setType(), sets the type of the window.

The method setType(Window.Type type) sets the type of the window. This method can only be called while the window is not displayable.

Where type can be:

• Type.NORMAL: Represents a normal window. This is the default type for objects of the Window class or its descendants. Use this type for regular top-level windows.
• Type.POPUP: Represents a popup window. A popup window is a temporary window such as a drop-down menu or a tooltip. On some platforms, windows of that type may be forcibly made undecorated even if they are instances of the Frame or Dialog class, and have decorations enabled.
• Type.UTILITY: Represents a utility window. A utility window is usually a small window such as a toolbar or a palette. The native system may render the window with smaller title-bar if the window is either a Frame or a Dialog object, and if it has its decorations enabled.

Example:

- Create a new Java project of Java application, with main code named JavaTestSwing.java and JFrameWin.java extends javax.swing.JFrame.

import java.awt.event.ActionListener;

javax.swing.JColorChooser

In this example, I'm going to open a JColorChooser dialog from menu to select color for background.

Continuous modify JFrameWin.java from last exercise "Example of using Swing JMenu". But, I can't setBackground on JFrame - I don't know why! So I add a JPanel over the JFrame.

Run a JFrame application using SwingUtilities.invokeLater

javax.swing.SwingUtilities is a collection of utility methods for Swing. The method invokeLater(Runnable doRun) causes doRun.run() to be executed asynchronously on the AWT event dispatching thread. This will happen after all pending AWT events have been processed. This method should be used when an application thread needs to update the GUI.

Update UI in JavaFX Application Thread using Platform.runLater()

Last exercise show how to do something in background thread using ExecutorService. The code update UI element(textCounter) in background thread. It's not a good practice to do so, may be it cannot run on some OS!

It's a easy approach to solve it with javafx.application.Platform class. The method Platform.runLater(java.lang.Runnable runnable) run the specified Runnable on the JavaFX Application Thread at some unspecified time in the future. You can also call Platform.isFxApplicationThread() to check if the calling thread is the JavaFX Application Thread.

Example of using ExecutorService

ScheduledExecutorService is an ExecutorService that can schedule commands to run after a given delay, or to execute periodically.

package javafx.ex;

import java.util.concurrent.Executors;
import java.util.concurrent.ScheduledExecutorService;
import java.util.concurrent.TimeUnit;
import javafx.application.Application;

import javafx.scene.control.Button;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.layout.VBox;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

/**

public class testScheduledExecutorService extends Application {

        btn.setOnAction(new EventHandler<ActionEvent>() {

            }
        });
        
        textCounter = new Text();

        primaryStage.setTitle("java-buddy.blogspot.com");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }

                    public void run() {
                        counter++;
                        if(counter<=10){
                            textCounter.setText("Counting: " 
                                    + String.valueOf(counter));
                        }else{
                            scheduler.shutdown();
                            textCounter.setText("-Finished-");
                        }

                1, 
                1, 
                TimeUnit.SECONDS);        
    }
}

Please note that it's not a good practice to update UI in background thread. Refer to next article to Update UI in JavaFX Application Thread using Platform.runLater().

Set font of text using FXML vs JavaFX

Example to set font using FXML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import java.util.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.text.*?>

<AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="200" prefWidth="320" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" fx:controller="javafxml_text.Sample">
    <children>

        <Text layoutX="10" layoutY="30" stroke="BLACK" text="Set Font in FXML">
            <font>
                <Font name="Arial Black" size="24.0" />
            </font>
        </Text>
        
    </children>
</AnchorPane>

Example to set font using JavaFX:

package javafx_text;

import javafx.application.Application;
import javafx.scene.Scene;
import javafx.scene.layout.StackPane;
import javafx.scene.text.Font;
import javafx.scene.text.Text;
import javafx.stage.Stage;

/**
 *
 * @web http://java-buddy.blogspot.com/
 */
public class JavaFX_Text extends Application {

    /**
     * @param args the command line arguments
     */
    public static void main(String[] args) {
        launch(args);
    }
    
    @Override
    public void start(Stage primaryStage) {

        Text text = new Text();
        text.setText("Text Font in JavaFX");
        text.setFont(Font.font("Arial Black", 24.0));

        StackPane root = new StackPane();
        root.getChildren().add(text);
        
        Scene scene = new Scene(root, 300, 250);
        
        primaryStage.setTitle("java-buddy.blogspot.com");
        primaryStage.setScene(scene);
        primaryStage.show();
    }
}

Drop shadow on text, using FXML

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<?import java.lang.*?>
<?import java.util.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.control.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.layout.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.text.*?>
<?import javafx.scene.effect.*?>

<AnchorPane id="AnchorPane" prefHeight="200" prefWidth="320" xmlns:fx="http://javafx.com/fxml" fx:controller="javafxml_text.Sample">
    <children>

        <Text layoutX="126" layoutY="30" stroke="BLACK" text="Text with Shadow (using FXML)">
            <effect>
                <DropShadow color="GRAY" offsetX="5.0" offsetY="5.0" />
            </effect>
        </Text>
        
    </children>
</AnchorPane>
