B4J Question How do I add JButton to a PaneWrapper in a Java wrapper for use in B4J ?

[ANTONIO ALBEIRO VALENCIA]

Hello everyone

I am making a wrapper in java to use it in B4J. I Use JButton from the javax.swing.JButton library.
How to add JButton to a PaneWrapper to use it in B4J ?

public void AddButton( anywheresoftware.b4j.objects.PaneWrapper panel )  {
 
    ImageIcon icon = new ImageIcon("E:\\java projects\\test\\src\\images\\logout.png");
    JButton button = new JButton("Click Me    ", icon);
    button.setBounds(50, 50, 200, 100);

    // Set text position relative to icon
    button.setVerticalTextPosition(SwingConstants.CENTER);
    button.setHorizontalTextPosition(SwingConstants.LEFT);

    button.setBorderPainted(true);
    button.setForeground(Color.black);
    button.setBackground(Color.GREEN);

    panel.AddNode(button, 0, 0, 200, 100);  <----- Here I need add the button to the panel
    
  }

JButton is part of Swing. You shouldn't use it as B4J uses the newer JavaFX framework.

Erel, thanks.

I send the type parameter Pane to the wrapper. How do I cast it to add the Button to the Pane ?

You can NOT use Swing-Objects together with JavaFX-Objects. They are INCOMPATIBLE.

Why do you want to use a jButton rather than a B4x/JavaFX Button?

@OP Look up SwingNode (javafx.embed.swing.SwingNode) - it lets you put swing nodes inside javafx scenes.

Thank you very much, It was what I needed.

Hi All,

A video of the library in operation

English : A video of the ButtonBar.jar library in operation for use with B4J. It does not use designer-created controls; it's just JavaFX code.
