change the color of the jprogressBar

[kalcio]

hello,
I need help for my code, I created an interface that contains a button and a JProgressBar with the netbeans interface, but I do not know how to change the color of the JProgressBar, I tried the method setBackground (Color.color), click right on the JProgressBar proprties Does not change the color Can Any One please help me and thanks.

[stultuske]

well, for variables in an interface, you can only declare Constants, so I don't think you should declare a JProgressbar there. could you show us your code, so we can see a bit more of what you are doing?

[JamesCherrill]

setForeground(someColor); works for me.

[kalcio]

ok,this is my code,my interface is a boutton "start" with a Jprogressbar,i want to change the color progress of the JprogressBar to the blue,
thanks a lot for your help

not easy job with Nimbus, you have to define own Painter for Nimbus Defaults, much luck

[kalcio]

how can I resolve this problem please help me,I'am a biginner in java

[mKorbel]

1) again not easy jog, nor for beginer

2) I'm lazy that wrote that for myself, there are must exist examples for Nimbus Painter,

3) how can I resolve this problem please help me,I'am a biginner in java == use Nimbus as without any modifications,

4) I'am a biginner in java == modifications in Look & Feel, changes for Colors, Skins ...., required deepest knowledges about Swing and very good from Java, no way

5) Nimbus is too Buggy, oudated, non_user_friendy, nor easy settable, use some of todays Look and Feels,

A quick question for mKorbel:
why three different PropertyChangeSupport objects, isn't the property name enough to distinguish the events? thanks.

[DavidKroukamp]

pleaze help me sir,i need to correct this code

I hope maybe these might help:http://stackoverflow.com/questions/7174420/change-colors-for-jprogressbar-with-nimbus , http://docs.oracle.com/javase/7/docs/api/javax/swing/plaf/nimbus/package-summary.html and http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3480125/setting-the-colors-of-a-jprogressbar-text

[mKorbel]

@JamesCherrill

1) let's imagine that there are three Models

2) let's imagine that there are three SwingWorkers (Executor.execu...)

3) SwingWorker required strictly naming of each thread, otherwise you can get only Got Exception

4) that's most confortable naming that (there are only these three threads, then there are only these three areas that can returns exception) before as multiplaying XxxProperty(Xxx),

- maybe wrong habbits, but code is readable and simple for visual refractoring, and in debug mode returs me real statuses, sure that same as creating Object for every methods, that's my decision, habbits and on 1st place layzness

- but true is that I codding only Linear way and if I returns any Object that this Object doesn't required any additional whatever, Object is before anything properly named, validated and formatted,

[JamesCherrill]

OK, thank you. J.

[JamesCherrill]

how can I resolve this problem please help me,I'am a biginner in java

Did you try setForeground(someColor) like I suggested?

[kalcio]

thanks for all my problem was resolved and mKorbel thanks for the example
