Hi. I'm making my own application window using an undecorated frame.
For the application window, I'm making my own tabs by using 2 labels for each tab option. One for the tab texture, and one for the tab name. Currently, I've only have the File and Edit tabs for now.
I'm trying to make it so when I click lblFile, the tabFile (which is behind lblFile) changes the label icon to the "tab_selected" image. I've managed to so this, but it appears as an error.
For some reason, eclipse won't allow me to do this because tabFile is behind lblFile.
Is there anyway to get around this?
Edit: Here's the code for my File and Edit tab. By the way, they are in a jPanel
JLabel lblEdit = new JLabel("Edit");
lblEdit.setForeground(new Color(0, 0, 0));
lblEdit.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
file = false;
tabFile.setVisible(false); // The line shows up as an error.
lblFile.setForeground(new Color(0, 0, 0));
edit = true;
tabEdit.setVisible(true); // The line shows up as an error.
lblEdit.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
}
@Override
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
if(edit == false) {
lblEdit.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
}
}
@Override
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
if(edit == false) {
lblEdit.setForeground(new Color(0, 0, 0));
}
}
});
lblEdit.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.TOP);
lblEdit.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
lblEdit.setBounds(53, 1, 44, 26);
barMenu.add(lblEdit);
JLabel lblFile = new JLabel("File");
lblFile.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
lblFile.addMouseListener(new MouseAdapter() {
@Override
public void mouseClicked(MouseEvent e) {
file = true;
tabFile.setVisible(true); // The line shows up as an error.
lblFile.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
edit = false;
tabEdit.setVisible(false); // The line shows up as an error.
lblEdit.setForeground(new Color(0, 0, 0));
}
@Override
public void mouseEntered(MouseEvent e) {
if(file == false) {
lblEdit.setForeground(new Color(255, 255, 255));
}
}
@Override
public void mouseExited(MouseEvent e) {
if(file == false) {
lblEdit.setForeground(new Color(0, 0, 0));
}
}
});
lblFile.setVerticalAlignment(SwingConstants.TOP);
lblFile.setHorizontalAlignment(SwingConstants.CENTER);
lblFile.setBounds(2, 1, 44, 26);
barMenu.add(lblFile);
JLabel tabEdit = new JLabel(); // Don't really need "" as I'm using this for an image.
tabEdit.setVisible(false);
tabEdit.setIcon(new ImageIcon(CustomTab.class.getResource("/dtaylormedia/customtab/assets/tabs/tabEdit.png")));
tabEdit.setBounds(50, 0, 49, 31);
barMenu.add(tabEdit);
JLabel tabFile = new JLabel(); // Don't really need "" as I'm using this for an image.
tabFile.setIcon(new ImageIcon(CustomTab.class.getResource("/dtaylormedia/customtab/assets/tabs/tabFile.png")));
tabFile.setBounds(0, 0, 46, 31);
barMenu.add(tabFile);
