使用秋千创建滑出工具面板

Question

I really don't know how to do this. I want to have a panel "slide out" from underneath the current one when the user clicks a button. Then, when they click the button again, it will slide back in.

Here is an example of what I mean. Notice how it looks like it's "under" the window on the left and how it doesn't extend past completely (but almost) to the bottom and the top:

Here's a picture of it when it is not out (the second window in the background is just the first image [the one above] because the browser was in the frame when I took the screen shot):

Answer 1

Two approaches:

1. Use a JLayeredPane . Upside is that you get the overlap effect that you're looking for. Downside is that JLP uses a null layout, which means your UI won't resize nicely without extra effort.

2. Use a CardLayout . Upside is that your layout will behave as you asked if resized. Downside is that you won't get the overlap effect. You're slide-out panel will just have blank space to right of it.

EDIT: I just noticed that your slide-out isn't overlapping, but extending outward to the right. I originally thought you meant something like the old Outlook UI. In that case, can it be any slide-out, or does it have to be anchored to the frame?

Here's a crude demo that simply uses a BorderLayout for the effect. The big difference I see between this demo and the screenshots are:

1. The frame's border extends with the slide-out in the demo
2. The slide-out panel isn't offset in the demo.

Code:

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
import javax.swing.*;
import javax.swing.border.*;

public class SlideOutPanelDemo
{
  private JPanel pnlMain;
  private JPanel pnlTools;
  private JFrame frame;

  public static void main(String[] args)
  {
    SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new Runnable()
    {
      public void run()
      {
        new SlideOutPanelDemo().createAndShowGUI();
      }
    });
  }

  public void createAndShowGUI()
  {
    JButton button = new JButton("Tools");    
    button.addActionListener(new ActionListener(){
      @Override
      public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event)
      {
        boolean visible = pnlTools.isVisible();
        pnlTools.setVisible(! visible);
        frame.pack();
      }
    });

    pnlTools = createToolsPanel();
    pnlMain = createMainPanel();

    JToolBar toolBar = new JToolBar();
    toolBar.add(button);

    JPanel contentPane = new JPanel();
    contentPane.setLayout(new BorderLayout());
    contentPane.setOpaque(true);
    contentPane.add(toolBar, BorderLayout.NORTH);
    contentPane.add(pnlMain, BorderLayout.WEST);
    contentPane.add(pnlTools, BorderLayout.EAST);

    pnlMain.setVisible(true);
    pnlTools.setVisible(false);

    JFrame.setDefaultLookAndFeelDecorated(true);
    frame = new JFrame("Slide Out Panel Demo");
    frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);
    frame.setContentPane(contentPane);
    frame.pack();
    frame.setLocationRelativeTo(null);
    frame.setVisible(true);
  }

  private JPanel createMainPanel()
  {
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Main"));
    panel.add(new JLabel("Field 1"));
    panel.add(new JTextField(20));
    panel.add(new JLabel("Field 2"));
    panel.add(new JTextField(20));
    panel.setSize(1000, 600);

    return panel;
  }

  private JPanel createToolsPanel()
  {
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setBackground(Color.YELLOW);
    Border b1 = BorderFactory.createTitledBorder("Tools");
    Border b2 = BorderFactory.createLineBorder(Color.BLUE, 2);
    panel.setBorder(BorderFactory.createCompoundBorder(b2, b1));
    panel.add(new JLabel("Thing 1"));
    panel.add(new JLabel("Thing 2"));
    panel.setSize(400, 600);

    return panel;
  }
}

Answer 2

With the help of a book, Swing Hacks , I created a sliding JFrame and a sliding JDialog. It took me a few hours to debug the code.

Here's a test run showing a JOptionPane slid part way out.

And all the way out.

Basically, I took the content pane of the JOptionPane, and animated it as an image.

You left click the slide sheet button to slide the JOptionPane out. You left click Yes or No on the JOptionPane to slide the JOptionPane back.

Here's the code to create the animated JFrame and animated JDialog.

Here's the code to test the animated JFrame.

import java.awt.BorderLayout;
import java.awt.event.ActionEvent;
import java.awt.event.ActionListener;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeEvent;
import java.beans.PropertyChangeListener;

import javax.swing.ImageIcon;
import javax.swing.JButton;
import javax.swing.JDialog;
import javax.swing.JFrame;
import javax.swing.JLabel;
import javax.swing.JOptionPane;
import javax.swing.JPanel;
import javax.swing.SwingUtilities;

public class SheetTest implements PropertyChangeListener, Runnable {

    JOptionPane     optionPane;
    AnimatedJFrame  frame;

    public static void main(String[] args) {
        SwingUtilities.invokeLater(new SheetTest());
    }

    @Override
    public void run() {
        // Build JOptionPane dialog
        optionPane = new JOptionPane("Do you want to save?",
                JOptionPane.QUESTION_MESSAGE, JOptionPane.YES_NO_OPTION);
        optionPane.addPropertyChangeListener(this);

        frame = new AnimatedJFrame("Sheet Test");
        frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

        // Put an image in the frame's content pane
        ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("images/Google Tile.jpg");
        JLabel label = new JLabel(icon);
        frame.getContentPane().add(label, BorderLayout.CENTER);

        JButton dropButton = new JButton("Slide sheet");
        dropButton.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
            @Override
            public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent event) {
                JDialog dialog = optionPane.createDialog(frame, "Irrelevant");
                frame.showJDialogAsSheet(dialog);
            }
        });

        frame.getContentPane().add(dropButton, BorderLayout.SOUTH);
        frame.pack();
        frame.setVisible(true);
    }

    @Override
    public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent event) {
        if (event.getPropertyName().equals(JOptionPane.VALUE_PROPERTY)) {
            frame.hideSheet();
        }

    }

}

And here's the image I used to create the test JFrame.
