Everyone watch my code and help me. I'm building a simple program like Paint the windows. Here, I just do the free drawing button.
But when I press the button and draw freehand drawing, then the panel draw the toolbar to copy the image above and press a button every time a new image, it's back button to copy it.
Everyone watch and help her fix. Thank you so much more.

Thanks everyone!

The code does not compile, because some classes are missing.

Can you explain what problems you are having with the program.

This is my source code: www.mediafire.com/?850cmdb7gg3f04k

When I run my app, click to the btnFreehand and draw to the DrawingArea, the DrawingArea has an image of the Toolbar above. I can draw normaly. When I click to the btnBgColor, the chooseColor Dialog appear and the image of it is draw in the panel Drawing Area. And I can't change the backGroundcolor, Although I can change the Backgroud color normaly before.
I don't speak English well. Thanks everyone!

I can't change the backGroundcolor, Although I can change the Backgroud color normaly before.

What did you change? What was the code like when you could change the background color?

The only drawing I can do is the FreeHand.
To see what the problems with code that does not work are, you need to debug the code by adding println statements to it to show the execution flow and the values of the variables that control what it is doing.

public void setbgColor(Color cl){
bgColor = cl;
this.setBackground(bgColor);
}

and

if(e.getSource() == btnBgColor){
Color a = JColorChooser.showDialog(null, "Background Color", da.getbgColor());
da.setbgColor(a);
lbgColor.setBackground(a);
}

Please explain what the posted code is for? Is that the old code that used to work??
If that is put into the current code does it work as you want?

These are my problems.
The first: When I click btnBgColor to choose the color of backgroud
Click Here

The second: When I click btnFreehand and draw some ... line.
Click Here

I don't want like this

What do you want to change about the way the program gets a color from the user?

What is wrong with the freehand drawing? What do you want the program to do differently?

Click Here

No. You can see, when I have clicked btnBgColor and have chosen the color of Backgroud on ChooseColor Dialog, then the panel Drawing Area have a image of ChooseColor Dialog although it has been close. And the code I use to change the Backgroud Color of Panel DrawingArea not work.

Click Here

And this is the image when I have clicked btnFreehand and drawn some line on the DrawingArea Panel. The panel Drawing Area have a image of Toolbar above.

Sorry if I have told not clearly. My English not well.
Thanks!

There is no code to paint the background color. You need to add a call to fillRect() to set the color as you want it.

Why are there two toolbars shown in your image? I only get one when I execute the program.

Can you post the code you fix for me?
When i use the btnFreehand and draw some line on the Drawing panel. It alway have an image of Toolbar above.
I don't know why.
Can you teamview for me. My yahoo is : taykem1991
Thank you very much!

Sorry, I don't write programs for students. I work on their code so I know where the problems are and then try to help them find and fix the problems.
I don' t know why you have an image of the Toolbar. How are you executing the program?
