I have used the swingx library provided by Synthetica. Added Addon jar also.

Please help me out.

un_rellated 1. SwingX has buil_in support for Substance L&F, rellated, 2. whats happened in the case that you added JXDatePicker to J(X)Panel programatically, not by dragging from SwingX palette, 2. whats J(X)Components type where you added JXDatePicker — mKorbel, Jul 04 '13 at 09:55
@mKorbel : I am using SyntheticaAluOxide. I tried adding the JXDatePicker programatically. Still I got same Exception — Dnyaneshwar, Jul 04 '13 at 11:00
now I tried : created a jFrame with Synthetica lnf added a button and on action of that button called the other jframe with nimbuzz lnf. It worked but calling frame get stucked. why ??? — Dnyaneshwar, Jul 04 '13 at 11:04
SwingX to override BasicXxxUI important is if is works with Metal, Nimbus, Sustance, SystemL&F, if yes then Jyloo probably isn't supported L&F, — mKorbel, Jul 04 '13 at 11:04
you can to use another Java Calendar, in the case that you bought Jyloo L&F, for example [JCalendar by Kai Toedter](http://www.toedter.com/en/jcalendar/) is one of my favorite and works without focus, highlighter, caret and selection issue with most of L&F as I tried, up to you — mKorbel, Jul 04 '13 at 11:08
be sure that only @kleopatra can answering support of 3rd. party L&F and SwingX — mKorbel, Jul 04 '13 at 11:11
`can i forward you my codes` - please not, I'm here only for my enjoy ...., reason why all identifiers in my profile are empty — mKorbel, Jul 04 '13 at 11:17
@kleopatra please maybe idiotic question, are 3rd. party L&Fs supported in SwingX, without overrode something — mKorbel, Jul 04 '13 at 11:30
@mKorbel it's the other way round: 3rd party LAFs (f.i. Synthetica) support SwingX components (by providing custom ui-delegates/addons as needed) — kleopatra, Jul 04 '13 at 11:39
I'm not familiar with the details of configuring Netbeans, so can't really help you - was just wildly guessing on a possible reason :-) — kleopatra, Jul 04 '13 at 11:42
@kleopatra thanks then looks like as SubstanceL&F and available themes (or for sado_maso to change Colors in theme) is proper and direct of ways — mKorbel, Jul 04 '13 at 11:50

I have had this exception as well, but it some years back already. I remember it because it seems that Synthentica is enforcing the use of its SwingX extention when you only have a license for Synthetica core, and I was "not amused" by that. Turns out that this is not the case (because I'm using Synthetica core + SwingX now), but my memory fails me in how I got rid of that exception. Searchinf through the source code does not help either, so maybe an emailto Jyloo is in order.

thanx for your answer.. likely I've put a mail to Jyloo likewise. Let's see what comes..If you found some answer let me know. — Dnyaneshwar, Jul 04 '13 at 12:11

Solution for my problem I got from jyloo.com is :

Reply from jyloo.com :

Generally SwingX support is provided by SyntheticaAddons - so you additionally need SyntheticaAddons. We also recommend to use our DateComboBox component instead of JXDatePicker.

so I added the syntheticaAddons.jar and syntheticaAluOxideAddon.jar to my classpath and used the de.javasoft.swing.DateComboBox.

I worked like charm.

Thanks to all the Supporters from stackoverflow.com and jyloo.com support team.
