Re: Help with Swing

What I am trying to achieve here is say is a GUI application designed
with Swing- The first of the tasks will be when I click the Add1st
Button it disappears and in its place three buttons appears namely Up
Arrow icon,Down Arrow and delete button. Also in addition to this
three textfields used by the SetBounds(I am new to setBounds as I am
used to limited simple GUI creation such as BorderLayout,GridLayout
for look and feel appearance) property appears.Say I enter a string in
each of the textfields and then press the Up Arrow (ToolTipText Add
One Row Above) Button , the textfield flips over(like the version of
"Spinner Control") and the textfields appears empty,prompting the user
to enter another row of entry(the previous entry should be stored
dynamically and should show up when the Down Arrow Button is pressed).

Till date after trying many controls I have been unable to show the
textfields and the three buttons on clicking the Add 1st button

A small version of code

//Declarations somewhere

public class T1Panel implements IEEventListener{

private static final String AddActions="RC_ADDFIRST";
private IEButton AddFirstButton;
    private IEButton rowControlButton;
private static final String[] ROW_CONTROL_ACTIONS =
{"RC_UP","RC_DOWN","RC_DELETE"};

public void go() {
// Add UpDownDEL Buttons
            AddFirstButton=new IEButton("");
            AddFirstButton.setBounds(setHeaderRowX_Pixels
+45,row*IEFrame.ROW_HEIGHT+15,40,IEFrame.ROW_HEIGHT+4);
            AddFirstButton.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon("images/
T1DriverAdd1st.jpg"));
            AddFirstButton.setToolTipText("Add 1st row");
            AddFirstButton.setActionCommand(AddActions);
            panelStats.checkMaxX_bounds(AddFirstButton.getBounds());
            AddFirstButton.addActionListener(this.t1Frame);
            aContainer.add(AddFirstButton);

            row++;
            // Get the actioncommand of button AddFirstButton so that row
fields are displayed and row control button shows up
            buttonClickV2("AddActions","");
            if ("RC_ADDFIRST" .equals(AddFirstButton.getName())) // Not sure If
I am doing right here
            {
            int numFields = tfs.getNumFieldsInSet();
                        // Getting the number of fields row fields so
that makeTextField method can be used to display the textfields....
            //numFields = -1;
            int xOffset = fieldXOffset;
            for(int i=0;i<numFields;i++) {
                T1Field fldInSet = tfs.getNthField(i);
                int fldInSetType = fldInSet.getFieldType();
                if(fldInSetType != T1Field.FLD_TYPE_SLCT2) {
                    IETextField e2 =
makeTextField(fldInSet.getInputLength(),fldInSet,xOffset,row); // new
IETextField(flen);
                    paramData.addNthObject(0,i,e2);
                    aContainer.add(e2);
                    xOffset += (fldInSet.getInputLength() +
T1FieldSet.X_STR_BETWEEN_SET_FIELDS.length()) *
IEFrame.COL_WIDTH_PER_CHAR;
                } else {
                    JComboBox cb1 = makeComboBox(fldInSet,xOffset,row);
                    paramData.addNthObject(0,i,cb1);
                    xOffset += ( cb1.getBounds().width + cb1.getBounds().x) +
(T1FieldSet.X_STR_BETWEEN_SET_FIELDS.length()) *
IEFrame.COL_WIDTH_PER_CHAR;
                    aContainer.add(cb1);
                }
            }
            }
            //Checks if fieldset rows is complete
                for(int b=0;b<3;b++) {
                    rowControlButton = new IEButton("");
                    rowControlButton.setActionCommand(ROW_CONTROL_ACTIONS[b]);
                    rowControlButton.setVisible(false);
                if(b == 0) {
                  rowControlButton.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon("images/
T1DriverUp.jpg"));
                    rowControlButton.setToolTipText("Add 1st Row Above");

                }
                else if(b == 1) {
                    rowControlButton.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon("images/
T1DriverDown.jpg"));
                    rowControlButton.setToolTipText("Add One Row below");

                }
                else if(b == 2) {
                    rowControlButton.setIcon(new javax.swing.ImageIcon("images/
T1DriverX.jpg"));
                    rowControlButton.setToolTipText("Delete row");

                }

                rowControlButton.setBounds(setHeaderRowX_Pixels + (45*(b
+2)),row * IEFrame.ROW_HEIGHT,40,IEFrame.ROW_HEIGHT);
                panelStats.checkMaxX_bounds(rowControlButton.getBounds());
                rowControlButton.addActionListener(this.t1Frame);
                aContainer.add(rowControlButton);

            }

        }

}

// Button Clicks - events

public void buttonClickV2(java.lang.String buttonLabel,String msg) {
    if(true)
        System.err.println("buttonClickV2 - label->" + buttonLabel + " Msg-
    
if(IEFrame.BUTTON_CLICK_DEBUG)
        System.err.println("T1Panel.buttonClickV2 - CLICKS= " +
T1Panel.BUTTON_CLICKS++ + " buttonClick Method In T1Panel ->" +
buttonLabel + " Msg->" + msg);
    if (buttonLabel.equals("Cancel")) {
        fieldsValidA(this.paramData, false);
        // call to set values so Part/Oper updated on mod select
        this.drvr.T1PanelCancel(false);
        return;
    }

    else if(buttonLabel.equals(VIEW_MODEL) ||
buttonLabel.equals(VIEW_FLAT)) {
        T1Field tf = (T1Field) this.paramData.getFieldVector().get(0);
     String p = tf.getUserInputStr();
     boolean flat = false;
     if(buttonLabel.equals(VIEW_FLAT))
     flat = true;
     this.drvr.startModelViewer(p,flat);
     return;
     }
    else if(buttonLabel.equals(AddActions)){
     System.err.println("Add 1st row to fieldset");

        AddFirstButton.setVisible(false); // disables the button

        this.t1Frame.repaint();
       //Incomplete here

         How do I call rowControlButton to setEnabled(true) because
setEnabled True of rowControlButton doesn't work ...Returns the last
row RoWControlActions[2] the Delete Icon button that is all....

    Hope this helps

Thanks in advance ...WOuld like help .....in this....
