I found this code on the internet. I am setting up a new Eclipse on my new laptop and I want to be able to open this in design view.
How do you open a class with JComponents' on it in design view and also is there a way to make that the default?
Seems like and easy thing but I have been looking for this in Eclipse for the better part of an our. I thought it was in Open With... but I didn't see anything that that sounded like design view.
I hope this is a good question because I just cannot simple find the design view button.
code:
package TestMenu;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;
public class StartupWindow extends JFrame implements ActionListener
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
private JButton btn;
public StartupWindow()
{
super("Simple GUI");
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
btn = new JButton("Open the other JFrame!");
btn.addActionListener(this);
btn.setActionCommand("Open");
add(btn);
pack();
}
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e)
{
String cmd = e.getActionCommand();
if(cmd.equals("Open"))
{
dispose();
new AnotherJFrame();
}
}
public static void main(String[] args)
{
SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable(){
@Override
public void run()
{
new StartupWindow().setVisible(true);
}
});
}
}
class AnotherJFrame extends JFrame
{
private static final long serialVersionUID = 1L;
public AnotherJFrame()
{
super("Another GUI");
setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
add(new JLabel("Empty JFrame"));
pack();
setVisible(true);
}
}
