How do I turn on the Caps Lock button?

By Wayan in AWT, Core API 0 Comment

The code below show you how to activate the Caps Lock button programmatically. Setting the locking state to Boolean.TRUE will turn the Caps Lock on.

package org.kodejava.awt;

import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

public class TurnCapsLockOn {
    public static void main(String[] args) throws Exception {
        // Gets the default toolkit.
        Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

        // Update the locking state for caps lock button to true 
        // will turn the caps lock on.
        toolkit.setLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_CAPS_LOCK, Boolean.TRUE);
    }
}

How do I read the status of Scroll Lock key?

By Wayan in AWT, Core API 0 Comment

This example show you how to detect if the Scroll Lock key is in active mode. If you run the program you will get an output telling you that the Scroll Lock button is active or not active.

package org.kodejava.awt;

import java.awt.Toolkit;
import java.awt.event.KeyEvent;

public class ScrollLockState {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        Toolkit toolkit = Toolkit.getDefaultToolkit();

        // Get the locking state of the Scroll Lock button. This method 
        // return boolean true value if it is "on".
        boolean isOn = toolkit.getLockingKeyState(KeyEvent.VK_SCROLL_LOCK);

        System.out.println("ScrollLock button is " + (isOn ? "on" : "off"));
    }
}

How do I sort a java.util.Enumeration?

By Wayan in Core API, Util Package 1 Comment

In this code snippet you will see how to sort the content of an Enumeration object. We start by creating a random numbers and stored it in a Vector. We use these numbers and create a Enumeration object by calling Vector‘s elements() method. We convert it to java.util.List and then sort the content of the List using Collections.sort() method. Here is the complete code snippet.

package org.kodejava.util;

import java.util.*;

public class EnumerationSort {
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        // Creates random data for sorting source. Will use java.util.Vector
        // to store the random integer generated.
        Random random = new Random();
        Vector<Integer> data = new Vector<>();
        for (int i = 0; i < 10; i++) {
            data.add(Math.abs(random.nextInt()));
        }

        // Get the enumeration from the vector object and convert it into
        // a java.util.List. Finally, we sort the list using
        // Collections.sort() method.
        Enumeration<Integer> enumeration = data.elements();
        List<Integer> list = Collections.list(enumeration);
        Collections.sort(list);

        // Prints out all generated number after sorted.
        for (Integer number : list) {
            System.out.println("Number = " + number);
        }
    }
}

An example result of the code above is:

Number = 20742427
Number = 163885840
Number = 204704456
Number = 560032429
Number = 601762809
Number = 1300593322
Number = 1371678147
Number = 1786580321
Number = 1786731301
Number = 1856215303

Remove a node from JTree

How do I get the selected nodes of a JTree?

By Wayan in Swing 0 Comment

The following example show how to use the JTree.getSelectionPaths() method to get the selected node of a JTree component. This method returns an array of TreePath objects. In the case to get the last node in the path we can call the TreePath.getLastPathComponent().

In the code below when you pressed the button the listener gets the selection paths and print out the last path component of the selected nodes.
