Enjoying working with Netbeans but....
|
|
|
| something's missing. I used the Sun site (kudos to Mark Space for
pointing me to it) tutorial on using Matisse as a model for my program.
I was able to create my 4 sets of traffic lights using buttons with
specific color backgrounds etc... but when I try to make them all the
same size, or align properly, I can't seem to make it happen the way I
want it to. So, here's my question...aside from the tutorial on the
Netbeans site, are there any others that you would recommend to me.
I think I have enough general knowledge of Java now to start hooking my
GUI (although there really won't be any user interface) into my main
program. I just need some more resources to help me step through the
process. I have a book on Netbeans but it doesn't cover Matisse. And I
have googled, but all I was able to find was a bunch of blogs and the
Netbeans site itself.
I was also thinking that it might be better to use a different widget
for my "lights" since I don't need a listener, a button really doesn't
fit the bill. Can I use something like a jPanel and have the background
color change on command?
