Progress monitor is not a visible component.

True, but you *know* what he was asking, why not help out?

I'll at least share what I found, maybe somebody else can chime in.

The designers of the ProgressMonitor class used a JDialog to display the progress monitor. Unfortunately, they made the JDialog field private with no accessors, so...you are out of luck, there is really no way to get a reference to the JDialog so that you can resize it.

I even tried padding the title or note with spaces, but no joy.

True. And I did provide a link for details. Did you find time to go through that link?

just use the ProgressMonitor code, changing all the 'ProgressMonitor' to your own name
you'll need to add your own extended JOptionPane class for getWindowForComponent()
you'll also need to decide if you want to worry about SwingUtilities.SharedOwnerFrame,
I just commented it out, otherwise additional code would be required
and, the the ripped code, change dialog.pack() to dialog.setSize(1000,200) (or whatever size)

anyway, took less than 10 minutes, and a 1000 x 200 ProgressMonitor displayed OK

I have the same kind of problem. Can you guide me how to increase the size of the ProgressMonitor.

I have the code like this :

public JFrame getMyParentFrame()
{
return new JFrame();
}

ProgressMonitor progressMonitor = new ProgressMonitor(context.getMyParentFrame(),
"PM Search in progress...",
"Calculating file numbers...",
0, 100);

progressMonitor.setMillisToDecideToPopup(0);
progressMonitor.setMillisToPopup(0);
progressMonitor.setProgress(1);


String note = "Searching file " + currentFileNumber +
"/" + totalNumberOfFiles + "... Found " +
searchResults.size() + " records...";

progressMonitor.setNote(note);


In the above code "currentFileNumber " ,"totalNumberOfFiles " and searchResults.size() are some dynamic values.

In my progress monitor window, the note was displayed only till ...Fou as set in the note.

The searchResults.size() + " records..." is not shown in the progress monitor window. but if user enlarges the corners of the window he is able to see the full message.

Is it possible to increase the size? please help

steps are in previous post - just tested again, java 1.6.0_20, and 1000x200 displayed fine.

Hello Michael, you have told like this

just use the ProgressMonitor code, changing all the 'ProgressMonitor' to your own name
you'll need to add your own extended JOptionPane class for getWindowForComponent()
you'll also need to decide if you want to worry about SwingUtilities.SharedOwnerFrame,

As I am new to swings, I am not able to understand your words.

I request you to please post the code here. That will be more helpful. Thanks in advance

you already have 99+% of the code in the source file.

in the last 12 months this thread has been viewed 500+ times (check listing at bottom of page).
everyone else has been able to follow the steps.

> As I am new to swings..

Perhaps you should start learning on simpler projects, and it is 'Swing' not 'swings'

Hi Michael, I have taken the source code of ProgressMonitor and chnaged the names and during compilation I am stuck up. You told that

you'll need to add your own extended JOptionPane class for getWindowForComponent()
you'll also need to decide if you want to worry about SwingUtilities.SharedOwnerFrame,




I am getting this compilation error:





I have one more doubt here: Do I have to add this whole new ProgressMonitor class to my project code to resize progressMonitor? Also for JOptionPane problem in the above you mean to say that I have to write one more class that extends JOptionPane and use this new class to extend in the new ProgressMonitor class?

if you've copied the progressMonitor code into it's own separate file, about line 140 you'll find this inner class

a few more lines to this

which needs to be changed to this

and MyOptionPane is a separate class (just add it at the end, and you can call it anything you want)

a few more lines after ...MyOptionPane.getWindowForComponent(... you'll find this line

this is where you size the progressMonitor to what you want, so change it to

in the same section as all the above, that only leaves

I commented it out, and everything works fine. You'll have to decide how you want to handle it,
as mentioned in my first reply in this thread
