What is the best way to define setColor in a compiled GUI?
Posted: 08-Oct-2020 14:19

In the FancyBox BSH UI I have in onload.bsh the statements:

     JColorSelector menuBootstrap_backgroundColor = new JColorSelector("menuBootstrap_backgroundColor");
     menuBootstrap_backgroundColor.setColor("#ffffff");

If I port this to a compiled GUI, NetBeans reports illegal start of type for the 2nd statement.

File SkinModel.java contains the statement

public String menuBootstrap_backgroundColor="#ffffff";r

What is the best way to change in the 2nd problem statement?

BTW Is there somewhere a list of differences between BSH and Compiled codes?

I have a simular problem with the last statement in

	JComboBox menuAlignment = new JComboBox(new Object[] {
		new Item("mr-auto", "Left"),
		new Item("mx-auto", "Centered"),
		new Item("ml-auto", "Right")
	});
	menuAlignment.setSelectedIndex(1);

Edit:

I found the solution, I have in Netbeans to move the setColor and SetSelectedIndex to the next section where the controls are added to the panel.

But now I have another problem:

If I move the jar file to the skin lib folder and open an album made with the skin I get the next message:

We're sorry. jAlbum is unable to start. Please pass this error report to support@jalbum.net
Thank you for your patience.
 
java.lang.UnsupportedClassVersionError: The FancyBox skin requires a more recent Java version)
	at se.datadosen.jalbum.AlbumBean.setDataTypes(AlbumBean.java:5292)

The Source / Binary Format field in NetBeans shows JDK 14 and I get trhe same error if I change that into JDK 13 or JDK 8

Maybe the error is to do with how you are starting jAlbum, see https://jalbum.net/forum/thread.jspa?messageID=338115&#338115

In any event, if you want help debugging a compiled skin then providing your current source files would help. Also, make a new post as it is easier than having to read edit notes.

I have a related question about color settings:
I use now this code:

JColorSelector menuBootstrap_backgroundColor = new JColorSelector("menuBootstrap_backgroundColor");
  {
              menuBootstrap_backgroundColor.setColor("#ffffff");
             add(menuBootstrap_backgroundColor);
   }
 };

But my SkinModel.java file contains the statement

	public String menuBootstrap_backgroundColor="#ffffff";

So I wonder, is it allowed and recommende to remove the menuBootstrap_backgroundColor.setColor("#ffffff") statement?

Well I tried it and I see I can remove the setColor statements.

Correct

Yes, just confirming what you figured out. With defaults in your SkinModel, you don't need to initialize components any further.

Thanks, but is that also correct for a BeanShell GUI?
