How to make a JPanel inside a JFrame fill the whole window?



In the below example, how can I get the JPanel to take up all of the JFrame? I set the preferred size to 800x420 but it only actually fills 792x391.







import java.awt.Color;

import java.awt.Dimension;

import java.awt.Graphics2D;

import java.awt.image.BufferStrategy;

import javax.swing.JFrame;

import javax.swing.JPanel;



public class BSTest extends JFrame {

BufferStrategy bs;

DrawPanel panel = new DrawPanel();



public BSTest() {

setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

setLayout(new BorderLayout()); // edited line

setVisible(true);

setSize(800,420);

setLocationRelativeTo(null);

setIgnoreRepaint(true);

createBufferStrategy(2);

bs = getBufferStrategy();

panel.setIgnoreRepaint(true);

panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(800,420));

add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER); // edited line

panel.drawStuff();

}



public class DrawPanel extends JPanel {

public void drawStuff() {

while(true) {

try {

Graphics2D g = (Graphics2D)bs.getDrawGraphics();

g.setColor(Color.BLACK);

System.out.println("W:"+getSize().width+", H:"+getSize().height);

g.fillRect(0,0,getSize().width,getSize().height);

bs.show();

g.dispose();

Thread.sleep(20);

} catch (Exception e) { System.exit(0); }

}

}

}



public static void main(String[] args) {

BSTest bst = new BSTest();

}

}

  1. Here's an alternative using pack instead.

    import java.awt.Color;
    import java.awt.Dimension;
    import javax.swing.JFrame;
    import javax.swing.JPanel;

    public class PackExample extends JFrame {

    public PackExample(){
    JPanel panel = new JPanel();
    panel.setPreferredSize(new Dimension(800,600));
    panel.setBackground(Color.green);
    add(panel);
    pack();
    setVisible(true);
    }

    public static void main(String[] args){
    new PackExample();
    }

    }

  2. If you are having only one panel in frame and nothing else then try this:


    Set BorderLayout in frame.
    Add panel in frame with BorderLayout.CENTER




    May be this is happening because of while loop in JPanel.(Not sure why? finding actual reason. Will update when find it.) If you replace it with paintComponent(g) method all works fine:

    public BSTest() {
    //--- your code as it is
    add(panel, BorderLayout.CENTER);
    //-- removed panel.drawStuff();
    }

    public class DrawPanel extends JPanel {
    @Override
    protected void paintComponent(Graphics g) {
    super.paintComponent(g);
    Graphics2D g2d = (Graphics2D) g;
    g2d.setColor(Color.BLACK);
    System.out.println("W:" + getSize().width + ", H:" + getSize().height);
    g2d.fillRect(0, 0, getSize().width, getSize().height);
    }
    }

    //your code as it is.

  3. If you want to fill the JFrame with the whole of JPanel you need to setUndecorated to true i.e. frame.setUndecorated(true);. But now you have to worry about your MAXIMIZE< MINIMIZE, and CLOSE Buttons, towards the top right side(Windows Operating System)

div not scrolling properly with slimScroll plugin

I am using the slimScroll plugin for jQuery by Piotr Rochala Which is a great plugin for nice scrollbars on most browsers but I am stuck because I am using it for a chat box and whenever the user appends new text to the boxit does scroll using the .scrollTop() method however the plugin's scrollbar doesnt scroll with it and when the user wants to look though the chat history it will start scrolling from near the top. I have made a quick demo of my situation http://jsfiddle.net/DY9CT/2/ Does anyone know how to solve this problem?

Why does this javascript based printing cause Safari to refresh the page?

The page I am working on has a javascript function executed to print parts of the page. For some reason, printing in Safari, causes the window to somehow update. I say somehow, because it does not really refresh as in reload the page, but rather it starts the "rendering" of the page from start, i.e. scroll to top, flash animations start from 0, and so forth. The effect is reproduced by this fiddle: http://jsfiddle.net/fYmnB/ Clicking the print button and finishing or cancelling a print in Safari causes the screen to "go white" for a sec, which in my real website manifests itself as something "like" a reload. While running print button with, let's say, Firefox, just opens and closes the print dialogue without affecting the fiddle page in any way. Is there something with my way of calling the browsers print method that causes this, or how can it be explained - and preferably, avoided? P.S.: On my real site the same occurs with Chrome. In the ex
