But won't that cause 2 panels to be created?

Mick Barry

yes. But looking at your code thats what u need. You set the layout in each class and add lots of components.
If you want them to a share the same panel then you'll need to pass each class a reference to the shared panel, either in the constructor or via a setter.

dateTimeDisplayPanel has a gridLayout with 2 colums and 1 row with 5 as the amount for spacing. So they do sahre 1 panel. The code from the layout sould have that info in it since that was the way I laid it out. So is what is need is something like this:

public ClockPanel(GuiPanel guiPanel, DatePanel datePanel)
{

this.guiPanel = guiPanel;
private final GuiPanel guiPanel;
private final DateiPanel datePanel;
private DatePanel datePanel = new DatePanel();
}

guiPanel.addComponent(dateTimeDisplayPanel, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 459, Short.MAX_VALUE)

This wat onlt 1 panel is created and the second class can just be placed in the layout. What do you think?

Drop_of_Rain

ASKER

I added the above code to both the clock and date classes and then added the code below, but still get the same error message.

this.dateTimeDisplayPanel.add(dateDisplayPanel);

Drop_of_Rain

ASKER

I'm trying to get it to work, here is my last try. I think i took care of the last error, but you can't tell sometimes. Both of these classes compile, the errors come when i thry to run the GuiPanel class.

you'll also need to change where u create the ClockPanel and pass it the necessary paramertrs.

...
public ClockPanel clockPanel = null;
public DatePanel datePanel = null;

/** Creates new form GuiPanel */
public GuiPanel() {
initComponents();

//initModes();
}

/** This method is called from within the constructor to
* initialize the form.
* WARNING: Do NOT modify this code. The content of this method is
* always regenerated by the Form Editor.
*/
// <editor-fold defaultstate="collapsed" desc=" Generated Code ">
private void initComponents() {
PanelNamePanel = new javax.swing.JPanel();
jLabel1 = new javax.swing.JLabel();
dateTimeDisplayPanel = new javax.swing.JPanel();
clockPanel = new ClockPanel(dateTimeDisplayPanel);
datePanel = new DatePanel(dateTimeDisplayPanel);

Not clear where that code goes.

Mick Barry

thats copied from your existing code incuding the necesary changes
iw. it replaces what u curreently have

Ok this time the gui came up just no clock or date panels. What if we imported the Container.ContentPane from the GuiPanel then we would know it is in the class

Container contentPane = getContentPane(); // what is wrong with this code? by the way

Drop_of_Rain

ASKER

I can see this isn't a easy problem.

Mick Barry

I can't see anywhere that u add either the clock or date panel to your gui.
A component will not display unless it is added to the gui hierarchy.

Drop_of_Rain

ASKER

What if we got the contentPane into the class then we could use it to add the panels.

Container contentPane = frame.getContentPane();

contentPane().addComponent(datePanel, javax.swing.GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, javax.swing.GroupLayout.PREFERRED_SIZE)

contentPane().addComponent(timePanel, javax.swing.GroupLayout.DEFAULT_SIZE, 233, Short.MAX_VALUE))

Mick Barry

you're doing things a little bit back to front. A component subclass is easier to manage if it just adds any child components to itself, does not add itself or anyother components to elsewhere in the hierarchy.
This way the component stays more self contained and easy to manage.

I think it would be easier to just move the clock and date code to the GuiPanel class in a inner class and then use outer classes to do everything else.

Mick Barry

You don't need an inner class for that. you might as well just get rid of those classes altogether then and put the code directly in the GuiPanel class.

Why wouldn't it be easier to just add the TimePanel panel in the GuiPanel class?

Drop_of_Rain

ASKER

I would know how to add to runs in inner classes but not otherwise. I'm already going this way

Here are the 2 inner classes i came up with. I transfered all the variables and imports ti the GuiPanle already.

private class Date implements Runnable
{

Thread t;
int i;
private DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat( "00" ) ;

public Date() {

t = new Thread(this);
t.start();

}

public void run() {
while(true) {
clockCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
currentMonth = clockCalendar.get(Calendar.MONTH);
currentDay = clockCalendar.get(Calendar.DATE);
currentYear = clockCalendar.get(Calendar.YEAR);

monthDisplay.setText("" + formatter.format( currentMonth ) );
dayDisplay.setText("" + formatter.format( currentDay ) );
yearDisplay.setText("" + formatter.format( currentYear ) );

try {
Thread.sleep(1000);
} catch(InterruptedException interruptedexception) { }
}

}

}

private Class CLock Implements Runnable
{
Thread t;
int i;

public Clock() {

private DecimalFormat formatter = new DecimalFormat( "00" ) ;
t = new Thread(this);
t.start();
}

public void run() {
while(true) {
//currentTimeZone = TimeZone.getDefault() ;
clockCalendar = new GregorianCalendar();
if(hourFormat == 24)
currentHour = clockCalendar.get(Calendar.HOUR_OF_DAY);
else
currentHour = clockCalendar.get(Calendar.HOUR);
currentMinute = clockCalendar.get(Calendar.MINUTE);
currentSecond = clockCalendar.get(Calendar.SECOND);
       currentAmPm = clockCalendar.get(Calendar.AM_PM);

       hoursDisplay.setText("" + formatter.format( currentHour) );
minutesDisplay.setText("" + formatter.format( currentMinute) );
secondsDisplay.setText("" + formatter.format( currentSecond) );

if(Calendar.AM_PM == Calendar.AM) {
       amPmDisplay.setText("AM");
       }
       else{
       amPmDisplay.setText("PM");
       }

try {
t.sleep(1000);
} catch(InterruptedException interruptedexception) { }
}

}
