声明一个已经创建的 JDialog

Question

This question might not make any sense, because I am incredibly confused. I am creating a UI using Swing in Netbeans. I have created a Dialog box by using the Swing UI. I want to open this Dialog when I click on a button on the main Frame. In the Source Code it already declares my Dialog as a variable. When I try to use setVisible on this Dialog variable it on shows the top of the box, the title and an exit button, none of the buttons or text that I added to the Dialog box. I was told I had to declare this Dialog box, but is it not already declared by the automatically generated code?

public class ComputeUI extends javax.swing.JFrame {

    /**
     * Creates new form ComputeUI
     */
    public ComputeUI() {
        initComponents();
    }

    /**
     * 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.

Answer 1

You need to call pack() on the created JDialog GCDDialog before setVisible(true) . (side note: variable names should never start with an uppercase letter)

You should use the Netbeans form designer for only one form at a time. So you should have ComputeUI.java and GCDDialog.java. This way Netbeans will correctly initialize both forms.

To make the link between both components, in ComputeUI class:

• declare a global variable: GCDDialog myDialog;
• in constructor: myDialog = new GCDDialog(...); // if created via Netbeans form designer, pack() will be automatically called
• and in jMenuItem1ActionPerformed: myDialog.setVisible(true);
