SWING - Changing java cup to my gif

[Carty Ellis]

This works:

public void go() {
JFrame frame = new JFrame("DARS Data Loader");
JPanel panel = new JPanel();
panel.setBorder(new EtchedBorder(EtchedBorder.RAISED));
panel.setLayout(new BoxLayout(panel, BoxLayout.Y_AXIS));

ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("WizardTiny.GIF");
frame.setIconImage(image.getImage());
frame.setDefaultCloseOperation(JFrame.EXIT_ON_CLOSE);

This does not:

public class SwingSerial extends JDialog {

public SwingSerial(JFrame frame) {
super(frame, true);
setTitle( "DARS Serialize D/B" );
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("WizardTiny.GIF");
setIconImage(image.getImage());
setSize(500, 300);


The Title works, but I can't get the image to replace the cup. I anticipate my approach to be wrong, but what would be the "recommended" method?

ensure the logo has changed on the JFrame,
then pass the JFrame to the dialog

class MyDialog extends JDialog
{
  public MyDialog(JFrame parent)
  {
    super(parent);//<---this changes the logo
    etc..
  }
}

When I use this code:

public class SwingSerial extends JDialog {

public SwingSerial(JFrame frame) {

super(frame, true);
ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("WizardTiny.GIF");
frame.setIconImage(image.getImage());
setTitle( "DARS Serialize D/B" );

The Title in the frame is changed, and the default (java cup) icon is gone. No errors are thrown. There is just no WizardTiny.GIF on the frame. If I comment out the ImageIcon line and the frame.setIconImage lines I get the java cup.

If I comment out just the ImageIcon line it wants an image defined.

If I comment out just the frame.setIconImage I get the java cup.

Where is the disconnect in what I am doing?

I'd say that you aren't loading the image correctly. Where is the image in relation to your class files?

ImageIcon image = new ImageIcon("WizardTiny.GIF");

And is your filename correct with caps and all?

Whoops!

Was in wrong directory. Thanks. It works now.
