example, if an hbox needs the TextField to be allocated all extra space:
HBox hbox = new HBox();
TextField field = new TextField();
HBox.setHgrow(field, Priority.ALWAYS);
hbox.getChildren().addAll(new Label("Search:"), field, new Button("Go"));
Briefly speaking, set Priority.ALWAYS for the button (or any control) just before the "logout-button" in a HBox. More advanced example is here: Using Built-In Layout Panes : Example 1-4
the default title only contains text, just like the "Apples" title in the above image.
is that possible to add image in the title.
or
is there a way developer can build a customized TitledPane ?
thanks
Use setGraphic method
TitledPane tp = new TitledPane("hi");
tp.setGraphic(new Rectangle(10, 10));
As far as I know, you can set the graphics via the css property "-fx-graphic" as well.
See Oracle Defintion for JFX and CSS, here for elements of type Labeled.
To remove the button completely, you could either
set tp.setCollabsible(false); or
use the .titled-pane CSS class to set the property "-fx-collapsible" to false.
See Here (same side as above, but for TitledPane).
I want to know how to create a label that contains two icons, one on each side and set it as the title bar for the form element (LWUIT widgets).
Form has a function to get a titleArea then you can put some components what you want.
Form f = new Form();
Container c = f.getTitleArea();
Label iconLabel1 = new Label("leftIcon");//using Image
Label iconLabel2 = new Label("rightIcon");//using Image
c.addComponent(BorderLayout.WEST, iconLabel1);
c.addComponent(BorderLayout.EAST, iconLabel2);
You can just add a component to the north portion of the screen which is the recommended way that will work properly and won't break for newer versions of LWUIT/Codename One.
When you don't set a title it will just work and you can give it the Title UIID. LWUIT 1.5 and newer have a TitleArea container but I suggest you stay away from it since CodenameOne customizes it quite allot for iOS/Android 4.x etc.
Use the setTitleComponent(Label title) method.
EDIT :
Derive the Label class and implement the paint method where you can use the Graphics method to draw Images and texts. Also set the label's text position to Label.CENTER .
I have a GXT ContentPanel instance (cp). I attempt to add a Text object to the content panel as below:
Text text = new Text("Main Content Window");
cp.add(text);
However, the Text is not visible even though I did text.setVisible(true). In my debugger, I saw that the content panel (cp) does have the text object added to the cp.items list. However, the text object has "rendered = false" and "attached = false".
Thanks for Help!
you may add the text to ContentPanel using Label which is straight forward.
by the way text is not not component to add to the panel(Contentpanel/ layout container)
we can add only component to the container.
If ContentPanel is already rendered and you add anything to it you have to call cp.layout() to add new contents to the DOM. If you add the text before rendering it it's not necessary.
