I am creating a program with multiple tabs (JTabbedPane) in the tabs there is a JPanel with all my conent on. When I press start (JButton) I create a new instance of Task (a class that extends Swingworker ) and I want to set all my menuItems to enable(false). this is on a JFrame.
but I can't reach the JFrame from the Jpanel
Controller class:
public class Controller {
private Task task;
public Controller() {
newTask();
}
public void newTask(){
task = new Task();
}
public Task getTask() {
return task;
}
}
Frame class:
public class Frame extends JFrame implements PropertyChangeListener {
private Controller controller;
public Frame(String title, Controller controller) {
super(title);
this.controller = controller;
controller.getTask().addPropertyChangeListener(this);
JTabbedPane tabbedPane = new JTabbedPane();
TabbedPane0 tabbedPane0 = new TabbedPane0(controller);
JPanel jPanel = new JPanel();
tabbedPane.add(tabbedPane0);
tabbedPane.add(jPanel);
add(tabbedPane);
setSize(400, 500);
setVisible(true);
controller.getTask().TestPropertyChange();
}
@Override
public void propertyChange(PropertyChangeEvent evt) {
if (evt.getPropertyName() == "changed") {
System.out.println("Changed property, disabled all MenuItems that I added on this FRAME");
}else if(evt.getPropertyName().equals("test")){
System.out.println("Tested");
}
}
}
TabbedPane0 class:
public class TabbedPane0 extends JPanel {
private Controller controller;
public TabbedPane0(Controller controller) {
this.controller = controller;
JButton button = new JButton("Start");
add(button);
button.addActionListener(new ActionListener() {
@Override
public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
controller.newTask();
/*My frame needs to be added to the TaskPropertyChangeListeners but I can't acces it*/
controller.getTask().addPropertyChangeListener(Frame);
}
});
}
}
Task class:
public class Task extends SwingWorker<Void, Void> {
@Override
protected Void doInBackground() throws Exception {
System.out.println("Task Is executed");
return null;
}
public void TestPropertyChange(){
firePropertyChange("test", null,null);
}
}
Run class:
public class Run {
public static void main(String[] args) {
Controller controller = new Controller();
new Frame("StackOverFlow Example TabbedPane", controller);
}
}
I found out that I could just use this:
this gets my Parent JFrame where my JTabbedPane/Jpanel is added to
controller.getTask().addPropertyChangeListener((JFrame) SwingUtilities.getWindowAncestor(FolderCreatorTab.this));
