Java Dockablewindow Disabled JTextField.

ShaunMartin — Mon, 10 Jan 2011 23:19:37 GMT

Hi,

I have created a add-in for Arcmap that contains a DockableWindow with a panel and a JButton and JTextfield. When I load the DockableWindow my button and textfield are visible and the button behaves as correctly and can be clicked .The textfield is un-useable it will not allow adding text etc. I have ensured that it is editable via the code and I have even tried to force the focus via the code but I'm still unable to use it. I have also tried using a JTextArea with the same result.

Here is a sample of the code from the dockablewindow createUI method

@Override
public Component createUI() {

   panel = new JPanel();

      keywordTF = new JTextField(10);
      keywordTF.setText("something");
      panel.setLayout(new BorderLayout());

      panel.add(keywordTF,BorderLayout.NORTH);
      return panel;

}

Any help with this would be great.

Thanks Shaun

Hi Keith,

No unfortunately I haven't been able to resolve this problem. You would think that ESRI would monitor these forums and give some solution to issues such as this.

Cheers,
Shaun

Hi Shaun - I logged and incident with ESRI and they have just confirmed that
this is a bug. I will post again if ESRI contacts me with a fix, or if I find a workaround.

Thanks, Keith

Excerpt from Esri:

Here is the defect which is logged for this issue:

Has anybody a workaround or an information for the fix?

Thanks,

Hi Tom,

The only work around I could think of was to put an edit button that pops a JOptionPane get the input and push it into the disabled edit box. Ugly I know but its the only way I could think of.

Cheers,
Shaun

As far as I can tell it is still an issue in the 10.4 prerelease Java API.
